Good work. Ties in with puravan's "blunders" equation. They are sloppy as hell with details which should open up any half-operating brain that things are not quite right.
Thank you for your honest comments, *pit. I am not an expert but I would like to raise the issue of "sexual energies", or even just "libido" as others call it elsewhere.
BKWSU wrote:... a divine messenger of love and peace descended upon the holy land of India, in 1919. Her favorite song was: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star ...”, to the tune of which, she danced a perfect sequence. She was fond of wearing English Dresses, a plump body, fair complexion ... Dada took the stand that whatever the Supreme Soul directed, he uttered and did; nothing of his own. That was in 1936, when Radhe was just 17.
According to the book, "Is This Justice?" authored by (or for) Om Radhe, Radhi Pokardas Rajwani was 22 in 1938 ... not 17/18. That would make her date of birth, 1916. One would have thought she knew her own date of birth at the age of 22.
Frankly, I wonder if Om Radhe was like some of the stuck up and slightly spoilt, overweight Indian girls that have grown up in the BKWSU under the wing of bossy, overweight mothers ... you probably remember. This "twinkle, twinkle little star" comes from one of the other hagiographies, extolled as if it was some miraculous premonition ... "As sign .. a sign!" to quote Monty Pythons.

Or husband, high ranking BKWSU (UK) advisor and journalist Neville Hodgkinson, was managing that version.
BKWSU wrote:He used to explain the relationship of physical body, the soul and the Supreme Soul in such a simple, easy and forceful manner that it got permanently embedded in the mind and heart of the listeners ... Gradually it became clear to the followers of this divine path that Incorporeal God Shiva was disseminating the esoteric knowledge through the corporeal medium of Dada Lekhraj. With the passage of time, Incorporeal God Shiva and renamed him Prajapita Brahma.
There was no God Shiva or Supreme Soul until after 1950and he was known as
Prajapati God Brahma ... what are they fabricating?
Radhey and her family had to shift to her maternal house at Hyderabad (Sindh), when she was barely fourteen ... When Dada saw a new girl in the Gita Satsang, on the very first day, he obtained her introduction out of curiosity. Dada instantly realised that she was the very Radhe who had to become the torchbearer of the Gyan Yagya. Dada began to administer special dosage of Gyan upon Radhe ... The attendance in Gita Satsang progressively increased. The spell of Radhe had clicked.
14, puberty, is a hell of a bad time to lose one's Father, home, change education etc through traumatic circumstances. That, by the revised date of birth above would make it 1930 ... two years before the Om Mandli satsangs started. We have no idea when the spooky channeling stuff actually started; 1932 or 1936/7 ... we need more details.
Around the same time, Lekhraj Kirpalani had been going through his own trauma. After having married off his teenage daugher, aged 15 to a 50 year old man. Can someone help me here, this was Palu and she was married into the Muhki Mangharam's family. What would a psychotherapist make of all that.
Dada proclaimed: “Children, you have to go to heaven, the capital of Sri Krishna and hence you have to lead a life of purity (Chastity). That stirred up a hornet’s nest among married women, whose husbands vehemently protested against such a distress, leading to frequent quarrels in their house. There were protests, opposition, picketing and coercive encirclement etc. Dada in such critical and trying circumstances, used to depute Om Radhe to convince people and to pacify their frayed tempers.
Om Radhe and his advocate lawyers ... the "hornet's nest brew up over Lekhraj Kirpalani taking back his daughter, a tabood to the monogamous Sindis and marrying off his second daughter in a sham marriage without the Panchyat's involvement agreement. Not that I agree with that as wrong ... but facts are facts.
Dada told his daughter to consider Om Radhe as her Mom, because she was looking after her as a mother does.
No comment. Where is his wife and her real mother!?!
When Dada returned from Kashmir, he felt elated at the incredible success and popularity of the Satsang. Gopi saw in him the vision of Sri Krishna and in Om Radhe the vision of Sri Anuradha.
Sri Anuradha is the 'goddess of good luck' or Adrusta Devatha. That is a new one for me, but not of much importance ... bar the fact that it could have been some spirit entity overshadowing her.
Such is the legend of Mama, in short, very-very short, as her mystic contribution in a life span of 46 years would fill the pages of volumes after volumes. She left her mortal coil on 24th June 1965, now celebrated as Mama’s sweet Remembrance Day.
Again, that would make her 49, not 46. Do such details matter? Yes. I will explain why later. Mostly because it evidences the BKWSU leaderships tendency to exaggerate and falsify ... badly.
Thus, the mission of Brahma Kumaris grew in acceptance, recognition, strength, success and popularity Mama came to be known as Yagya Mata Jagdamba Saraswati.
From the sources we have, it went from 500 in the early 1930s, to around 300 around the move to Abu in 1950 to reportedly 70 or 80 at the end of The Beggary ... and there was another number of 150-odd people around September 1969. hardly "growing" during her lifetime.
