Please give a short description of your interest in joining this forum.: I am interested in the ongoing debate about the BKs and the knowledge. In 1984 I had a vision of BB as Krishna and Dada Lekhraj. Three years later I joined the BKs in 1987 and left the organisation in 1991. During that time I had many wonderful experiences. One of the reasons I left was to go travelling, see family and friends, have girlfriends (I remember these were were looked down upon). Also I remember being at Mt. Abu one year and recall a sister saying that those who leave the BKs would experience a thousand deaths/agonies. I realised then that I had to leave. In my opinion fear or blackmail is not a good enough reason for staying in any relationship or being part of a group. I do not regret leaving.

To be honest I don't miss that place. I last visited Madhuban with my girlfriend in 1996. I said Hello to Jayanti and Sudhesh. Sudhesh reacted when she saw me by quickly moving off to another part of the complex. Maybe I shone too much light and goodwill that day! Or it could have been my dress - I was wearing a Taliban style topi on my head at the time.

BB's room was always my favourite spot to sit and be. However, as an ex-vegetarian chef, I always found the food at Madhuban pretty dismal - reminded me of school dinners! Don't get me wrong, I love North Indian cuisine. However, I tended to live on fruit, nuts and water when I stayed there.

I found Arunachala in southern India more to my liking. And also the teachings of Ramana Marharshi. To the point and without all the bullsh** and superstitious nonsense that is part of the BKs.

Hi, Hanuman, welcome and thanks for making me laugh with the image of your taliban attire. The BKs have many traits in common with Talibans, so why did not they appreciate your mise? I remember one year I was wearing some baggy Afghani style of pants (white). I thought they were cool, loose and comfortable but in Madhuban I got more negative comments than I ever imagined! Man, what do you expect, you go to the ashram "dressed to kill" with a girlfriend and you expect friendly welcoming drishti and behaviours?

Seniors are leaders in teaching others how to judge people on the basis of appearances. And no, we are not all just souls, equals and God's children: a major divide is the one between compliant ones and disobedient ones, those that receive looks of disdain.

This is interesting. I am curious now to do a google on it. I remember how years ago, some "contact souls" had just come back from the SaiBaba ashram and were very impressed by the delicious food.

I never understood why we BKs were condemned to go to such a tough place in the desert, not really self-sufficient in terms of fruits and vegetables, with a hostile climate, extremes of heat and cold and water shortages, whereas there are locations in India a lot more pleasant in the Himalayas, near the Ocean or rice paddies with swinging palm trees and fresh green coconuts to drink ... where they teach you some exercise good for your health or some craft ... If you could survive Madhuban, especially in the old days, you would be ready to become an excellent fakhir!

p.s. are you available to give suggestions and tips as a professional vegetarian chef?
