Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Cosmic Family,

Welcome once again to Harbinger, the Ananda Marga global news. This exciting issue with its all new format and fresh inspiring articles shows once again the invincibilityinvincibility and undying of our great world movement.

Although thethe corrupt Indian politicians tried to stop thethe publication of Harbinger, we have sprung up again with great vigor and more enthusiasm and devotion toto our great mission thanthan ever before. Let this regeneration be a clear indication of our determination and strength toto those who wish to crush the rise of spiritualism and moral leadershipleadership in thethe world today.

Harbinger means something thatthat foreshadows thatthat which is toto come or one that pioneers a major change. Harbinger, thethe magazine, hopes to be just that.

Our purpose will be to help spread expansive ,ideas, sublime ideology and futuristic social innovat'ions;innovat·ions; moving everever towards thethe establishment of the mission of thethe great spiritual and social leader, Lord Shrii ShrLi Anandamurtiji.

In this news magazine, we hope toto deal with all the pleasures (and problems) of establishing an inspired,inspired, moralistic human inin thethe twentiethtwentieth century. From thethe view of our OWllowtt Central office, we can promote thethe exchange of valuable discoveries and new information on thethe organiza­ tional level also.

Of course, without the inspiration, guidance, and correspondence of the workers and family people, none of this will be at all pospos.sible.sible. , This third issueissue of the Harbinger also marks the lOOOth day of BABA's miraculous fast and we.we, as aisa1s devotees, are once again amazed at His invincible determination and unbelievable ideological strength. No other leader of this world past or present has matched �is~is feats and we can only imagine what the future will bring in thethe company of our BABA.

He has told us recen�lyrecen~ly thatthat He is not very impressed, at present, with the work in the various sectors. Let us now pledge to work harder, with even more dedication and devotion to

please our beloved Father and to gain love,love 1 respect and support for this great �ovement~ovement from thethe general mass who is crytng out inin the darkness for our help every day.

We would greatly appreciate comments, letters, artwork and ideasideas from anyone who is interest­ ed inin contributing.

By December 26, 1975, Shrii Shrii Anandamurtijii, known by his millions of lovingloving de­ votees around thethe world as BABA, had fastedfasted for 1000 days 1inn aa small dirty jail cell in Bihar State, India. He is alaloneone now, seeing no one day after day except for hostile jail authorities who have torturedtortured Him and d2nied Him even the minimum necessities of llife,ife, such as soap and clean water for his bbath.ath.

He has been inin pprisonrison for more thanthan fourfour years on contrived and baseless charchargesges await­ ing trial.trial. We have now heard fromfrom reliable sources thatthat thethe government has carefully pre­ pared more thanthan 100 prosecution witnesses and no defense witness is daring toto testifytestify so far because-ofbecause· of fear of imprisonment.imprisonment. It is doubtful thatthat even BABA himself will be able toto testifytestify inin court due toto ill health and He has repeatedlyrepeatedly requested thatthat thethe trialtrial be post­ poned forfor thethe rreasoneason thatthat a fairfair ttrialrial isis virtually iimpossiblemposs ible at thisthis timetime in India ...

Due toto severe press censorship, it has been very difficult toto findfind out about conditions in India, especially what is happening inside thethe jailsjails where many spiritualists and social leadersleaders are being held on fraudulentfraudulent chargescharges and without benefit of counsel. RecentlyRecently,however, ,however , a Harbinger correspondentcorrespondent fromfrom a western country went toto India and at his own riskrisk went toto thethe very jailjail where BABA isis being held. The follow�ngfollow~ng reportreport of his has been given exclusively toto Harbinger and isis being published here forfor the very firstfirst timetime anywhere:

DFTS-05901 The angry looking guard unfolded the money and sh��edsh~~ed it to the jailer inside who shook his I headhead.. With tears in her eyes, she took more folded money from her blouse and gave it to the guard who demanded yet more moneymoney.. Finally, she was alloallowedwed to talk to her husband through a smsmallall crack between the gate and the wall for about five minutes. Then the guard came and chased her away.

They refused me a place to sit and the guards outside angrily tnld me several tiTtlestimes ttoo go il'Wayil'way which J refused to do.

While I waited, an intelligent, well-grwell-groomed,oomed, elderly gentleman was led past meme with a rope around his waist like a captured animal by two con®on �olicemen~olicemen in khakhaki.ki .

