Once again Swadhyay parivar is in news, not for any achievement but for a murder. It is a rule of nature that once a given religious sect gets stronger, the decay starts. Hindu relition is full of sects started by someone who finds imprefection in the way it is being preached or practised. So he takes the basic principles and adds few of his own and starts a new Sampraday.
Once the visionary leader is disabled or dies the followers do not have the same capacity. Simply being installed as a leader does not give one a capacity to lead the group. If it was possible to rule the world with sticks and guns then we could get dictators and gundas to run the Sampradays. However, leading the sampraday requires service without expectation and leadership by example. Respect can not be demanded but it is commanded. When we start worshiping a person and not the quality, it is the beginning of the end.
So all that remains is a large group of followres with no direction. These people may even commit crime at the behest of the leaders. And thus startd the downfall of Sampraday.
In organization such as this no dissent is tolerated. If any devotee dares to qustion for the sake of truth he is silenced by hook or crook. Pankaj Trivedi decided to follow the path of seeking the truth and the establishment did not tolerate the dissent.
