Probably in exactly the same way as reading a fairy story does to a child.
Have you had children yet? They find comfort and enjoy hearing their parents read the same, familiar fairy story to them over and over again ... or reading it themselves once they can. It's just the comfort of the familiar and escapism from things which cause distress, or stressful challenges.
In fact, most adults are just the same. Humans have a tendency to like the familiar. Someone who likes smoking ganga or looking pornography would say the same thing.
Scientifically, does that prove anything?
But the real question is, so what if it does ... where does it lead to?
Does it make India a better place ... does it feed the 3,000 children who die of hunger every day ... does it educate the 25% of women (or 38% of female Dalits) or 287 million or illiterate adults ... does it stop de-forestation ... etc etc etc.
You get the idea ...
Really honestly, how important are you and your feelings in the bigger picture? Is the most important thing in your life sitting on your butt doing nothing, as the BKs do, "feeling content"?
These groups, these spirits, exploit that self-centredness.
It works for the BKs because they are taught to believe that the whole world is going to go to hell and burn in the Nuclear War, and all suffering is the victims own fault.
It's not so admirable or importance for the rest of us. Perhaps you should be reading things that develop your mind, understanding and skills.
BKism is just an opiate.
