Namaskar,
"Diidii Ananda Niitimaya receives all those "supplies", i.e. those donated goods: (winter clothing, blankets, shoes, medicine, silverware / utensils, household items etc). Then she orders her various junior Diidiis to repack them into various bundles. Then they all load everything up onto the train and Diidii herself rides along with all that cargo to her laokik home. She then distributes that booty amongst her entire extended family: close relations plus cousins, cousin-brothers, aunts, nieces, and in-laws. They "gobble-up" all those donations. Those goods were meant for our acaryas and social service projects etc, yet it all gets routed to Diidiiji's ancestral home. This is the way it works. And when various Dadas visit the area, they see all those supplies being used there in the home."
It is remarkable that Diidii Ananda Niitimaya does not even feel the need to hide or conceal what she is doing. These junior workers are aware about what is going on. Ananda Niitimaya is quite blunt about her plans. She has the mind-set of a veritable daredevil. She is like a thief who breaks into a house and then starts singing loudly while stealing everything inside. Such a thief has no fear and wants everyone to know that he has no shame or care. Similarly, Diidiiji absolutely revels in her role. She boldly delights in the idea of diverting hundreds of kilograms of donations to her laokika home. Otherwise, how could she carry on in this way: Flaunting her ways for all to see.
So that is the the inside story about the many donations given to some of the Diidiis. Those donations get diverted to Ananda Niitimaya's laokik home and distributed amongst her extended family. Diidiiji either sends those blankets, woolen garments, and other products to her laokika family, or she sells those things and gives the money to her laokika family members. In either case, it is sheer duplicity and thievery.
Good margiis work hard to earn extra so they can donate to our service projects and contribute to the well-being of sannyasinii Diidiis who work in their field; yet Ananda Niitimaya unabashedly hijacks those donations.
As an acarya, Ananda Niitimaya is supposed to be concerned with the greater society; yet, by her actions, it is shown how she only cares for her own blood relations. In the name of Ananda Marga and serving universal humanity, she collects all kinds of goods and supplies, and then she funnels all those supplies to her worldly relatives. Those whom she is supposed to care about she ignores (i.e. the greater society), and those she is not supposed to have contact with, she cares for their every need and desire (i.e. her laokik family). This is the story of Niiitmaya's worker life.
Namaskar,
Kalyanii Mohanti
THEY ARE DEDICATED MONKS AND NUNS
In case there was any doubt or confusion in anyone's mind, let us remember that our respected wholetimers of Ananda Marga have dedicated themselves to a high ideal - in service to Gurudev and suffering humanity. Their lives are for the welfare of others. So none should think that our workers can be thought of as selfish corporate executives or business employees who reap profits and benefits and use those funds for their selfish ends. In materialistic enterprises, people do like that. That is the common way. But as we know our Ananda Marga is a social service organisation. Our wts are not "on salary" and all donations are to be used for helping those in need. Workers are not to abscond with money & goods designated for service projects. Funneling those resources to their worldly families breaches their sannyasi vow as well as the code of asteya (non-stealing). So we can say it is a double sin: First, our workers are not to be selfishly hoarding wealth and stealing from society; second, our esteemed wt acaryas are not to maintain contact with their laokik family.
Baba says, "No relationship should exist with worldly family." (32 Rules for Avadhutas & Avadhutikas, point #9)
Baba says, "Householders have to care for two families whereas the renunciates have to care for only one. The householders’ two families are their own small family consisting of father, mother, brothers, sisters, husband or wife, sons, daughters, etc. and the larger human family, that is, the entire universe. The householders will have to maintain a balance between both these families...Sannyasins do not have a small family of their own – their family is the entire universe." (A Few Problems Solved - 4, Let History be Rewritten)

Purport:
Baba, O' Effulgent Divine Entity, please grace me by coming in my heart, which is as dark as the black night, and make it effulgent. Please light my lamp and arouse my devotion with Your divine love. Please awaken the humanity which is in deep slumber. Baba, please grace one and all.
Baba, O' Parama Purusa, except You, no one can wipe away this cimmerian darkness [1]. Without You, humanity will not awaken. For the welfare and enlightenment of this entire universe, please come in everyone's dhya'na. Baba, please come in the crudest sphere of everyone's mind and make it divinely effulgent.
Baba, I long for You in my mind which is as dark and dreary as a dungeon. Baba, I have been desperately and ceaselessly searching You since the dawn of my life. Your charming & loving smile is like an ocean of nectar from the divine world. This divine smile will wipe away all the staticity.
Baba, please shower Your causeless grace and remove the cimmerian darkness and fill it with Your divine effulgence...
