On page 49 of the book “Dhani Dharmdas Jeevan Darshan evam Vansh Parichay”, it is written:
After the thirteenth Mahant Dayanam, there was turmoil in the Kabir Panth. The cycle of Kaal (Time/Kaal Brahm) began, as there was no biological son in this tradition. To maintain the arrangement temporarily, Mahant Kashidas Ji was given the ceremonial cloth (chadar).
Some time later, Kashidas declared himself the Acharya of Kabir Panth and established a separate seat (gaddi) in Kharsiya. Seeing this, the three mothers began to weep, saying that the cycle of Kaal had started.
Later, for the sake of the Kabir Panth, the eldest mother Sahib handed over the gaddi to a two-and-a-half-year-old child named Chaturbhuj Sahib, who became known as “Granthmuni Naam Sahib.”
Think about it: What name or spiritual knowledge can a 2.5-year-old child give? The mother seated him on the gaddi, and the son became a Mahant—even though he did not know the ABCs of devotion.
The descendants of Sant Dharmdas Ji have been misleading innocent devotees with folk tales (loka-veda). Mahant Kashidas Ji started a fake Kabir Panthi gaddi in Kharsiya. From that very Kharsiya, a certain Uditnaam Sahib started a self-willed gaddi at Lahartara Pond in Kashi (Varanasi).
In Kabir Chaura, Kashi, Shri Gangasharan Shastri Ji is also separately seated on a Mahant post. But none of them have any knowledge of tatv gyan (true spiritual knowledge) or true devotion.
From the above account, dear devotee readers, you can decide for yourselves—do the Mahants of Damakheda have true devotion, or is it all a show?
After Shri Chudamani Ji departed to Kudarmal, Bandhavgarh was completely destroyed. This fact still stands as evidence today.
Question: The Damakheda Gaddi Mahants claim that Kabir Ji had said: “As long as the gaddi of your 42 generations continues, I will not come to Earth again, i.e., I will not give the order of Naam initiation to anyone else.”
Answer: That is a fabricated story. In Kabir Sagar, in the chapter Kabir Bani on pages 136–137, Kabir Ji mentions twelve panths while delivering His spiritual speech, which are as follows:
