As ''Ananda Sutram'' has never been published with an actual English translation of the five aphorisms corresponding to the fundamental principles of PROUT, the earlier version is often employed.
Though it is well-known and accepted that the relevant Samskrta sutras in ''Ananda Sutram'' do not translate to the words that were tacked onto the end of ''Idea and Ideology'', ''Ananda Sutram'' has never been published with an official English translation of those five aphorisms. As this is not rational, the only possible reason for that singular omission is a concession to the many authors who wrote articles and even books that employed the earlier English wording. Of course, this amounts to the imposition of dogma. But to this day, some older proutists argue feverishly and illogically in favor of that earlier wording.
