Namaskar, The only point I want to emphasize from my initial letter on this topic is that PP Dada was neither a bad man nor an arrogant man. It was only due to his extreme simplicity and naiveté that he got convinced to act as though he was Parama Purusa. Sarvatmananda Dada and others selfishly convinced PP Dada again and again that it is in the best interests for the mission to behave like the Guru. Of course those group leaders wanted PP to be looked upon as the ultimate authority so that they could cash in on that power by manipulating him. But PP was unaware about all that. He just got duped into thinking that was what he should do: Behave like Guru. Then, in his innocence, PP Dada accepted the role, and then gradually became accustomed to it. But the whole idea of behaving that way was not born in PP Dada's mind. He was neither that arrogant nor that crafty. Certain group leaders led PP Dada to believe that this was the only way to lead the organisation: To behave like Guru. For that reason PP Dada started doing all those things like: (1) PP stopped raising the Jai slogan, rather he thought all margiis were raising the Jai slogan for him. (2) PP stopped properly participating in dharmacakra and instead would sit on his own seat etc. (3) PP stopped singing Prabhat Samgiita; rather he would listen as if the margiis were singing for him. (4) PP stopped signing kiirtan entirely, instead he thought all were singing his glory. (5) PP stopped communicating with margiis and Dadas in a brotherly way. Instead he sat in his own palace / room 24hrs, as if he was some Himilayan Guru. (6) PP stopped eating, drinking, and talking with acaryas and margiis. (7) PP began writing and publishing his own silly songs as if they were divine compositions. So here again, the entire point is that on his own PP had no such intention to pretend that he was God incarnate, or the like. Due to negative outside influence, he fell into that unfortunate role. And that led to the ruination of his career. Thank you for reading this addendum. Namaskar, Manindra
