Who introduced her to BKism?

She wants to go in February because that is when they believe "God" comes and possesses their spirit medium and speaks through her. It's the big occasion in the BK calendar. The BKs are being pressurised to go under the influence of, "Baba is coming less and less and one day will stop". Their spirit medium is becoming weaker and weaker.
Of course, for the cult, it's a great way for them to reap financial donations. They are encouraged to believe that donating at Mount Abu brings them more benefits.
Not being allowed to go, perhaps not having her own money to not go, must be saddening/frustrating her and building resentment.
It's reading more and more that she hooked as a BK. This "no onions and garlic" thing is a pure BKism. I'd argue that is just a way of dividing BKs from eating and socializing with non-BKs and controlling them. They say it's all about not overstimulating the mind ... apart from the lack of smell, which I can actually agree with, I see no evidence that the collective BK mind is actually that improved by it. It's just more of their "pose" as being high caste Brahmins.
Yes, she wants to take our son to Mt Abu whenever she gets a chance in future. Should I let her?
I think we can be sure that she is already feeding your son BKism and working him to indoctrinate both him into and, probably, against you.
Going to Abu will only encourage and intensify that but for the BKs it's also a way of increasing "soft power" influence ... by that I mean encouraging the idea that the BKs are very good and nice and what wonders they have done with all the money they have pulled in from adherents to create their heaven in the desert mountains.
Do you want to lose your son as well?
Keeps talking in BK language and references Baba and Murli every now and then.
Drip ... drip ... drip ...
I'd really like to encourage you to read over the forum and other people's experiences more and take more seriously the problem you have on your hands here. Often we find that with Indians, people don't take BKism seriously enough as some other kind of religion rather than just being a kind of Hinduism or a "Hinduism Lite" for women to do. It's not. It's very different. It's a high demand, supremacist, cultic End of the World religion.
This is why I would look to protecting your child in the USA first, if your business or career is in the USA.
How much about BK teachings do you know? I would really encourage you to study them to get an overview of what your wife is involved with, and then speak to her about that. They are highly irrational. I am not suggest you go on a course, we have a
teacher training manual, here.
I don't know if you have done so, but once you have a good overview, you could attempt a rational discussion about them and the nature of cultic religions and brainwashing.
This is not likely to have an immediately positive response, it may even provoke a negative ego response, e.g. anger or upset from her, but it might plant some seeds in her mind and re-invigorate her rational thinking processes.
What this experience is going to demand of you is that you become educated about these issues too, e.g. "how cults work".
We can give you an idea about the pre-programmed BK responses so you can deflect them straight away.
Worst case scenario, you can start quoting the Murli back to her to support your point of view. For example, here are Murli quotes relating to the word, "
husband".
