Baba
Puppet show
Namaskar,
#1: PP is continuously wearing a garland at DMS stage like Sadguru Baba. Whether PP thinks he is Guru? In all his photos, PP is found wearing a garland.

#2: At DMS, during the varabhaya mudra video, PP Vishvadevananda continues to sit on his elevated seat. He performs Guru Puja at his elevated seat. He never comes down even to the DMS stage level where GS & PA sits.
~ PP Accepting & Wearing Garland to Project Himself as Divine Entity ~
Here we have to remember a few things:
The post of purodha pramukha is a social post, not a spiritual post. And there is no separate Caryacarya of Purodha Pramukha Dada ji. That means he must adhere to the regular Caryacarya just like any disciple.
Sarvatmananda initially and later on Rudrananda have tried to turn the post of Purodha Pramukha into some type of great medium between margiis and Parama Purusa in order to usurp maximum power. But rational margiis understand that PP is a disciple on the same plane as every other Ananda Margii.
PP never follows Baba’s order: sin
Let us recall the history and never forget that from the beginning, PP skipped so many fundamental dharmic practices.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com
(a) PP Vishvadevananda never attends dharmacakra;
(b) PP Vishvadevananda never sings Prabhat Samgiita while sitting on a common seat for all in the dharmacakra hall;
(c) PP Vishvadevananda never stands and dances or sings kiirtan in the DC hall;
(d) PP Vishvadevananda never participates in akhanda kiirtan;
(e) PP Vishvadevananda never does madhura sadhana;
(f) PP Vishvadevananda never attends paincajanya;
(g) PP Vishvadevananda never sits on a general seat for Guru Puja; he never sits on the common carpet for all in the DC hall.
(h) PP Vishvadevananda never raises the slogan, Parama Pita Baba Ki – Jai, for Baba when others were also raising the slogan.
(i) PP Vishvadevananda never attends DMS kiirtan, rather he leaves the hall / pandal.
(j) PP Vishvadevananda nods and smiles and accepts the “Salute to the Divine Father” from VSS when he is coming and going from certain programs. That is complete dogma. If PP wishes to accept a salute from VSS then it should be a salute to the post of Purodha Pramukha etc, not a salute to the Divine Father. Parama Purusa Baba is the Divine Father.

Ananda Marga ideology guides us, “You are to attend Dharmacakra weekly. These are all codes of discipline as prescribed by Bhágavata Dharma. You must follow these codes. There cannot be any concession in this respect, rather concession is dangerous…One may be a king or may be a very poor man, but the code of dharma is equally applicable to all. In this matter, nobody can claim any special concession or favour.” (1)

So much time has gone by in vain
"Eso eso prabhu mor manane…” (Prabhat Samgiita #4941)
Purport:
O’ Parama Purusa, please come in the depths of my ideation, japa, shravana, manana, nididhyasana, and sadhana. By Your sweet attraction, I am looking towards the path of Your arrival. Every day, every moment, I am awaiting Your blissful presence.
Baba, Divine Entity, You have lovingly infused my whole existence with bhakti. Now I do not want any material boons, prestige, money, wealth, or any kind of mundane riches. I only want Your karuńá. So kindly appear in dhyana, I want to get You in my Guru cakra always, and bless me with parabhakti so I can become one.
O’ Parama Purusa, in yearning for You, ages and ages have passed; so much time has gone by in vain. Countless dawns and evenings have come and gone while I was crying in longing for You. Now my eyes are floating in the tears in the thought of You. Baba, I request You to show Yourself close before me - in my mind.
O’ Baba, You are my everything. Be merciful and come in my contemplation, meditation, puja, and dhyana...
Note for Prabhat Samgiita #4941:
[1] Karun'a': In the second stanza, the term karuna has been used. This is when one harbours a deep sense of empathy, is pained by another's suffering, and feels, "I should help them.” For example, suppose a beggar is wallowing in misery. By seeing his wretched condition, you felt, "I should help him and remove his agony.” This heartfelt feeling is the expression of karuna'.
Similarly, suppose a bhakta is suffering and unable to progress in the physical, psychic, or spiritual realms for any reason. In such circumstances, Parama Purusa cannot bear to watch that sadhaka suffer. He feels He must rescue them immediately. With His deep empathy and mercy, Parama Purusa removes their agony, so that once again that bhakta can progress in all realms of life. This entire liila is called His karun'a'.
Difference between krpa' & karun'a'
In the case of karun'a', Parama Purusa is moved by a bhakta's suffering and comes forward to save that bhakta. Whereas with krpa' (grace), the bhakta is not suffering but even then Parama Purusa is bestowing His blessing.
It is just like if a beggar is sick and suffering half-naked in the freezing cold. If with great empathy a passerby selflessly helps that beggar without expecting anything in return, that is karuna’. Because the passerby is moved and motivated into action by seeing the beggar's suffering. In contrast, if a student is not sick, and that person just wishes to give the student a gift, then that krpa’.
When out of empathy Parama Purusa lovingly comes to the aid of the suffering bhakta to relieve them of their spiritual strife, that is the karuna of Parama Purusa; and, if that same bhakta is not suffering in the spiritual realm, yet Baba still bestows His blessing to enhance their bhakti, that is His krpa’ on the bhakta.
