The five names as stated were not made up by Beas...
the five names can be found in a popular poem by kabir and vedantist text books ("maha kal" as he is called) and they are basically the name given to the energy forces which govern the different states of conciousness.
Notes on Beas Printed Letters
Beas, Spiritual Letters, 1976, page 133 letter #5 Chachaji to Sawan : 1. The sentence "Initiations may then be given by him and confirmed under your instructions." This sentence is not in the original letter according to Maheswari.
2. This complete paragraph is left off the same letter #5 ; "Instructions have been issued to Lala Tara Chand for sending you Prem Patra 1,2, and 3 per railway parcel. So you will get the books." The books Sawan was studying were written by Rai Salig Ram . The word Radhaswami was edited out of Jaimal's letters several times according to Maheswari and he gives several examples. There appear to be many distortions in Beas printed letters according to Agra which shows no records of some letters being written at all. Beas admits they have many more unprinted letters.
....................................
Spiritual Gems, 1980 page xiv , quote " The society is deeply beholden to Maharaj Charan Singh Ji, for spending a lot of His precious time in selecting excerpts from the very large collection of letters and for permitting us to publish them. Spiritual Letters and Spiritual Gems were printed seperately."
...............
Beas also deleted an incident from a letter where Bibi Rukko clubed another woman and was chastised for her behavior. Bibi Rukko was a disciple of Baba Chanda Singh (who was reportedly a Swami Ji initiate) and went to Jaimal upon her master's death.

Beas didn't produce certain Photostats at the time Spiritual Letters was written on key letters, which happened to be favorable to Jaimal. The dates on letters were also irregular, or not shown. Such as the letter from Chachaji to Jaimal regarding the voting for the ten members of the Council, in Beas Parmarthi Patra in Hindi, the date shows as 6th August 1903, in Spiritual Gems, Beas, the letter is dated 4th August, 1902. If the letter was written in 1903, of course it would be bogus. Kirpal corrects date in his book. But it is very clear Maheswari was quite suspicious of Beas letters saying there were no records at Agra of such.
...........
At this point we don't know what Beas letters are genuine, if any. It would require handwriting experts to determine authenticity. The author of this Secret History is assuming some events occured, such as Bhandaras
for Jaimal after his death, etc., but we really have no idea if the printed Beas letters in books are for real. And, if they are, if they would be complelely contradicted by the many unpublished letters.
...........
There are problems with all claimed Beas miracles. Such as Kehr Singh Sasmus in the book
DAWN OF LIGHT, Beas makes a claim about the "radiant" form of Sawan appearing above Kehr's head in 1908.
"No such incident happened, at least as recalled by
Sasmus", according to Dr. David Lane, 01/15/2000, Neuralsurfer Site,#6363 RS Studies Club.

"Immense Powers which the Masters possess"--
Hmm.... Why is it that there is so much hype in
R.S. about these gurus' powers, when, on closer inspection, we find that no such "transmundane"
miracles occur?
I think this very rhetoric ,provided here by Sawan
Singh, about Masters and their Powers is itself
a Con, a Deception.
In any case, if such claims were made about engineers we would ask them to PROVE IT.
Now when we hear "But they do not let supernatural powers even approach them, much less accept and use them" [Sawan Singh quote], my gut tells me something quite different:
Hey, I haven't seen supernatural powers in the first place, much less see some Guru demonstrate it.
In fact, I think this whole notion of supernatural powers and that gurus don't display them is itself a cop-out.
They cannot display such powers for a much simpler reason.
THEY DON'T HAVE THEM.
End David Lane quote

In same book Dawn at Light, Beas, "Hazur (Sawan) was well pleased with their (Dr. & Mrs. Brock, of USA) sincerity and sent them Radha Soami Mat Prakash (Salig Ram book) and Discourses on Radha Soami Faith (Sankar Misra book)" . The Brocks were the earliest Sawan disciples in the USA and they received RS books written by the Agra lineage gurus.
