It is earnestly requested of all Dadas and Didis to read this leaflet with due seriousness and to grasp the gravity of the dire circumstances faced by the organization, which has reached a pitiable and lamentable state.
1. After 1990, Dada Rudrananda, with the concealed agenda of becoming the Purodha Pramukh himself, maneuvered his way into the Central Committee and the Central Executive Committee through relentless efforts, using Dada Parameshwarananda as his conduit. Once he secured his position within the Central Committee, Rudrananda revealed his true colors. In 2001, he transferred the first Purodha Pramukh, Acarya Shraddhananda Avadhuta, from Tiljala, Kolkata, to Ranchi.
2. Dada Chidananda and Dada Parameshwarananda were the primary obstacles in Dada Rudrananda’s path to becoming the Purodha Pramukh. Through a calculated conspiracy, he subjected both to mental harassment, forcing them to step aside.
3. Dada Swarupananda, who served as the personal assistant to the Purodha Pramukh Acarya Shraddhananda Avadhuta, was discredited through a conspiracy orchestrated by Dada Rudrananda. Seizing the opportunity, Dada Rudrananda installed himself as the personal assistant to the Purodha Pramukh.
4. Dada Rudrananda orchestrated the arrest of Dada Tadbhavananda by involving the police, fulfilling his duties as a CBI informer. Previously, during the Emergency period, he had similarly conspired to have Dada Jagdishwarananda arrested by the police. Following that incident, Baba had formed an inquiry commission, wherein Dada Rudrananda was found guilty and sentenced to nine forms of punishment.
5. In 1978, based on the findings of the inquiry commission set up by Baba (to investigate Dada Rudrananda’s role in the police arrest of Dada Jagdishwarananda during the Emergency), Dada Rudrananda was declared guilty of acting as a CBI informer. Consequently, Baba imposed nine forms of punishment on him, including the severance of all personal ties with Dada Rudrananda.
Dada Rudrananda’s Punishments and Misdeeds: A Grim Account
Dada Rudrananda was sent for retraining as a sannyasi and barred from entering Baba’s quarters.
He was prohibited from speaking to Baba or seeking his audience.
He was explicitly forbidden from entering DMCs or participating in VSS activities.
Dada Rudrananda was also barred from attending meetings in Baba’s presence or participating in seminars.
Baba had intended to change Dada Rudrananda’s name. However, upon Dada Rudrananda’s plea, Baba relented and allowed him to retain his name.
After completing his sannyasi training, Baba posted Dada Rudrananda to a remote corner of the country, in a place called Jarwa. Baba kept him stationed there.
6. Dada Rudrananda’s role as a CBI informer dates back to the tenure of Indira Gandhi. This was corroborated by the late Mangalbihari Ji, former Secretary (IAS), who noted Dada Rudrananda’s legal name, Rameshwar Pandey, as a registered CBI informer in the appendix of the Shah Commission files. This information, along with related videos, has gone viral multiple times.
7. When Dada Rudrananda’s aspirations of becoming Purodha Pramukh remained unfulfilled, he subjected several senior Dadas and Didis to relentless mental harassment.
Such actions not only underline the severity of the conspiracies orchestrated by Dada Rudrananda but also highlight the immense suffering caused by his relentless ambition and betrayal.
8. When Dada Nigamananda Ji became a significant obstacle in Dada Rudrananda’s aspiration to become Purodha Pramukh, Dada Rudrananda perceived that his dream would remain unattainable as long as Nigamananda Ji was present.
9. After the passing of Dada Nigamananda Ji, Dada Keshavananda Ji, who had been assigned institutional duties from Ranchi, was relieved of all responsibilities.
10. Dada Rudrananda made multiple attempts to harm the Purodha Pramukh, including incidents in Himachal and at the Muradnagar Master Unit near Delhi. However, due to the Rector's vigilance and Baba’s grace, these conspiracies were thwarted. Later, the Rector who had foiled Dada Rudrananda’s plans faced physical and mental harassment from him in Jamalpur.
11. Dada Mantrachetananda Ji, the Global SG of VSS, and Dada Lilabodhananda Ji, the Global Seva Dal In-charge, were allegedly manipulated by Dada Rudrananda to serve his personal interests.
12. Dada Rudrananda’s strategies to weaken the sannyasi system led to a significant reduction in the number of monks within the organization. In 2001, when Dada Rudrananda shifted the operations from Tiljala, Kolkata, to Ranchi, the number of workers was around 450. Over time, due to his discriminatory practices, this number dwindled to approximately 200, reflecting the adverse impact of his leadership.
