What Mount Abu locals think about the BKs & SML history
Posted: 07 Dec 2011
An interesting background story into how the Self Management Leadership course started from direct BK service into a corporate product having considerable impact even into national politics and international companies.
As far as I can see, Brian is called "Brother Graham", Jayanti Kripalani is "Sister Daisy", Ken O'Donnel is "Ray". I am not sure who the male follower in Mount Abu is.
It also gives a rare impression into what Mount Abu locals think of the BKWSU ... no one except those making money off the BKs have anything positive to say, most are negative. Most see the BKs are a money making venture. The paper, although flattering and, to some degrees deluded over the early history and the godliness of it all, clearly portrays BKs as a power seeking organization.

I find it amusing how despite all of them know about us no one ever tells us about these things being done, or tell those studying the BKWSU about us (or the PBKs etc).
