Respected Brother Goenkaji,

Deepest namaskar. From my view here in Berlin Sector, in England, I see that you are certainly trying to help solve the problems of the organisation. They are of course deep problems at this moment, not small problems. So your desire to help solve the problems is of course much appreciated.

So in principle I also appreciate that you are forwarding various letters from different Margiis and acaryas to your mailing list.

I hope you can do the same with this letter that I am writing.

The point here is that I am concerned that people – such as brother Devesh Kumarji – are promoting one or another person as the ‘right person’ for the job.

Our problems need to be solved by following Carya’carya, NOT by supporting one or another personality. The present problems are far beyond what any of us can solve individually.

As well, if one person is promoted as the best person for the job [whether or not they really are the right person] then later that person may be criticized also. This is only natural. So, then our discussions become similar to party politics: supporting one person, or criticizing someone.

Thus we get into debates about whether someone is good for the job or bad for the job. And Baba never wanted us to be criticizing each other, especially in public. In fact WT rules prohibit criticizing another WT in public.

There is also the danger that a charismatic person emerges as a popular leader, even if he or she is not really qualified.

The solution to our current deep organisational crisis is to follow Carya’carya. This may take some thoughtfulness and indeed some discussion, but the solution will NOT be to promote and then follow one particular person as the proper leader, but rather we must understand how to follow His system.

I hope that we can soon come to the right solution to the crisis.

I remain yours,

In Him,

Ac. Jyotirupananda Avt.

Namaskar,We should not discuss any character related matter in public. In fact the accused may commit mistakes in frustration and in depression. My point is that earlier Pranavananda dada was a core member of Baba’s team and executed many great works for Ananda Marga for last more than 40 years. Whether we should forget all these great works done by him? Baba always told us after Varabhay mudra during all DMC, “Let everybody see the bright side of everything……….As per PROUT principals, >from Ananda Sutram (5-14): Vyas't'isamas't'isha'riirama'nasa'dhya'tmikasambha'vana'ya'm' caramo'payogashca. Purport: There should be maximum utilization of the physical, metaphysical and spiritual potentialities of unit and collective bodies of human society.In view of above, we should always encourage the bright side and good qualities of everybody and utilize his potentialities to the maximum extent. Every human being commits mistakes. Baba has made provision for the culprits to redress the behavior. After rectification of bad behavior, one becomes a normal human being. We should not carry the old allegation for long.Pranavananda dada is a man of caliber. He is one of the most capable persons in present situation. He is a courageous WT. He is having leadership qualities as well. However, we will have to remain always vigil. Nobody is 100% perfect except Baba. Anybody can commit mistakes since we are human beings. It is a continuous process and we should be alert enough to protest injustices in future as well.In HimDevesh kumar
