Baba
Bogus history of H group
Namaskar,
It is well known that the despotic leaders in any era had history painted in their favour. Their stooges slanted reality in order to fabricate a grand portrayal of their boss. This distortion of history is pervasive throughout the globe, and sadly Rudrananda has dragged this into our AMPS as well.

False history by Rudrananda's stooges
A big plaque was erected at Rudrananda's cherished building called Sadhughat. And on that plaque it states:
"Work accomplished under the guidance and direction of respected Acarya Rudrananda Avaduta jii (the then GTS)"
The above proclamation was put on the plaque by Rudrananda's stooges to glorify Rudrananda in the eyes of future generations. Verily, this plaque distorts history and gives the false impression:
(a) Fake history: Rudrananda is solely responsible for getting the work done.
(b) Fake history: Rudrananda is a great avadhuta and worthy of these appellations: "respected" and "jii".
(c) Fake history: Rudrananda excelled as GTS (general training secretary).
(d) Fake history: Rudrananda was the be-all, end-all of this project.

Here is the reality:
- Fact: The land for Sadhughat (i.e. Ananda Dha'ra') was purchased by Dada Cidananda, not Rudrananda.
- Fact: That land was initially allotted for constructing a healthcare centre until Rudrananda railroaded that project.
- Fact: Most of the money that financed the construction of Sadhughat came from Mantrajapananda's illicit sale of 12 hectares from the Davao master unit in the Philippines.
So the plaque erected at Sadhughat (i.e. Ananda Dha'ra') wholly ignores and even flies in the face of these facts. Rather, the plaque paints a grossly different picture. Anyone who reads the plaque would be led to believe that Rudrananda was the sole and grand benefactor.
"Work accomplished under the guidance and direction of respected Acarya Rudrananda Avaduta jii (the then GTS)"
Must tear down & rewrite this plaque
The plaque erected at Sadhughat bends the historical record and falsely portrays Rudrananda as the great leader who arranged this place. This is completely wrong, and we should not allow it to stand. It is a contravention of AM ideals to let a bogus historical record get passed down from generation to generation in AMPS. Baba guides us to completely rewrite history and not glorify such tyrants.
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "The history written so far is a history of kings and monarchs. It should be thoroughly overhauled and completely rewritten – rewritten in the interest of humanity and the universal well-being of the human race." (1)

Conclusion
Our AMPS should not fall prey to the historical trends of old. The plaque at Sadhughat should be removed at the earliest. There is no other way.
in Him,
Jiivendra
How history is falsely narrated
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "In most cases history is written in the interest of a particular vested interest. History books are selected in order to establish the glory of a particular era. For example, the heroic tales of the chivalry of the Kśatriyas era, their war-strategies, etc., form the main basis for the writing of the history of the Kśatriya era. History books are filled with eulogies of the bravery and chivalry of the Kśatriyan rulers. Similarly, the history of the Vipra era is full of praises for the glorious deeds of the Vipra leaders, and the history of the Vaeshya era contains an abundance of stories about the glories of the Vaeshyas. While studying such biased history, the readers lose both interest and patience. Besides that, the study of this sort of so-called history injects some kind of dogma in the readers mind, and consequently chokes the development of a spontaneous human intellect." (2)

Your causeless grace
I spent my entire life in animal deeds
“Tumi esechile dhya’nete a’ma’r, karun’a’ kare a’ma’ke…” (Prabhat Samgiita #4661)
Purport:
Baba, You came in my dhyána. It was only Your divine karuna’-– compassion on me. I had no strength of bhajans, kiirtana, japa, sadhana, 16 Points, or any virtue of spiritual deeds within me. Only I longed for You with one-pointed desire. Today, You came in my meditation in Your real form. It is only due to Your grand empathy for me.
Parama Purusa, age after age, to hold You, I was busy gathering oysters on the seashore unknowingly. I uselessly spent my entire life in animal deeds, remaining oblivious of You. Sitting there on the sandy shore, I wasted my time in vain pursuits - counting the stars, night after night.
Baba, finally You appeared in my dhya’na in a loving and smiling way. Sitting face to face, looking at me, You said, “Keep in mind this eternal truth. Those bhaktas who have heard the divine flute - the omnkara dhvani - have gotten everything. All the praise, insults, sorrow, loss and gain, and misery, pain, and suffering that happens in this world never burdens their life. Living in this world, their mind remains in the spiritual plane, always ensconced in bliss.”
Baba, You came in my dhya’na, pouring infinite anandam…
Note for Prabhat Samgiita #4661
[1] Karun'a': In the first stanza, the term karuna has been used. This is when one harbours a deep sense of empathy, is pained by another's suffering, and feels, "I should help them.” For example, suppose a beggar is wallowing in misery. By seeing his wretched condition, you felt, "I should help him and remove his agony.” This heartfelt feeling is the expression of karuna'.
Similarly, suppose a bhakta is suffering and unable to progress in the physical, psychic, or spiritual realms for any reason. In such circumstances, Parama Purusa cannot bear to watch that sadhaka suffer. He feels He must rescue them immediately. With His deep empathy and mercy, Parama Purusa removes their agony, so that once again that bhakta can progress in all realms of life. This entire liila is called His karun'a'.
Difference Between Krpa' & Karun'a'
In the case of karun'a', Parama Purusa is moved by a bhakta's suffering and comes forward to save that bhakta. Whereas with krpa' (grace), the bhakta is not suffering but even then Parama Purusa is bestowing His blessing.
It is just like if a beggar is sick and suffering half-naked in the freezing cold. If with great empathy a passerby selflessly helps that beggar without expecting anything in return, that is karuna’. Because the passerby is moved and motivated into action by seeing the beggar's suffering. In contrast, if a student is not sick, and that person just wishes to give the student a gift, then that krpa’.
When out of empathy Parama Purusa lovingly comes to the aid of the suffering bhakta to relieve them of their spiritual strife, that is the karuna of Parama Purusa; and, if that same bhakta is not suffering in the spiritual realm, yet Baba still bestows His blessing to enhance their bhakti, that is His krpa’ on the bhakta.
