Guidance on the PBK forum
Posted: 19 May 2006
The following is shamelessly borrowed from the defunct xBKChat forum without permission and is the work its of respected Admin who has stopped his work inthis field. For those that don't know the history, PBKs had to be banned from that forum because of their aggressive or insensitive use of the Murli. Please read to avoid history repeating ;
We understand PBKs' attachment to the Murli. However, this is not the place to post lengthy quotes from the Murli. This site is for sharing of personal opinions, experiences etc. It is not completely forbidden to refer to a Murli point but, if you must do so, please do so very briefly (meaning one or two lines).
Sometime ago, a member asked a question and was never given an answer. The question was when PBKs refer to "Murli" points, which "Murli" are they referring to? In other words, is it a Murli that was given through the medium of Bramha Baba, Dadi Gulzar or your leader Mr Dixit? It is very important to make that clear. If not, you will lose credibility and readers will be confused.
If you must quote from a "Murli" write at the beginning :
• through medium Dada Lekhraj [ Lekhraj Kirpalani ] or Brahma Baba [ BB ],
• through medium Dadi Gulzar [ DG ] or
• through V Dev Dixit [ Virendra Dev Dixit ]
as the case may be. If not, you risk being seen as dishonest and attempting to mislead. You MUST state this clearly any time you give a brief Murli quote. When you use the words "Revised Murli" or some such term, you may be indicating that it was delivered through Mr Dixit.
Readers however, will not know that, and therefore can be misled. Please make it absolutely clear by stating through whom the Murli was delivered. Stating the date it was delivered would also be good. We are not encouraging you to quote Murlis, but if you do, please follow these guidelines.
Instead of continually pasting Murli points, we suggest you think about sharing some personal experiences. Since you seem unwilling or unable to do so, here are a few possible topics that you can think about:* Why I left the BKs
* Why I joined the PBKs
* Personal experiences with V Dixit
* A day in the life of a PBK
* My stay in Kampil / Faroukabad
* Reflections on the spiritual life
* My experience in Mount Abu
* Observations of places, people and life in India
* Visits to PBK centers in India and abroad
* Challenges in the yogi life
* Conversations with a senior Brother / Sister
