Rudrananda accepted Islamic way
Namaskar,
As Baba guides us, AM is completely against all sorts of religious dogma like idol dogma and tomb dogma etc. But now take a look here at what is going on. H group has imposed the Islamic ritual of tomb dogma everywhere. Verily, the growing concern is that this has turned into an ongoing issue / dogma.

Islamic tomb of Ac Viiravratananda Avt
Just recently, they completed the construction of the Islamic tomb dogma site of Ac Viiravratananda. This effort was led by the notorious Sanjiivananda. But as we know, such tombs are completely against the ethics of dharma for multiple reasons:
(a) Caryacarya rejects tomb dogma.
(b) AM wholly condemns all forms of religious dogma like tomb dogma.
(c) The life of an avadhuta is supposed to be a life of service. To be punished with a tomb for being the first Mullah rector master of XYZ master unit completely undermines the spirit of what it means to be an avadhuta.
(d) Even naive and simple people understand that this is Islamic dogma.
(e) Our Wt cadre will turn this into a race over who can make the biggest tomb in their honour in order to be called a mullah.

For all these reasons and more AMPS is completely against this dogmatic trend of Islamic tomb dogma. Now look at the below:
Here is what the plaque states:
Samadhi Sthal
Ac Viiravratananda Avt
Date of Birth: 01-01-1937
Mahaniirvana: 02-06-2020
First Rector of Ananda Trivenii MU Unit founded the MU on 29-01-1992
Dadas branded as mullahs
And here are a few more tragedies surrounding the construction of this dogmatic tomb. First, Ac Viirvratananda was a simple and honest Wt who was keen to follow Sadguru Baba’s central tenets, and now at the time of death, unbeknownst to him, he has been punished by this dogmatic tomb and called as a mullah. This is complete injustice. Dada ji led a life based on dharmic principles, and now he will be more blamed and labeled as a mullah for this dogmatic tomb that Sanjiivananda has constructed in his name. How sad and ironic.
Furthermore, this tomb was made to blame Dada ji and anoint him as a mullah for being the first rector master and founder of the Ananda Trivenii MU. This sets the precedent that any Wt who starts a school, funds a service project, begins a press, or builds a jagrti will be cursed with a mullah tomb upon their death. This completely undermines their life of service and makes AM look like Islam etc. This is indeed an awful precedent. But sadly this is not an isolated incident. It is part of an ongoing and growing dogma.

Growing list of tombs in AMPS
See here how this dogma of Islamic tomb dogma sprouted from nothing and is now beginning to dot the countryside.
Most notably, Dada Acintananda treated Nigamananda like a mullah and led an effort to construct a tomb in Ananda Nagar for Ac Nigamananda Avt. Indeed, those harmed and tortured by the ruthless dealings and thuggish / hitmen acts of Nigamananda come to the tomb to curse him.
In the same manner, mullah tombs have been constructed for the following Wts as they were treated as mullahs as well:
Ac Arteshananda
Ac Ramananda
Ac Arteshananda
Vishvatmananda
Nirmeghananda
Conclusion
For all these reasons and more AMPS is completely against this dogmatic trend of Islamic tomb dogma.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “I have already said that Ananda Marga is the first movement aimed at liberating spirituality from the unwholesome influences from dogma. Hence you must not in any way encourage dogma. Rather, you should carry on an endless fight against dogma...So human beings have got to be established in human excellence and carry on a ceaseless struggle against dogma.” (1)