13. Dada Rudrananda also worked to undermine the Sannyasi Training Center, resulting in a drastic decline in the number of trainees. Deliberate weakening of the training infrastructure.
14. His conspiracies extended to dismantling systems like Grihi Tattvika, Grihi Acarya, and Grihi Purodha, along with the LFT and ACB systems, thereby disrupting the institutional framework envisioned by Baba.
15. Dada Rudrananda avoided conducting elections for Bhukti Pradhans as prescribed by Caryacarya, opting instead to appoint them directly, which marked a significant departure from the democratic principles laid out in the organizational guidelines.
16. Dada Rudrananda introduced new practices, such as organizing assemblies like Tattvika Mahasabha, Acarya Mahasabha, Avadhuta Mahasabha, and Purodha Mahasabha. He also instituted awards like Sadvipra Ratna, Dharma Ratna, Seva Ratna, and Lifetime Achievement.
During the Festival in Delhi, he orchestrated the presentation of the Sadvipra Ratna award to Purodha Pramukh Acarya Vishwadevananda Avadhuta, which many perceived as a symbolic insult to the Purodha Pramukh. Traditionally, higher-ranking individuals confer awards to those in subordinate positions, and this act inverted that order, creating discontent among members. Moreover, when the Purodha Pramukh presented a Lifetime Achievement award to Dada Rudrananda, it was seen as a deliberate attempt to undermine the sanctity of his position.
17. After gaining influence in the Central Committee, Dada Rudrananda allegedly initiated actions to fragment the organization. Subsequently, due to unfavorable treatment, groups led by Dada Parameshwarananda Ji and Dada Vandananda Ji, form a third group.
18. Upon his entry into the Central Committee, Dada Rudrananda set in motion a grand conspiracy to dismantle the very essence of the Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha by attempting to erase the name of its revered Founder-President, Shri Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar.
19. The economic principles of PROUT, which global powers such as the KGB, CIA, and India's CBI—even during Indira Gandhi’s regime—could not extinguish despite their combined might, are now under threat from within. Dada Rudrananda, acting as a CBI informer, has made it his mission to weaken Shri Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar’s visionary PROUT framework, thus fulfilling his informer’s role with calculated intent.
20. The Corruption of Institutional Governance
Dada Rudrananda’s conspiracy extends to the structural governance of the organization. The Central Committee, the legislative body of the institution, and the Central Executive Committee, its executive arm, alongside the Tatvik, Acarya, Avadhuta, and Purodha boards—the judiciary arms of the organization—have been infiltrated by Dada Rudrananda's sycophants. These 'yes-men' have been strategically placed to consolidate his control.
In the Central Executive Committee alone, Dada Rudrananda orchestrated a situation where some of his loyalists hold seven to nine posts simultaneously. This blatant disregard for the principle of "one person, one post" highlights his inability—or unwillingness—to trust the institution's capable cadre.
21. In 2024, Dada Rudrananda attempted to undermine the sanctity of the judiciary boards (Tatvik, Acarya, Avadhuta, and Purodha) by conducting elections that blatantly violated the principles of Caryacarya. A significant majority of the organization's sincere workers resisted this breach, forcing him to postpone the elections. However, he later conducted these elections online, further disregarding Caryacarya, thereby effectively murdering the sacred guidelines enshrined by Baba.
22. In 2011, during a meeting at a Margii's residence in Ranchi, Dada Rudrananda remarked that Caryacarya, being over 60 years old, had become outdated and required radical changes. Comparing it to worn-out clothing that must be replaced, he revealed his audacious intent to dismantle the sacred guidelines laid down by Baba.
23. At the inauguration of Kirtan Nagar in Amjhariya, the Purodha Pramukha, Acarya Vishwadevananda Avadhuta, was invited to preside. However, when the moment of inauguration arrived, Dada Rudrananda's loyalists placed him beside the Purodha Pramukha, garlanded him, and handed him the ceremonial scissors to cut the ribbon, thus overshadowing the Purodha Pramukha’s rightful role.
This act, witnessed by hundreds of Margiis and the general public, amounted to an open insult to the Purodha Pramukha. Such actions reveal Dada Rudrananda's inability to tolerate the reverence accorded to the Purodha Pramukha.
24. Through this leaflet, a clarion call is being issued to all renunciate and household Margiis. The time for passive observation has passed. Let us collectively resolve to stand with body, mind, and resources to dismantle the destructive empire of Dada Rudrananda and reestablish the divine mission of Shri Shri Anandamurti.
This institution, created by the Supreme Consciousness, will function solely in adherence to the sacred guidelines given by Him—not under the dictates of Dada Rudrananda.
