In some traditional schools of Hinduism, there is the idea that one lives for 84,000 lifetimes - as different species - before one becomes a human being; and only once someone becomes a human being can they have the chance of spiritual liberation or "moksha".
My guess is that it came from there only Lekhraj Kirpalani was so fixated at being the incarnation of Krishna, Krishna last came 5,000 years, that 84,000 lives appear too long ... so he just chopped the *,000 off. He was pure, god and therefore right; Hinduism was impure and wrong. Why? Because he said so. How? Because he was God Prajapati Brahma.
What we know for sure was that there was no God Shiva in the Om Mandli until after 1955 telling them what to do. It's a number. Any number will do. Just don't think and don't question ... if it all goes wrong, "it was just Baba testing our faith in him (by making plain and simple errors and mistakes)".
It's said the Hindu religious goal of moksha or liberation is not salvation and does not require forgiveness or even charity but instead focuses on detachment from this material world. That's something else the BKs borrowed strongly and, until it become serious bad PR for them, were utterly against charity as binding one to the wheel of existence and wasting the opportunity to give money and free labor to them.
