Dear Joel and Proy,
Omshanti. I agree that violence for self-defence could be acceptable. But PBKs do not go to any of the programmes of BKs with any gross arms or in large groups, but with the weapons of knowledge (in the form of pamphlets) in very small groups (which is negligible when compared to the number of PBKs) and on very rare occasions, like mega-programmes, when the BKs are expected to come in large numbers. So, the use of violence to suppress the PBKs cannot be justified in any manner. Further, the PBKs distribute the pamphlets much outside the venue, unlike the BKs who go into the Hindu temples, churches, etc. to spread their knowledge. Here is a proof from a latest Murli published by the BKs:
"Kabhi mandir may, kabhi shamshan may, kabhi church may ghus jana chaahiye. Poochanaa chaahiye, God Father say tumhara kya sambandh hai?"
"(You) must enter sometimes into a Temple, sometimes into a cremation ground, and sometimes into a Church. You must ask them - what is your relationship with God?" (Revised Sakar Murli dated 24.3.07, published by BKs and narrated by ShivBaba through Brahma Baba and translated by a PBK)
Actually, the translation of 'ghus jana' in English is much more than simply 'entering' but borders on 'intruding' or 'forceful entry'.
When they can go into Hindu temples, Churches, Cremation Grounds to spread Godly knowledge, cannot the PBKs peacefully distribute pamphlets containing Godly message much outside the venue of BK megaprogrammes? We know that God would not get revealed just by distributing pamphlets, but is it not within anybody's democratic right?
Regards,
OGS,
Arjun
Note: In the last Avyakt Vani dated 31.03.07 Avyakt BapDada has asked the BKs to speak from the dias of programmes organized by others (non-BKs) instead of organizing various other programmes including megaprogrammes, which have not had much effect in the last 70 years. Actually, during the days of Brahma Baba, giving Godly message through the programmes organized by non-BKs was the norm, instead of wasting precious Yagya money on advertisements. But when their donation-boxes became full due to seeking of money (even from non-BKs) against the Shrimat, they started organizing huge public programmes.
