Your sharing of having
read a mention somewhere online that the BKs regard him as the incarnation of Ganesh, the scribe?
got me to thinking (slightly laterally maybe) that for all the proliferation of the late Jagdish Chanter authored publications one may encounter as a student with the BKWSU, there is NOT any personality cult associated with Bro Jagdish! Why?
I can say with some certainty that in my BK environment BK Jagdish's work is held in high regard by "serious" (and more often than not longer serving) students, as against the masses or any efforts to promote him by the BKWSU senior Sisters. For the first time in my life I wonder why? Elsewhere we will see on this site discussions about the cult of personality within the BKWSU. Yes, this does happen, but it seems to draw itself to certain BKs only. Is this on merit or by design or by desire of some influential BKs? Or self-interested BKs who feel that there will be some personal kudos to be gained by being seen to 'big-up' one senior or another? You refer to the Trimurti Dadis phenomena.
For the regular posters on this site, I wonder if milanmagan's question can be explored further as an offshoot of the "Are you an ex-BK bro or Sister" Poll? I made some musings over there about the male/female balance regarding phenomena of exiting. Maybe i go over there again and add something of the churnings inspired by milanmagan's question.
Milanmagan, having noted your profile I wish you luck with your studies. I don not have any specific information related to Ganesh?. It can be argued that any BKWSU associated reference to any figure out of Hindu mythologhy will NOT have the traditional or exact, same connotation as you would encounter in other sort of hinduism.
In the BKWSU, references to characters from the renowned Hindu epics is largely symbolic and intellectually based on an appreciation of the qualities of the particular character. The BKs say that in Bhakti, truth is like a pinch of salt in a sack full of flour.
In my experience the BKWSU SS that could speak knowingly/entertainingly and with spiritual enlightment on Bhakti and much of its symbolism as relates to BKWSU practice of Raja Yoga and veneration of Shiva as God, is Sister Sudesh who is currently based in Germany, I think.
Thanks for dropping by.