Eventually, the CIDeID Investigator came out (he had been inside the jajailil office the entire time) and thoroughly checked my credentials and insisted that my visa for India was invalidinvalid.. I finally showed him all the proper stamps and he took my passport against my wishes and returned inside the jail.

From inside, I could hear them tapptappinging my name on the telegraph and was warned that I could probably be arrested if they could get permission from New . He returned my passport afteafterr my repeated insistance and rudely told me that the visitivisitingng time had expired so there was no possibili�ypossibili~y of meetingmeeting BABA for at least a week.

As you can see, I was stalled all day for no reason and in the end; they deemed my re­ quest in a hypo critical manner.manner .

I sincerely feel that if I had nnotot left at that time (on the next available train), I would have been arrested and mmostost likely wwouldould have still been in jail in India today. Only due to the fact that the telegraph was slow in aansweringnswering was I allow­ ed (by the Lord's grace)grace} to escape the clutches ooff that unscrupulous government agent ...

Answer - He got some wrinkled unhealthy vegetables and rriceice twice a day which we cooked ourselves but the jailers ststoleole much of our ration before it was even given to us. We only received about 30 per cent ot the foods allocated to us by law. Harbinger - What were the accomodations in the jail? Answer We were given a lice ridden blanket and a cement floor with no cleacleann clothes or cots. In the first months, however, there were 30 of us in the cell at one time and all had been arrested without any toothbrush, change of clothes or blanket.

BABA mentioned six countries to me that would be espespeciallyecially good for pracar. They are Turkey, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq,Iraqt Kuwait and Israel. ForFar this reason, we will concentrate efforts in these areas to begin with.

From Central Office (Camp Calcutta at the time)�time)~ I came to know thatthat BABA had said, "He.lp"Help Dhritibodhananda to bring the matter (persecution(persecution of Ananda Marga) to the attention of thethe world." I heard that SABABABA mentioned it twice and it was continually haunting my mind. I 0 have since prepared a bookletbouklet called, "Why I Escaped from Indiao.India • (It tells the story of his dramatic flight from oppression and hopefully it can be distributed to all governments, em­ bassies and the public in thethe near future),future).

TAIPEI, TAIWAN From Ac. Vinayaka Brc. • The Margiis in Taichung (China)(China) are getting stronger and stronger. We did meditation for an hour a.ndand a half, a great feat even for our older Margiis. We have been going on pic­ nics and having advanced classes. Now there is some class going on every night thatthat I am there and II have even had to begin putting twotwo public classes in one day to meet the increas­ ing demand of people who want to take His six week course. Each clasclasss is so packed there is no room for more.morc.

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL From Ac. Mahesha Brc. Israel is firmly established now with two strong units, several active Dharmacakras in Jerusalem and Tel-a-vlvTel-a-vJ.v and many classes taught by Brei. MalatiMa1ati Ac .... The Margiis are moving closer together and surrendering their hearts to the Lord.

A daily incident in the city was the burnburninging of buildings and collapsing of houses on account of rockets bombardment thus resultresultinging in heavy casualties and deathsdeaths.. I shall narrate some of my own which 1I narrowly escaped by the grace of BABABABA: :

One morning while I was doing ((a. rigorous spiritspiritualual dance) after my morning medita­ ttion,io n , a rocket sent by communcommunistsists hit and bombed so heaheavily,vily , I thought that the building in which I was staying would collapsecollapse.. But by the grace of BABABA,BA, the adjacent buildibuildingng was bombed instinstead.ead . I ccameame to the conclusion that the spispiritualritual vibrations ememanatedanated by the per­ forformancemance of Tandava had deviated the course of the rocket and hit the next buildbuilding.ing .

While I was nearing the Central Market of the citcity,y , I heard the bombardment of rockets very near'near· meme. . I rushed to the spot and saw tvtu my surprise many people were hit by the bbulletsullets and about fif­ teen people died on thethe spspot.ot. There was a pCt)1pc:Jl of blood all ovover.er . By the divine wish of BABA hhadad I not bbeeneen delayed at the UN OiOffi<:

Though I was to leave thethe country after fiffifteenteen days as per my previous plansplans,, I prprolongedolonged my visa for one month more with ththee intention of doing more pracarpracar..
