Namaskar,
I stood there amazed and stunned by Mukunda's replies.
Then Mukunda spoke how Guru gives tests on the more personal level also.
"Citsvarupanandji was basically a good person. The only reason Dada Citsvarupanandji had so many alleged girlfriends and illicit affairs is because Guru was giving him tests. There is absolutely no sin or wrongdoing attached with Dadaji. Citsvarupanandji was fine from beginning to end - only Baba changed his (Dada C's) mind and made things like this by giving him tests. Same is the cased with the alleged sexual affairs of Hariishanandji. Likewise the first Vimalanandji who came to NY sector had so many illicit relations - but that blame goes to Guru and His system of giving tests. No wrongdoing can be attached with these Dadas."
I said, "Really, there is no wrongdoing for such Dadas?"
Mukunda replied, "Certainly not. Another key example is Dada Haratmanandji. He has a long history of allegedly swallowing up younger Didis. First he entices them, then he carries out illicit relations with them, and then he promises them the sun, moon and sky. Those Didis become so enamoured that they want to run away with Haratmananda Dada. Then Dada expresses his delight and tells them to go first and that he will join them in a few months. So the Didi leaves and Dada shuts the door on them - he never leaves. Rather he casts his eyes towards another unsuspecting Didi. Dada Haratmanandji did this with Didi Ananda Japamala and many other Didis like Didi Ananda Maetreyii. Dada Haratmanandji literally ruined their careers as avadhutikas - and most recently he has been involved with a Didi working in Nairboi sector. So always he is involved with someone. But here again, who can outrightly blame Dada Haratmanandji for this, and how can blame those Didis like Ananda Japamala and Ananda Maetreyii. Just Guru is giving them all tests - one test after another, Dadas and Didis. There is nothing more to be said about this."
Hearing this, I said, "Are you sure that Guru gives tests like this?"
Dada countered, "Of course I am sure. I could not be more sure. I am 1000% certain because there are other Dadas in this same boat. Guru gave them tests like this also. Both Paramananda and Mahitoshananda also allegedly got involved in physical relationships with Didis and ruined their careers. In particular, Dada Paramanandji brought one Didi very close and promised to live with her forever. But he never fufilled his promise and she became so distraught that she returned to her laokik family in Bettiah. Then also Paramananda had illicit relations with Didi Kaoverii (DSL Purnea) and personally invited her to come with him to Darjeeling where they will "enjoy life together." But this was just one empty promise and ultimately this Didi became frustrated and left her Wt-ship. But always Paramanandji is pursuing some Didi for such affairs. But he is beyond blame as is Mahitoshanandji and those Didis. All are exonerated. Because when Guru is giving these Dadas & Didis such tests then who can fault them. Rather Baba is behind it all - so it is useless to blame these specific Dadas like Paramananda and Mahitoshananda as well as Didi Kaoverii etc. It is not their fault. They are helpless when Guru gives them these tests."
I was both baffled and shocked by all that Dadaji had to say. I spoke aloud, "Really, these are all cases of Guru giving tests?"
Dadaji told, "I could give you innumerable more examples of Baba giving similar tests to Dadas and Didis. There are endless cases - I could talk all day and night about this.
Hearing thus, I thought, "God save us from this perverted philosophy where Guru gives tests so that disciples fall from the path."
Here is the true teaching from Ananda Marga philosophy.
Ananda Marga scripture says, "The more microcosms advance along the path of Pratisaincara, the more developed they become, and the more freedom they are granted to act independently. Of course they can only enjoy as much freedom as the Supreme Authority chooses to give them. The amount of suffering caused by reactive momenta depends upon how microcosms use or misuse this freedom. It serves no purpose whatsoever to blame the Supreme Entity for this suffering. After all, you have been given the freedom, the full liberty, to perform the original deeds as you think fit. Since every action contains a seed of reaction you will have to undergo the reactions of your actions. These seeds or reactive momenta are expressed through your non-original deeds (sam'skára múlaka) over which you have no control."
"A person is reborn in a physical structure and physical environment which are congenial for the expression of the unrequited sam'skáras. The Cosmic Mind directs the disembodied soul to that particular environment where it will get the maximum opportunity for the expression of its latent sam'skáras. Thats why some people live miserable lives in squalid conditions and suffer from poor health while others lead joyful, healthy, and worry-free lives in a comfortable environment. Yet no matter what circumstances one finds oneself in, one must realize and accept that no situation is without hope. For ones psychic expansion, one will have to keep ones mind fixed on the Supreme Entity, one will have to advance towards that Absolute Entity while removing all obstacles from the path." (AMIWL-7, Form and Formless)
Namaskar,
in Him,
Ramdev
Note: This was the Dada Mukunda of the Daltonganj incident.
The whole society is in search of spiritually-minded leaders. So spirituality is a basic and essential quality. Baba has graced us and brought us under His shelter and given us the direction to move on the proper path. And that is the only way for our success.
Baba says, "People will recognise Sadvipras by their exemplary conduct...These Sadvipras - those who follow a correct philosophy of life and practice a correct system of sadhana or spiritual practices - will be the leaders of society in the future." (Prout in Nutshell - 18, p.3)
And in the 'Your Mission' discourse, Baba blesses us in the following way;
"Remember You have to serve humanity. You have to dedicate yourself to the cause of humanity as a whole. Your life is valuable; your time is all the more valuable. You should not waste a single moment. The task is glorious. The task is novel...You will be victorious. So march ahead!" (Prout in Nutshell - 18)

In the festival of lights, everyone's heart is overjoyed with bliss. By attaining the Supreme Entity, even the pollen of mind is ecstatic with joy.
With the arrival of Parama Purusa the whole atmosphere has become joyous and blissful...
