Baba
Tale of petty NY stooge of Rudrananda
Namaskar,
Dhruva (Clark Forden) of NY sector is a compromised soul. From day 1, he always wanted something material from AMPS: money, living, food etc. The role of a family person is to support the organisation financially and materially, but Dhruva always took the opposite approach. He wanted to suck up goodies from the organisation. His basic motto was: "pay me".
Rudrananda quickly spotted this weakness and exploited it to the utmost. Rudrananda ordered his lackeys like SSNY Abhiramananda and SOS Diiptimanananda to give Dhurva whatever he wants: prestige, social status, money, housing etc. “Just fulfil Dhruva's every material wish and he will be ours;” this was the order Rudrananda gave.
And for these silly, petty gains, Dhurva has fully committed himself to so-called Rudrananda and his selfish agenda, even though Rudrananda's every move is aimed towards undermining and tearing down Sadguru Baba's teachings and organisational structure.
It is a sad tale. Others should be wise not to suffer a similar plight. Please read below to get the backstory of how this happened.

Rudrananda was banned by Baba
#1: It was well known to all that in the post-Emergency period and throughout the 1980's and up to 1990, Sadguru Baba strictly forbade the traitor Rudrananda from attending any reporting sessions or DMC. The devious and conniving Rudrananda could always be seen hanging around the outskirts of the venues trying to make himself seem important.
#2: Sarvatmananda ruled the roost in the early and mid-1990s until he was outdueled by Rudrananda. Indeed, even the cunning Sarvatmananda fell prey to Rudrananda's deceitful lullabies of loyalty etc.
#3: Seeing thus, Dhruva became fully enamoured as he understood Rudrananda would satisfy his wish for prestige and money. Hence, ever since, he has been in lockstep with Rudrananda through every court case, land sale, BP election, posting transfer, fundraising event, and family acaryaship etc. Wherever and whenever, Rudrananda wanted to use NY sector as his cash cow etc, Dhruva was always ready to respond to the call.

Moral of the story
So this is the tale of what happens when someone utterly fails to link themselves with Sadguru Baba and the lofty ideals of dharma and instead opts to pursue fleeting materialistic allurements. In that case, Baba is not their Ista, as they chose to lay prostrate at the feet of the corrupt Rudrananda for the sake of material gains.
Now, with the online NY DMS a mere month away (more info below), sadhakas should fortify themselves and not become a stooge in even the slightest manner. Remember, your oaths are to Sadguru Baba Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji and the propagation of His divine teachings, not any gross group agenda led by the corrupt Rudrananda.
Proof: "Rudrananda is my everything"
Regarding the NY retreat in August, a good news session was conducted on the morning of Friday August 14th where they announced various projects and other successes in the sector. And then when Rudrananda made his online appearance on Saturday August 15th, then those in-charges like Abhiramananda quickly scrambled to do something to impress Rudrananda. So Abhiramanana gave the order that all the topics from the good news session from the prior day should be read again - each and every point. So they wasted everyone's precious time and altered the retreat schedule just so that Abhiramananda could please his boss Rudrananda by essentially showing him: "Look boss, whatever you have told me to do I am doing. I do not use my own brain; just I follow what you tell me, according to your wish. You are my everything and I will do everything in my power to abide by your command." Such is the mentality of Rudrananda's stooges like Abhiramananda.
As Rudrananda's team has started promoting their online DMS in NY sector next month (Nov 6 - 8), there are a few things to note from the August 2020 NY retreat. First and foremost, this is the profile of how one margii Dhruva, for the sake of money and prestige, blindly supports corrupt-in-charges and has veritably turned his back on dharma.

The famed stooge of NY sector
On Saturday, 15 Aug during that same NY sector retreat, the deceitful Rudrananda held class and immediately the chief stooge Dhruva (Clark Forden) of NY sector stood up akin to a "guard of honour" and began delivering a high-sounding eulogy saying things like - "I wish to welcome our senior most purodha Ac Rudrananda Avt who has graciously come before us and offers his invaluable time to share with us etc".
Seeing this overt display of bootlicking by Dhruva, all the other attendees were jaw-dropped, embarrassed, and nauseated - and as word of this spectacle spread, people wondered how Dhruva could behave in this way. After all, It was well known to everyone that in the post-Emergency period and throughout the 1980's and up to 1990, Sadguru Baba strictly forbade the traitor Rudrananda from attending any reporting sessions or DMC. So then how could Dhruva sink to such a level and glorify Rudrananda. And the answer to this is what has been described.

Ananda Marga ideology states, "Iśt́a means the object who loves you the most. Because of this Iśt́a there is flow in your incantative form or incantative structure. Only under such circumstances can your existential emanation maintain a parallelism with your entitative structure. So, Iśt́a is a must for movement, Iśt́a is a must for all sorts of living beings in all strata of life. You can not do anything concrete in even a single arena of your life without the help of your Iśt́a. So wherever there is Dharma, there must be Iśt́a. And Iśt́a is the primordial necessity for yoga. Nobody can exist without Iśt́a. The aspirant is a finite entity, but the Iśt́a of that aspirant is an infinite entity. If you practice yoga, then your finite existence will come in contact with that infinite Iśt́a and you will acquire infinity, you will acquire the infinite spiritual stamina and you will become victorious in all the arenas of your existence. So the wise people, the true yogiis should realize it clearly and definitely that their entitative existence along with the entitative force of their Iśt́a, moves towards the Supreme goal." (1)

Purport:
O’ my Parama Purusa, please come in my mind, in all my thoughts - always. Be in my sadhana, dhyana, kiirtan, and bhajan, and in all sorts of my ideations. Kindly remain ever-present. I go on searching You in all my works; by this way, You may be attained.
O’ Parama Purusa, I want only You. I desire You in broad daylight so I can fight with the darkness. Then I won’t become fearful of the demonic forces. Baba, remove all the negativities of my mental domain and fill it with Your spiritual nectar. Please eradicate my mundane desires and saturate my psychic realm with cosmic bliss.
O’ Parama Purusa, I am constantly asking You to fulfill one request after another. I never care to think what I should offer You. Just I am a beggar before You - always asking You for more and more. Indeed I kept extending my hand, again and again, to get various mundane boons from You. Now please wipe away this pitiful tendency and make me free from this poverty. Baba, I request You to give me that which can satiate all my hunger forever...
