Over at the
financial deception page on BKWSUwatch.com, someone has been publishing exposé of leading Brahma Kumari Jaymini Patel, one of the directors with a Brother Steve of Brahma Kumaris Information Services Ltd.

Jaymini of BK publications is transferring huge sums of money into both her own and her Father’s bank accounts. Much of this stolen money is spent on Jaymini going for expensive facials, massages, and even changing into ordinary clothes to ‘go to parties’ whilst leaving her sari at the BK publications warehouse.

Your response clearly justifies that it is OK to steal. Clearly you are an Indian! It is against the law to steal, both human law and divine law.
You state you would love to see some evidence of Jaymini stealing money – ask her for a copy of her Father’s bank account and all will be revealed!
Elsewhere, the internet and the Brahma Kumari grapevine is a twitter about a series of sexual encounters.
Many will argue that this is a private matter and congratulate her. Perhaps this is correct. However, I think there is a public interest element when the aspects of favoritism ... and, potentially, the financial fraud of a charitable company ... starts to arise. How and how seriously are the leadership taking this?
For me, which this underlines yet again is the manipulative culture of double standards at play. Some get to do it, others are cast out and destroyed for doing ... and financial shenanigans are easily overlooked. How may case of BKs in India taking a financial cut have we uncovered her.
At another deeper level, there is an aspect of individual tragedy at play here. One that hit it nadir with the suicides of Sisters such as BK Ranjana and BK Ester also from the BKWSU in UK. Jaymini is of the same generation as Ranjana and has surrendered her life to the system. She was used as a virtual slave by the leaders with whom she has close contact and unlimited access. After having given her life she has nothing. She cannot support her parents. She has no alternative career. She has no pension. She do surrendered believing Destruction was going to be in the mid-1980s ... in 2 or 3 years to quite Sister Jayanti.
If these allegations are all true, why is then she still given
high and representative positions at BK events? Are these values the values the BKWSU wants to promote? We are what we do not what we say. Does she knows too much about the leadership which she could expose? Are her indulgences overlooked because of this? Many say the power relationships between BK Seniors are based very much on such "confidences".
I don't wish to condemn the woman. She has by compassion. I feel sorry for her that she is still trapped by the "stupid evil" that is the millenarianistic Brahma Kumari religion ... but I am concerned at the possibly asymetric double standards at play. If one Kumari is allowed to have their cake and eat it ... why not all Kumaris ... why not be honest it goes on ... why not put in place positive alternatives like pensions, welfare programs, professional training and exiting strategies for Kumaris that get old and do not make it up the ranks, or wish to leave. Remember that most of these girls come in and have to hand over their dowries to the evil business people behind the BKWSU.
If this is all true ... and the source are very good ... then within the Brahma Kumari system, Jaymini is doomed. A failure. She has "gutted her cycle" for eternity and will not be consider a "full Brahma Kumari" or "pure" any more. She will have heard this time and time again every morning from "God" himself. How does one live with that?
And how do other surrendered BKs feel living in a system that allows privileges to such individuals why they slave on handing over all their wealth and power to the BKWSU machine?
