Lest it be forgotten, Lekhraj Kirpalani on Western education and the influence of other religions. This is the stuff the minds of the BKWSU leaders were steeped in for decades of their lives.
Elsewhere we were discussion the [url=http://www.brahmakumaris.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2700]rise in world literacy rates[url] since the 1930s when the Brahma Kumaris began, as a sign things are getting better. According to the Brahma Kumaris the world has been rapidly declining and about to be utterly destroyed, and any long term or old school BK adherent will remember how career destroying anti-education the BK leaders were right up until at least the 1980s.
Here is Lekhraj Kirpalani speaking about himself and the influence of the West, science and other religions. From The Divine Decree, 1943 (minor translations offered).
Perhaps Lekhraj Kirpalani's own worldview might have been a little more positive and accurate if he had gone to school or university?

Lekhraj Kripalani wrote:It can be said from due experience after acquiring Divine Insight corroborated by the Shashtras themselves that as evidenced from the above illustrated Preordained Plan, when the SUPREME, EASTERN, INTERNAL, POSITIVE, IMPERISHABLE, INSTANTANEOUSLY ACQUIRABLE Education of 'Aham Brahm Asmi' prevailed among the Ranis and Rajas [... of 500 BC to 3,000 BC] and their subjects, Bharatvasis (Indians) were Theistic, Viceless, WORSHIP-WORTHY Deities and the entire [world] was BRAHM-PURI (Celestial) ...
Even since the [Copper Age - 500 BC] ... when WES[b]TERN, EXTERNAL, NEGATIVE, PERISHABLE education[/b] has gradually prevailed among the Rajas, Ranis and the public ... [India] has lost all Sovereign Rights and [Indians] have turned atheistic, vicious, degraded, downtrodden, destitute Devotees practising penances and austerities, performing pompous rites and ceremonies, offering Civil Disobedience, Hunger-Strike, Picketing and the like ... under the banal influence of their atheistic Guides and Preceptors such as Veda-Vidi Vidvans, Acharyas, Pandits, Mulas and Kazis, Popes and Priests etc.etc. so much so that they have even forgotten the very name and identity of their highest Divine Father PRAJAPATI Brahma, the Gita Gyan INVENTOR
