Namaskar,

Somebody is targeting Pranavananda dada. I don’t know their allegation is true or false, but what I have realized Pranavananda dada in my life- it is really amazing. Here I want to clarify that I am not the supporter of any AMPS group.

Baba selected Pranavananda dada as office secretary of Ananda Marga in 1969 or before. He remained on this post for approx 16 years. He worked hard and Baba was very happy with him. Wherever he was posted he justified his job. He is a courageous WT. He was never afraid of Police and Communists. He fought with them like a warrior. After Baba’s physical departure, he was removed from his central posting. All groupist WT do not like him. But he never participated in any anti Marga activity. For last few years, he has been staying in Kullu (North India) Ananda marga campus and kept himself isolated and aloof from dirty politics of a few senior WT leaders of various groups.

Pranavananda dada was posted in Ananda Nagar for a few years (before 1995) and I was there in Ananda Nagar at the same time. He was stationed just opposite side area of Railway track in Ananda Nagar i.e. towards East Ananda Nagar. Before his arrival, nobody was having courage to stay in that forest area. There was no road towards his AMPS unit. Railway approval was required to construct the road and cross the Railway track. Railway authority rejected his application. He didn’t get disappointed and he decided to construct road across the Railway track without approval. He dared to write to Railways that he was going to construct the road across the track on certain date. And Dada completed the construction of road even after resistance. Police could not do anything. It was the effort of Pranavananda dada (by the grace of Baba) that the East part of Ananda nagar had flourished.

Since Pranavananda dada is human being hence he might have committed mistakes. As I have always told that only Baba is 100% perfect. We are human beings. We are proceeding from imperfection to perfection. The contribution of Pranavananda dada for Ananda marga mission can not be under estimated. One should not blame anybody due to rumours.

In Him
