Avadhuta: elder torture, crime, and death
Namaskar,
These days, in India, elder neglect is a crime. So those on the scene should inform the police to take care of the situation according to the laws of the country. Even if that means arresting the concerned parties. Please read below the tragic and graphic reports how one avadhuta was put in the circumstances to die quickly.

NAMASKAR TO ALL.
My name is Ratnakar Singh. I am doing a job in Bokaro Thermal and I am from Jamalpur. I was initiated by Late Ac. Nirmeghananda Dada on1 January 2006 at Anand Nagar, Purulia. He gave me all lessons. On 28 July 2016 morning a margi brother of Chas Bokaro informed me by phone about Nirmeghanand Dada’s sad demise. I took leave from my office and at noon I left for Anand Nagar Prout Bhawan. After arriving there I found dada’s mortal body was on pire. I silently did a namaskar to his invisible soul. Towards evening I met some dadas and volunteers in front of Sevadal building. I spent nearly 3 hours with them there. Then after I left for Pundag Station. I shall write here some very intriguing matters what those dadas and volunteers narrated. They gave my Dada’s photo in my mobile.
They told- Nirmeghanand dada did not meet a natural death, but he was killed by new SG of PU Ac. Vimalanand and CS of PU Ac. Paramanand. He was not getting proper medical treatment, food in Prout Bhawan. Nirmeghanand dada was very simple man, therefore he was kept here. Old and sick dadas cant live here. Organisation does not have any shelter house for old and sick.
Then I remembered some past events. I visited Ananad nagar Prout Bhawan on second week of July 2016 to meet Dadaji. I purchased some biscuits, apples and banana for my Acharya dadaji. I met him in a big room near the kitchen at noon. Dada was getting ready for his noon meal. When he saw me he felt very happy and welcomed me in feeble voice. He was delighted when I gave those bananas etc to him. I saw his food items- 5 triangle shaped dry chapati roti(to cheat him for Paratha), black-yellow colour water of dal, watery curry of ladies finger and potato( very small quantity). I asked him many queries about his foods, medical care, daily needs what he was getting there.
I am now writing what Nirmeghanand Dada told me- “ You saw now the food what I get here. Vimalanand is not giving money for Prout Bhawan. He is a great miser, all know him. Generally I don’t get dal pulse everyday in meal because of shortage of money. The cook of this building is a very cruel man. After death of Shidhhyoganandji I became hopeless because organization did not arrange for a dada in place of Shidhhyoganandji. Due to depression I became weak and could not express my words. I was contacting margis by phone to arrange money for Anand nagar and my treatment. Madhuvartanand, Abhiramanand, Nabhtitanand, Paramanand….. and some other dadas were telling margis don’t give money to Nirmeghanand, he is psychic patient. I have enlarged prostate. I get many times pain in my heart left side of chest. Always I was thinking about organization and Prout Building, Prout magazine. I was collecting money every month by touring whole India. I was giving money to Patna magazine, Anand nagar Prout Bhawan, and occasionally to legal need at Delhi. Always I was having money in my pockets. But now gradually I became sick and could not make tour and could not collect money. I became poor. Nobody comes to me now. Nobody talks with me. I am now a rejected material. I feel restless when I think about Vimalanand and Paramanand’s hypocritical behavior. I am useless for the organization. Here these fellows give me medicine meant for psychiatric patient. I want to go to Ranchi for ECG of my heart. In this building many times no electricity for 4 or 5 days at a stretch. Difficult life in dark and too much heat and mosquitoes. In Delhi I was getting food, medicines, care properly. Vimalanand and Paramanand brought me to this hell to die. They want Prout Building of Delhi for their hidden plans. For this reason they threw me out of Delhi. Paramanand took away my mobile phone. These two want money and power only by exploiting margis and organization. Vimalanand sold Anand Marg property in America and he has kept a good amount of money in secret place. Very cunning person. He has money, so he has ego. He never helps anyone. He gives long lecture without any output. Here scarcity of food to survive, but he is blind and silent. I am dumb and week. Organization threw me here to die quickly. Food what I eat here you can see and imagine. Those old, aged dadas who have money, they are enjoying. I never kept money secretly. See what my condition is now. ”
This is the ground reality of Anand Marg organization. Honest and sincere dadas cant survive. In old age no medical care, no food, no guaranty of minimum necessities of life. Those who have secret money life will be pleasant to them.
Namaskar

Report to police
My hunch is that most probably there are still many more cases of elder abuse in Ananda Marga where monks are struggling on the brink of life and death and not getting proper care. So we have to check each and every unit in Ananda Nagar and check to see how elder neglect and torture is going on. This type of thing is not new unfortunately. There are many such incidents that happened in the past. Above are some of those names.
In many countries if a child is harassed, abused, beaten, tortured or sexually attacked then if someone knew about it then they are legally liable to report it to the authorities. A failure to do so will result in their own arrest. So everyone is legally bound to report child abuse. And in many countries, the same is the case with elder abuse, i.e. the torturing of senior citizens. The standard of our Ananda Marga is far above that of the general society, but certain criminal minded people have
brought that standard way down, far below. Such derelicts are trying to destroy the sanctity of our Ananda Marga. Yet Ananda Marga is meant to be a shining light for how to elevated society to a greater standard.
Conclusion
The abuse and torture described in the above letter is worse than how people would treat their slaves in the hoary past. At least those slave owners had a little bit of mercy. But these Dadas are committing heinous acts with their own peers and colleagues. You will not even find this even in the animal kingdom, what to say about any human society. Animals help others in times of crisis. All in all this is an absolute slur on our Ananda Marga.
In Him,
Tandava Murti
Excuse me: Although it is commendable this Ananda Nagar reporter took steps to inform everyone of this tragedy, I cannot wrap my head around why he did not speak up earlier when he knew this was all going on for months. And he just kept quiet. It is obvious he felt threatened by Dadas - that is why he did not speak up earlier. If earlier he had informed us all of the situation - just as he spread the news around the globe today - then the deceased avadhuta might still be sitting among us today.
