I suppose it is the only time senior BKs get a holiday, going to Madhuban for a funeral paid for by donations. Canny juniors might and have jumped on an airplane as well for extra bonding sessions to bring them closer to the Golden Ages royalty. They be a lot of extra bhattis, tolis, special dhristi, sentiment classes flying. May be a one off show of trance mediumship or rumours of a special visit by BapDada.
So was Prakashmani only an 83 lifer then?
When the last big number died they did extra Yoga "to purify the womb" she would take rebirth in. I am not sure where that comes from. Nor would it have been a virgin birth and so I hope some young girl enjoyed her night of carnal pleasure with her lover. A good job the world is not celibate yet.
Can the thoughts of others changes one's karmic experience or are the thoughts of others one's karmic rewards and karmic accounts?
Religion, and the religious, prevade the traumatic parts of our lives asserting its position and power over us. Funerals are shows of power, and invited attendance empowering in the eyes of others for those on the guest list. In the BK circle they have an additional value of asserting that this is your family whilst your lokiks are not; here you express your sentiments, there you do not. Here there is benefit in ritual. There, there is not. The rules do not apply within our circle, only without.
I always find this stuff hard to square with the Murli and even the likes of Dadi Janki's classes; "do not remember anyone ..." etc. "do not remember anyone except us", it should read. Are such attachments pure attachments? Golden attachements?
A Dadi is like a Queen in that they are symbolic figures of the whole, of an ideal. What did she really do in her life? Lived off other people's money for all her life. Got up early. Washed a lot. Kept her knickers up. Like a Nepalese Kumari, she played out a symolic role as a princess, raised by the priest to be a symbolic divinity and then buried.
I ask another honest question, what did she really do? Stared lovingly and did not rock the boat or reveal anything to contentious. Played her part and kept mumb about the past. Was rewarded for it. Went along with all that we documented on this forum.
I stand against the tide. Can anyone impress upon me a reason to distracted from thoughts of accountability, duty of care and democratizing access to The Knowledge?
