These incidents took place in Madhubhan though not serious in the sense that the girls managed to get away from the person showing interest in them. And who did make a pass at them. They were about 7-8 years old at the time and i believe that it was reported. This was early eighties. If the girls ha...

some mad buggers wall

What I can discern is that the organisation has lost its way in a number of manners, the most obvious is the duty of care to its members. I often feel that I am walking over the bones of so many good people who with the best intentions gave earnestly to the service of bringing about world change thr...

You're all sounding a bit crazy to me :lol:. I've been around BKs for 20 years and never really heard of the PBKs.

Now it is all getting to sound murkier and murkier. More confusion :roll:.

Is it enough to say be pure without actually giving guidance as how to accomplish that. Just do not do it [sex] is not going to cut it for me. I value purity [which is not just celibacy] but not at the price of mental health and well being. There are better people than me in terms of dharna 'love fo...

People, I have witnessed the awful side effects in others and myself when it comes to unguided celibacy in the men and women of the BKs. Correct me if I am wrong though, it is my understanding that in India there are inbuilt supports for people taking up this vow? Whether it be through exersice to r...

Yes, but who have you meet that comes anywhere close to that objective? And how many people have you meet that went almost mental trying? I would agree that it means different things to different people, though is that tolerated? If someone was perfect at over eating, is that OK because it is someth...

Yes, taking risks has always been important to me. Without risks we risk being a slave to blandness and conformity. I would rather be happy and content in having fullfilled desires instead of becoming sad and misreable about what could have been. I now value purity more than ever, though its not as ...

I ALWAYS HATED THE WORD PERFECTION. AN UNATAINABLE FRUITLESS OBJECTIVE.

Why spend a life time attaining perfection to have it only for a split second? How long can one be perfect? There is now where to go because your already there 8).

I was 18 when joining embraced celibacy though I soon learnt what I had taken on. It can, under the guidance of mature spiritual teachers, be of benifit. Though to just say, "do not do it" is not good enough. I love women and have accepted the normal biological functions of my body. What b...
