Dada Sadananda Biography
Dada Sadananda: Sect or not? Her president, he is God P. Sarkar - Hindu. The most important positions in it are held by Indians. The main office of the organization is located in India. Her spiritual philosophy is built on Hinduism. Only the name of the woman! This is a real Ananda Marga. Their image of Ananda Margi is fundamentally drawn exclusively by one person - Dada Sadananda.
And this small study would be completely inferior if I had not mentioned this name here, and did not express what I think of him. The most funny thing is, although not counting Ananda Marga with a pure evil, but still deeply convinced that interaction with it leads to personal degradation and distortion of a spiritual worldview, I have good personal relations with Dada Sadananda.
Of course, he forbade me to access Ananda Marge and the lessons of meditation oh, God, how can I live now? This, of course, affects my perception of his personality, so I ask you to consider it. But still, I will be extremely categorical. Let's start with the first: in my eyes, Sadanand is a rather wise person from everyday point of view, who has already lived more than half of his life, and did a lot of things in it.
He has an unusual life, and he is not an ordinary person. Of the most important things, of course - the adoption of monastic azesz and the creation of the project of the mind. He is a strong person who knows how to manage the organization and do business. This cannot be taken away from him. There are really a lot of useful information in his video. Unfortunately, an inexperienced viewer connects this with the ideology of AM, and not with the personal worldview of Dada Sadananda, and believes that all people are in AM are like that.
I hasten to upset you - mainly AM adherents both Margi and Acharya are people who are completely devoid of ability to think sensibly, and individuals as Sadananda are an exception. Weak people always need strong - such is life. This is mainly happening with the mind. Again, there is an exception-but this is a rarity. After all, who is listening to Sadanand? Who sits on him?
People who have lost meaning in life; People who do not know where to go; people depressed; People who thirsty guidelines and so on. Because people who have all this - why will they need a sadanand? To study any spiritual tradition, they can turn to hundreds of books and hundreds of lecturers on YouTube who know traditions no worse than sadananda or even better, because Sadananda knows only the ideology of AM.
In Ananda, Marge, in addition, is many channels of different Didi and DAD, spreading the teachings of AM, mostly all of them are English -speaking. But even in English, the most popular videos are the video of Dada Sadananda having an English -speaking Meditation Steps. Dada speaks with a brightly exposed Russian accent, and his lectures in English lose at times lectures in Russian.
But still, he is more popular than other employees of AM ten times. Because the main task of Dada is to inspire. He does not so much present ideology as he encourages, gives a chance, allows people to feel that there is happiness. So that you understand how a person who gave the tons of lectures on the ideology of Ananda Margi - a hour and a half video from Sadananda is a pages in the book of Sarkar.
In the books of Sarkar, a meager explanation is given, which is mainly intended for blind distribution by devotees. This is only the horse of Dada Sadananda - to take one page, to expand it, and to state your thoughts. Neither other employees nor other Margi do this. I gave lectures for several hours sometimes guided by just a couple of Sarkar phrases. Here the question is not the initial thought, but the question of the lecturer, who will teach it and will develop it.
Dada Sadananda thinks very well, and loves to introduce different cultural references and scientific facts into her videos. This is not at all an approach. Believe me - I know what I'm talking about. And it would seem - what is so bad? Dada Sadananda is a sectarian to the brain of bones. And the worst thing in him is that it is in the brain of the bones that he is a sectarian, and outside - an adequate person.
After all, what is the biggest problem arising from his video? A person sees that he sits sensibly, rationally reasoning the monk, and speaks of spirituality. And when a person watches such videos with dozens, he develops the belief that, with the help of the same rationality and common sense, Dada on the spiritual path came and joined the organization. But the problem is that Dada Sadananda himself, who entered the path to AM, was in a difficult crisis at that time he was near Ti.
He drank, smoked, was engaged in other pernicious things, and, of course, was unhappy, and did not know at all what to do with life. At that moment, Ananda Marga came to him, and pulled him out of depression, first giving him a meditation that, of course, works, as it is part of the thousand -year -old Indian traditions, and only then imposing irrational beliefs that the Indian accountant is a god in the flesh, and that he needs to worship.
Passed the elevator, and then Acharya-training, worshiping the woman and meditation on it for years, Dada Sadananda believed that he was a god, and the inspired one went to carry the ideology in the CIS.The only problem was that to believe that some Indian accountant is a god, and to worship him, only extremely inadequate people were ready, who, of course, did not want to see in AM.
And therefore, Sadananda realized that there should be a method of spreading ideology, built on science and rationalism - after all, this is where humanity goes by the millenniums. Filling in this business for about a dozen years, Dada Sadananda opened the mind, where he began to release his videos. And every lectures are built on a good structure, rationalism, scientific confirmations, etc.
But it is very important to look at the fact that the base of these lectures is not to any extent rational. In other words, the methods of thought that Sadananda convey philosophy to people, he would never have come to his own beliefs. And all this rationalism, thinking, science is just an external layer of what hides the deep rational beliefs of Dada Sadananda, which is that P.
Sarkar is a god, and that the mission of people on earth is to establish the cult of his personality and his organization. I already wrote about hypocrisy above, I will not repeat myself. The most important thing for me is here to show where it comes from, and why it is so clearly visible to any person in Ananda Marge, who simply wants to open his eyes. The root and reason for this hypocrisy are based on the fact that the true teaching of Ananda Marges is the worship of Sri Anandamurti, and in the strict faith that he is a god embodied in the human body.
But any sensible person, if you tell him this, will immediately stop perceiving you adequately, and run away from your sect. Therefore, it is necessary to make a long way, the path of gradualness that will lead you from rational and true judgments to the fact that you will find yourself in the extension before the Indian accountant P. Sarkar, with the idea that this is the god of mankind.
On the divinity of Sarkar, which of all this is the conclusion? I want to finish this article using the logic of Ananda Marges. What is it? It consists in the fact that there is an ideology that P. Sarkar gave, aka Baba. And, according to her, in order to be an ideal person, you need to follow this ideology. The carriers of this ideology, people who wanted to most confess it are Achari.
Acharya from the point of view of Ananda Margie is one who teaches to live with his example. Dada Sadananda took on the rank of Acharya, that is, by his example, he teaches us how to live. Does he learn to think us? Yes, he certainly teaches. But before him were thousands of philosophers who did the same - we can learn from them.
Does he teach us to be moral? Yes, he teaches, but there were thousands of moral people who did the same to him - we can learn from them. Does he teach us to be happy? Yes, he does all this - but thousands and hundreds of thousands before him taught humanity before him, and thousands and hundreds of thousands of people will teach this. All this is the general property of human culture, and every reasonable person tries to cultivate all these qualities.
An exclusive, unique thing that Dada Sadananda teaches us is to fulfill the commands given by P. Sarkar, and worship him like God. This is what Dada Sadananda chose for himself as the meaning of his life. And so there is only one question to you - but will you want the same?
