Sister Bansy wrote:PBKs may be able to answer another related Q to this thread ... where did the term "PBK" come from. The PBK's Uni is AIVV. The "PBK" seems to come from PBKIVV, which used to be BKIVV (hence "BK") but had "P" (Prajapita) added. So is "PBK" also an old term ? PBKs have Murli points related to the renaming of the University to Godly World University. Can PBKs also clarify the naming of the Universities as related to BKIVV, PBKIVV and AIVV. There seems to be a lot of new parties and Universities a few years back.
In addition, many PBKs use such initials in front of their name, like BKs do, but should it be needed since it is not within the letters AIVV ?
Omshanti. The term 'PBK' or Prajapita Brahmakumar/Kumari has been mentioned in the Sakar Murlis published by the BKs. But the BKs preferred to be known only as BKs and not PBKs, because they knew only Brahma, the elder mother (Dada Lekhraj) but not Prajapita (the one who explained the meanings of divine visions to him). But when the Advance Party began in 1976, the members of this family began to be known as PBKs, since they considered themselves to be children of both Brahma (the elder mother) and Prajapita (Baba Virendra Dev Dixit).
The word 'Prajapita' began to be mentioned in the Murlis/pictures by Shiv through Brahma Baba when Mama started suffering from cancer and had to shift to Bombay for treatment and after her demise, the word 'Prajapita' was used more frequently by Brahma Baba, because ever since Mama fell ill, some children within the Godly family, who possessed the characters/sanskars of heretic religions started troubling ageing Brahma Baba. So Brahma Baba started remembering the Prajapita (his business partner Sevakram) through whom he had received the clarifications of his divine visions and who had warned against encouraging the above mentioned children in the Yagya, who possessed bad sanskars. But due to his nature of motherly love and affection, Brahma Baba continued to encourage such children and suffered the results of disobeying Prajapita, when Mama fell sick. So, in the remembrance of that Prajapita, he started laying stress on the word 'Prajapita' in the Murlis.
As regards the Murli points related to the naming of BKIVV or PBKIVV or AIVV I would come back with the points as and when I get them.
It is not necessary that the abbreviation PBK should be part of the spiritual family's name AIVV. Because Baba has directed us in the Murlis (published by BKs) to add the initials PBK before our names, the PBKs do so.
