I like the Tao Te Ching, and stories and sayings of many of the Sufi masters, like Nasrudin. Especially the funny stories. One saying I remember is, "Trust in God, but tie your camel down". It means, you can believe in whatever you like ... but don't forget to do all the practical things i...

I see from her website that she actually has a Masters and PhD in law, so she cannot be "stupid" ... but then many of those who are trapped by the BKs - or rather use BKism to trap themselves - are not (noting the risk of an inherent Dunning–Kruger effect within that). It seems like she's ...

The Aryans were the people who lived in the first half cycle. They were divine and not capable of being influenced by the vices.

What I find interesting in all these reports of the BKs in court cases is a) how hypocritically strident they are, that is to say, while they encourage their followers and outsiders to accept bad things happening to them as "their karma", when "their karma" happens to them and th...

I am guessing it's also to make they remember her when she finally dies too. A quid pro quo status maintaining.

Otherwise, everyone will have have forgotten she existed.

I see they made her the new official chief since Janki died. How do they communicate with her, via trance messenger?

What does your mother think about all this, Arcane? Is she basically just broken by it, and them? Is she basically just being used as a free housekeeper by him? Did she hope and believe that he'd come back to her and the family for a while? There are very serious issues arising. Males tend to die be...

... the BK office nearby has assigned himself to be a “dharmaraj atma”. He is creating a lot of troubles in the family, including a vexed “clinical depression” in my poor mother. She has been taking medicines for the last 15 years and she does not seem to be improving. What is a "dharmaraj atm...

Well, we all know the pressure that BK HQ puts on local centres to bring in the cash; and we know the example Dadi Janki, who very often put on that pressure, set for bringing it cash; and we all know the position of women in Indian society, especially those without husband, family and any professio...
