The saga rolls on. Be warned, the speed of the India legal system is such that this may take decades. I note that the women forcibly taken from the PBK ashrams against their will are now being subjected to investigation by the AIIMS and IHBAS, to inspect the conditions at the ashrams and to ascertai...

If the BKs' Baba is "The Lord of the Poor", how much "missionary work" do they do, how many centres have they established in poor parts of the USA? In our download section, we have a couple of denied immigration applications where Hansa Raval was attempting to get a US visa for a...

One pattern I see happening in Western society a lot, is how fringe element, the bohemia front, impoverished immigrants "open up" and establish new territories and turn them into vibrant quarters ... at which point the real estate agents turn up (realtors), polish up the PR, capitalise the...

The BK monolith ignores Western dissidents because they are a minority of the minority. For me, the utter denial of the historical correction at the so called "highest" levels is 'off the scale' evidence of their lack of enlightenment. Their lack of commonsense and arrogance even. It is b...

Pink, when there is the recruiting of souls from the bottom of the barrel ... My concern would not be so much about "the recruiting of souls from the bottom of the barrel" but the promotion of them into unchallengeable position of authority! I suppose, in a way, BK Indo-centrism was part ...

One BK finds a non-BK girl who was suffering from depression. He helped her to overcome it by giving her the courses being taught in the BKs ... You know, because, that's a really funny joke ... but the real joke, I am absolutely sure it is a true story too. They would not be the first couple who b...

I wonder if "God" stops coming in person, will it allow the BKs to admit it wasn't really God and to transform into a normal religion with an unseen "God up there". To come to a point where they only claim that Lekhraj Kirpalani was a "inspired" individual? It would eat...

... on life support and hasn’t opened her eyes for a long time. Oh, I can imagine they'll be trying to keep her alive for a long as they can in order to make up some story to explain away what is happen ... and to fit in with all the VIP conference scheduling. They must be organising her funeral al...

Reading down the article on ' The Biology of Attraction ' - and, remember, we are dealing here with evolutionary impulses millions of years old that have shaped human evolution (evolution the BKs deny happened) - we get to "The Four-Year Itch" section and the examination of the nature of d...

Personally, I have concluded that the core of BKism is some kind of extensive 'folie à plusieurs' - literally, "a madness of many" - a shared delusionary condition in which symptoms of a delusional belief are passed down or projected from a dominant figure or figures to others ( in the fir...

When I first came into Gyan, I was impressed with the BK claim in which they contended that they do not observe any ritual; rituals are a form of Bhakti. And it has become even more loaded with rituals since then. Something some leading BKs have been quoted as saying, Charlie in Australia being one...

Therefore ... That moves me even further towards considering that BKism is not about "knowing", or even "believing", but rather just unquestionably accepting and conforming to an institutionalised version of their - the leadership and Lekhraj Kirpalani's - mania of the 1940s. His...

What sort of ego do you require ... ... how mental ill do you need to be ... to believe that you yourself are the epicentre of the world and responsible for all of that? And what mechanism exists for it to happen ... eg to "manifest" something like the Manhattan Project from 8,000 miles a...

When Einstein fled Nazi Germany and came to the United States, he wrote a letter to Roosevelt alerting him to the development of an atomic bomb by the Nazis. The Manhattan Project was the United States response to the weaponizing of the atom by Nazi German ... As an aside, I wonder if that is reall...

I would not want to be ungallant towards any young woman, but don't "Miss" anything pagent competitions sit uncomfortably with the Western BKs' "feminist" claim? Of course, life is not so easy and kind for physically unattractive non-Western BKs. Spend 25 years of your life worki...
