Omshanti. As far as I know the nimit PBK Sisters do not reply to emails (addressed to Baba) themselves. They obtain replies from Baba and type it on His behalf because He is generally continuously on tour. Now a days, instead of signing off as 'Baba' they write 'on behalf of Baba' with some logo and AIVV written beside it, but they definitely obtain answers from Baba before sending a reply. When they reply themselves they generally sign as 'a1shivshaktipandavsena'. But every email/letter which is received from Baba/nimit Sisters is given a specific reference number.
When the secretaries write answers, they already have all these answers to refer to and quote from. However, yes, these answers often seem like quotes from the Murli, not the tailor made revelations and prophesy we may be looking for. You need to specify "for Baba's eyes only".
I don't think they send replies to questions based on the answers to similar questions asked in discussion CDs but obtain the answers afresh. Proof for this can be seen on this forum itself. Brother new knowledge had asked some questions and the replies were received from Baba after many weeks. If the Sisters were authorised to answer on their own or on the basis of Discussion CDs they would have done it much earlier. But they waited until they could obtain answers from Baba and only then did they send the answers.
Of course, in many questions related to Advanced Knowledge it is necessary to give Murli quotes for which the nimit Sisters may be doing research and quoting the exact lines on being given the general description of the Murli point by Baba.
Baba Dixit likes technology. He uses mobile phones a lot. You can ring him up and talk to him yourself (news flash - telephone interview with VD Dixit?). Ask Arjun for his phone number. However you need a Hindi speaker to talk with him directly. Perhaps he could also be invited to become a member of the forum? He could write in Devanagari script as it is a valuable new feature of the site. He's not a hermit, but he get around a lot always on the move touring India.
Baba does use mobile phones a lot, but like me, most PBKs may not have his number. If anyone wants to talk to Him they can send a request to the nimit Sister with your number so that Baba can ring you up whenever it is convenient for him. I get to speak to him very rarely (probably once in many months, that too in case of urgency) because most of my communication with him is through emails.
But I don't think he would become a member of this forum because of lack of knowledge of English or Hindi typing or other reasons.
