Hi everybody! Sorry for my absence, but sometimes one wants to be away from any BK related thing, including the Forum! Sometimes I just want to take the switch completely off from those vampires, detox and recover!!
I would really like to know if these SS ever expressed some dispositions and last wills before leaving the body. According to what they learned and taught for decades as yoginis, it would make sense and be consistent that their desire would be for simple funerals rather than mausoleums and worship that distracts people from having Yoga with the One. As far as Dadi Kumarka's subtle service, in my case I get the touching for having a green light not to give in to any worship of her!
As far as the request for Yoga from souls, I think that what the big bosses who circulate and issue such requests, mean that all BKs have to bow down and worship, which is very different from respecting the elder or wishing the ill ones well.
BKs are pulled away from their own relatives and taught to despise and avoid them (bad influence), although somewhere it is written that "charity begins at home", but a lot of expenditure, respect and attention should go to the BK gurus instead (our real, because spiritual, mothers!!).
Demanding, and usually obtaining such form of obedience, is a very odious way of twisting disciples' arms, because although Bhakti is against the very teachings of Raja Yoga, the board of Godfathers, can formulate requests such as the mafia offers that "you cannot refuse ". Otherwise you are dead, in the organization. As we know, a BK that fails to join ceremonies such as lining up to get drishti from DJ, saying welcome or good bye when she travels, is a bad boy not to be trusted who will have to go lengths to get the black sheep label off him!
Thanks Arjun for reminding us of that beautiful point about watering the seed so that the whole tree gets sated and healthy!! No particularism!! And another thought, if we are supposed to conquer attachment in general towards people, animals, belongings, our body, our past and personality, complying with the ordinance of remembering and worshipping a deceased SS, will reinforce the sanskar of attachment. Or not?
