My churning about the 'soul' and 'spirit';
  • 'Soul' is an English word used by different people for different meanings. BKs have added their own confusion to it.

    'Spirit' is the liquid you need when you want to come out of this confusion.

Yeah, but the indians also created the Kama Sutra. ... and the Khajuraho, and the Koka-Shastra, and the Ananga-Raaga, and the Gita Govinda ... Why, Gita Govinda is even recited every day in the orthodox Krishna temple of Udupi. It is some of the most erotic and most beautiful poetry I have ever read.

For me, impartiality is demonstrated by what you actually do - your actions. It is not about intention at all. I entirely agree with sweetchill. That's why you can come to this board and say that BK is a genuine organization. No one will remove your post. That's why I cannot go to official BK board...

Re: Accurate History of the terms Shiva called himself

We are told that in the beginning the soul said after it possessed Lekhraj Kirpalani, "Shivoham, Shivoham ... etc.". The BKs translate that as "I am Shiva", I am not entirely sure that is the accurate translation. Yes. It is an accurate translation. As per the advaita doctrine o...

Re: Shiva mind games

So, are you saying it is all the work of Dada Lekhraj? I am not too clear as to what you are trying to say? What is the doubt here? Dada Lekhraj made it up all. At best, he himself was deluded into thinking that he was a channel of God. At worst, he was a con man who duped others into believing tha...

Neither Shiva plays games, nor Brahma got it wrong.

It would have been treated simply as an estimation error if only Mr. Lekhraj Kripalani did not have the delusions of acting as a channel of God.

But what is the difference between knowledge and supposition. One you know for sure, the other we are not certain in. We are used to believe in many different things and accept them as knowledge, for eg, what the sicentist say about the atom for example. Have you seen an atom? Is there any logical ...

Getting a grant does not mean anything -- positive or negative.

As long as you claim that you are not a religious but cultural organization and have sympathizers in the higher echelons of bureaucracy, you are in the game. BK wins on both.

4 stages - of the moon, seasons, human life, the day. If you take 12 than 6 it is more likely thet the digit would fit for explanation. 4 stages of the moon? Really? Kindly enlighten me. As far as the seasons are concerned, in India you will find three seasons, in tropical 6 will be more accurate. ...

You should convince others that you yourself is ShivBaba, not that He speaks through you. He himself comes and speaks. We can belive if the knowledge is true. And what methodology do you use to decide if the knowledge is true? It is true because it is coming from ShivBaba; it is coming from ShivBab...

Well, from my own experience with BK, I will be more apt to side with the BK story in this case. Kidnapping someone and then forcing her to become a BK is not their cup of tea. BKs have lot of hanky panky goings on but kidnapping is far fetched. House arrest is however quite likely. Seems like this ...
