Namaskar,
The Tiljala mahaprayan program is a grand business venture - an industry all to itself.
It is similar to financial empire build upon the dogmatic shraddha ceremonies of Hinduism. In the name of shraddha, so many commodities bought and sold. All kinds of persons profit from this ceremony: Priests, businesses, suppliers, manufacturers, workers etc. Plus there are numerous big and small firms involved in this money-making operation within the Hindu religion. It is a veritable racket.
In the city of Gaya, almost the entire income and profits are generated via the shraddha ceremonies. Priests make enough money in the month of August to support themselves year-round. There are so many exploiters involved in keeping this shraddha industry running. They are all in cahoots with one another and profit off the common people, i.e. those families grieving the loss of their loved one.
Religious trading is common in India - particularly in places like Deoghar, Ayodhya, Varanasi, and Puri. Their economy is wholly dominated by religious trading; by this way those cities make exorbitant sums of money.
Over the generations, so many good people - even saints and rishis - raised their voice against the shraddha dogma & exploitation, but they could not do anything. They could not put a dent in the armour as those exploiters are very powerful.
Now we see the same thing generating in Ananda Marga. The mahaprayan (MPD) industry is a monstrosity where so many wts, vendors, sellers, and merchants reap their profits up to the sky. They want to continue this up to eternity and spend their days validating this dogmatic program in order to keep themselves in business.
Here is one dramatic example. The Ananda Dhiira master unit in California is selling mahaprayan Mahaprayana on-line via Paypal. Anyone can purchase it. These sales represent a major portion of the annual income for that MU. And there are innumerable other ways that organisers and merchants around the globe are profiteering. Although Tiljala is the epicenter of the money-making, the money is flowing to all parts.

All told, what is happening with mahaprayan is similar to the Haj
industry in Islam. Religious traders rally round and invent new and
newer ways of generating profits from this pilgrimage. Nowadays it is a
multi-billion dollar industry - everything from hotel rooms to taxi cab
rides and everything in between. And the ones who make the most are the
priests.
The same type of economic structure has been built around the mahaprayan Mahaprayana program in our Ananda Marga.
Remember the program of mahaprayan must not be not done for Taraka Brahma because He did not depart - He is the eternal Parama Purusa. So the mahaprayan is for regular humans, i.e. mortals. And to apply this to that vast, timeless Entity - the Parama Purusa Baba - is sinful.
"The one formless, beginningless and infinite Parama Brahma (Supreme Consciousness) is the only entity to be attained by living beings – That alone is Jagat Guru (the Supreme preceptor), That alone has revealed Brahmavidyá (intuitional science) to us through the medium of the name and form of Anandamúrtijii. Unit beings must be made to appreciate Its majesty." (CC-2, Sadhana, pt #1a)
"Their one intention is to fill their pockets with money, but they publicly pronounce that they want to follow the gospels of Dharma. Oh human beings, beware of these impostors. Try to apply your power of discrimination to know who are your friends and who are your foes. You should never allow yourselves to fall victim to these political and religious traders." (AMIWL-6, Microcosm and Macrocosm)
"In most cases religions took advantage of human weaknesses, crippled the people’s rationality, and sapped their strength, thus facilitating their exploitation by the religious traders. When the vitality and strength of the masses remains unexpressed, the exploiters will be able to exploit them in the economic and other spheres of life for a long time with relative ease. In the annals of human history it can be seen in all ages that the various exploiters were the patrons and the preachers of religion." (AMIWL-7, Form and Formless)
The use of the mahaprayan Mahaprayana program for Taraka Brahma Parama Purusa is a dogma. There no MPD for Lord Shiva nor Lord Krsna. So this mahaprayan dogma and money-making scheme is polluting Ananda Marga.
Namaskar,
