Namaskar,
Some naive people think that because Dada Maheshvaranandji is doing Prout pracara he is above scrutiny or genuine criticism. Those who think like this have no idea about Prout teachings. Otherwise, why are they themselves going against the fundamentals of Prout and Ananda Marga.
According to Prout philosophy, the leaders must be of superlative character. The common people may have many flaws but not the leaders. To the degree of one's post and power, the more scrutiny one receives. It is my request that those who do not understand should open their eyes and not unnecessarily protect Dada M's unethical behaviour.
Dada Maheshvarananda is not like Ayatollah Khomeini, and Prout is not like Islam where the leader is beyond any criticism.
On the one side Dada Maheshvarananda is moving in avadhuta uniform and on the other side he treats himself as a family man. He wants the privileges of both worlds: Family man and monk.
Recently, Maheshvarananda was stating he was visiting his laokik family – which is a sin for an avadhuta.
That is the type of person he is.
One the one side he preaches to others about the greatness of avadhuta life to glorify himself, and on the other side he spreads the message of how he visited and stayed with his laokik family.
Altogether it is shameful and embarrassing for someone moving in avadhuta dress to talk & live in this way.
Here we must not forget Revered Baba's conduct rule for wholetimers.
"No relationship should exist with worldly family." (WT Conduct Rule, See Ref 1 below)
Yet, Dadaji writes boldly about visiting his laokik family, and then has the gall to sign the letter as Ac. Maheshvarananda Avt. This is his status. He has no shame about his own hypocrisy - only he is interested in his own personal glorification.
Guru clearly tells that there must not be contact with the worldly family, yet Dadaji is writing his memoirs of going to visit his worldly laokik family. As if this is approved behaviour for an avadhuta.
Only a confirmed hypocrite can do like this.
As an avadhuta, Maheshvarananda has only one family - the big, cosmic, universal family. Dadaji's family is the entire world. But this simple fact this purodha does not understand - how unfortunate. Maheshvarananda lost his common sense.
Muŕmuŕháye jat́á báŕáye mast phire jaesá bhaesá
Upar Khák lágáye man jyaesá ká taesá.
[Some people shave their heads, wear long beards, and move like big buffaloes; they smear their bodies with ashes, but internally their minds remain unchanged.]
Man ná ráunáiyá, ráunáile yogi kápŕá [“Instead of colouring your mind you simply dyed your cloth, O yogi!”]. These are useless pursuits." (2)
"Propelled by this urge for self-existence or desire for happiness, one who gives indulgence to káma, and runs after crude, subtle, or causal expressions (in other words, becomes a preya sádhaka) is a fool, because none of these crude, subtle or causal expressions can impart lasting peace or protection – for the simple reason that they are all fragmentary parts. For the sake of their self-existence if people give indulgence to preya, preya will eventually be unable to sustain them and their pyre of passion will reduce them to ashes." (3)

This report is quite damning of the Ranchi Faction. These findings are beyond disturbing.
"They march PP Dada around like a demi-god. PP Dada does not participate in paincajanya, nor kiirtan, nor bhajans. These devotional practices PP Dada does not do – his handlers wish to promote him as a demi-god, for reasons best known to them. This has created a poly-theistic platform in Ananda Marga."
They have successfully transformed Dharma into Dogma and the PP is accepting. If PP has the interests of Margiis and Ananda Marga at heart he would step down immediately and if Ranchi bigwigs equally cared they would advise him to quit.
But knowing Ranchi central, they will do everything in their power to see to it that PP is shielded, because he represents their own selfish interests.
It may well be that B group has a similar modus operandi.
Only a thorough education in Ananda Marga philosophy and ideology can difuse this “ticking time-bomb”.
Margiis must be vigilant.

Baba says, “The versatile Dronacarya was well known for his diplomacy in addition to his famed mastery of the art of weaponry and different scriptures. It is said that he concealed certain parts of this knowledge of weaponry and scriptures from his disciples but taught them to Arjuna. Supposedly he taught Arjuna diplomacy as well. The sages, saints and learned philosophers never considered diplomacy to be a good thing. It was their firm opinion that it led to the degradation of humanity and the decay of spirituality. In their opinion, just as a thief is caught by a thief, an exorcist is killed by a ghost, a snake charmer dies of snake-bite, similarly a practitioner of diplomacy is destroyed by diplomacy.”
“This is what happened in the case of Dronacarya. His son’s name was Ashvaththama, and Ashvaththama was also the name of an elephant killed in the Mahábhárata war. Dronacarya was informed of the death of Ashvaththama, the elephant, when Yudhisthira proclaimed ashvaththámá hatah [Ashvaththama is dead]. When he said iti gaja [the elephant] in a soft voice, the drums and tom-toms were loud enough that Dronacarya could not hear that portion. He thought that it was his son, Ashvaththama, who was dead. He became so upset on the battlefield that he was killed in the battle.” (Shabda Cayaniká Part 5, Disc: 28)
Note: The same thing happened with Ac Sarvatmananda Avt when he employed diplomacy to destroy so many innocent wts, margiis, and others. Ultimately he himself was destroyed. And there are so many examples of this. For instance, Ac Rudrananda Avt has long been using diplomacy tactics to harass so many innocent wts and margiis to serve his own ends, and now Dada Rudrananda himself is lying face down in the mud. After the episode in Ananda Nagar, Rudrananda is planning on abandoning the Ananda Nagar DMS grounds permanently. He tried hard to capture that site but he went down in defeat. Baba’s above teaching is very important. Those using diplomacy to destroy others invariably meet their own destruction.

DADA'S HYPOCRITICAL STANCE
On the one side Dada Maheshvarananda is moving in avadhuta uniform and on the other side he treats himself as a family man. He wants the privileges of both worlds: Family man and monk.
Recently, Maheshvarananda was stating he was visiting his laokik family – which is a sin for an avadhuta.

WT'S HAVE ONLY ONE FAMILY
As an avadhuta, Maheshvarananda has only one family - the big, cosmic, universal family. Dadaji's family is the entire world. But this simple fact this purodha does not understand - how unfortunate. Maheshvarananda lost his common sense.
JUST DEGRADED WAY OF LIVING
