== SHOULD WE OVERLOOK THIS NASTY SITUATION == ~ ANOTHER MYTH ~

Namaskar, This is in reply to the sincere margii who is defending Nigamananda's conduct and close relation with one Didi by claiming that those with black hair have sexual restraint. 1. To justify his point, the sincere margii states that Dada Shraddhanandji had black hair late in life. But, all should know that the late Shraddhanandji lived as a family person for many years and fathered several children. This itself shows that just because one has black hair in later age does not mean that they exercised full control over their sexual actions. Plus there are countless aged actors in Bollywood and Hollywood who have thick, black hair yet throughout their lives they engaged in so much hanky-panky. So the illusion that black hair in late age means celibacy is just a myth - nothing more. It is unfortunate that the sincere margii got misguided on this point. 2. Secondly, Baba never said that those with black hair need not follow conduct rules. And several of His rules for Wts mandate that avadhutas must not spend time alone with the opposite sex. Yet that is exactly what Dada Nigamananda is doing as he passes so much time with one Didi - they are together almost 12 hours daily, on a regular basis. Should we overlook this discretion because Dadaji has black hair. 3. Finally, we all know that the life of any revered wt is to set forth a proper example. That is one of the great aspects of acarya life. Yet, by skipping Baba's conduct rules and spending all his time with a younger Didi, Nigamanandji's actions are a poor representation of Baba's teachings. But because of his seniority and post, various junior workers have begun doing this same type of dealing. They think, "If Dadaji can have a Didi friend, then so can I find a Didi for myself - what's the harm." Thus his poor behaviour is having terrible domino effect on our entire Wt cadre. Thus in no way, shape or form can we accept any justifications about Nigamananda's poor dealing. Unfortunately, the sincere margii got misguided by someone and ended up writing his letter (see below). Namaskar, Satiish > Namaskar.
