Dada Maheshvarananda,〔Maheshvarananda is the spiritual name (meaning in Sanskrit "one who experiences the bliss of the Supreme") and ''Dada'' (or ''Dada-ji'', when intended with more respect), means ''elder brother'' in several Indian languages.〕 (born May 11, 1953 in the United States) is a yogic monk, activist, writer and the founder of the Prout Research Institute of Venezuela. Since becoming a monk, in the once-outlawed Ananda Marga sect, Dada Maheshvarananda has dedicated his life to traveling and living around the world teaching meditation, yoga and spreading the Progressive Utilization Theory (PROUT). Maheshvarananda's most recent book is titled ''After Capitalism: Economic Democracy in Action'' (2012) and is a follow-up to his first book titled ''After Capitalism: Prout's Vision for a New World'' (2003). Prefaced by Noam Chomsky, it has been translated into 10 languages. He has published over 80 related articles in various international journals and has lectured at more than 60 universities around the world on the subject of Prout. ==Early life== Maheshvarananda was born in 1953 in Philadelphia; he pursued "Peace Studies" for two years at Earlham College and participated in protests against the Vietnam War. He began practicing meditation in 1974, as taught by the Ananda Marga yogic sect, and studying the prolific writings and books of its founder Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. In 1976 he assumed a monastic lifestyle with Ananda Marga and met Sarkar in India 2 years later. This first meeting, he writes "inspired me to become a monk, and to dedicate my life to the service of humanity."〔''ibid''〕 In 1983, Sarkar initiated him into the order of avadhuta, a monk or nun of an order close to the tradition of Shaeva Tantra.
