Dear Sparkal,
Omshanti. As I have already said that PBKs do not go to each and every programme of the BKs. Only some of the big ones. That too they are given specific directions that if they wish they should distribute the pamphlets to the BKs or members of public at a safe distance from their venue or main gate, say about 100/200 meters. And generally the place where they stand to distribute the pamphlets is on the roadsides. In a democratic country like India are they not within their rights to distribute pamphlets containing Godly message to fellow citizens? And in most cases the local police is also informed beforehand that the PBKs would distribute pamphlets.
I would like to once again relate an incident which I have already mentioned in this forum or xbkchat. In the year 2005, at one of the South Indian cities where the BKs had organized a mega programme and had even called famous Movie stars (a mention has been made about it by someone in the Ex-BKs section). Naturally, thousands or even lakhs of public had gathered to see the Cine-stars more than to hear the BKs. Since the PBKs got prior information that the BKs would indulge in violence if they distributed pamphlets, hence the PBKs pasted posters all over that city just a day before the programme.
Although BKs had been successful in frightening the PBKs from distributing pamphlets, but the money that they had spent in gathering the crowd was used by Christian missionaries to distribute pamphlets to the crowd. So, you see the BKs have no objection in Christian missionaries distributing pamphlets outside their programmes, but don't want PBKs to give Godly message. While the lakhs of pamphlets posters, banners, huge signboards in that city displayed the photoes of Dadis and Cine Stars, the few hundred small posters of PBKs displayed the Trimurti picture.
Even if the PBKs distribute pamphlets, it does not contain anything against the BKs. It only contains The Knowledge of Trimurti. If you wish I can post the matters of most of the pamphlets that have been published by PBKs so far. Most of the pamphlets of PBKs contain the Trimurti picture and Murli points. And most of the BKs who are handed over these pamphlets immediately tear them off and trample them under their feet. This is the respect that they have for their own Father (Trimurti Shiv) and His versions. While they spend a huge amount in displaying Bhakti towards Dadis, they don't care to even read the Murli points printed on the PBK pamphlets.
As regards the need for PBKs to convert the BKs, I agree that there is no need. But you see, when the BKs can go to thousands of Hindu temples, Hindu fairs like Kumbh mela and spread their knowledge, which essentially means telling the Hindus that none of the Hindu deities (except Shiv) are Gods, deities like Hanuman, Ganesh etc. are nothing but animals, bathing in rivers cannot cleanse the sins, worshipping pictures and idols of deities cannot fetch any good, God is not omnipresent and so on and so forth.
Whatever BKs say is exactly opposite to what the Hindus believe. In spite of that BKs are allowed to organize exhibitions in thousands of temples all over India and probably foreign countries also. When they can go inside the Hindu temples and give a knowledge that is totally against Hinduism, then why cannot PBKs peacefully distribute pamphlets much outside the venues of BK programmes???
Even ShivBaba (through Baba Virendra Dev Dixit) has said several times that these methods of service like distributing pamphlets, pasting posters, etc. are not the actual methods of doing service. The good quality souls can emerge only through the power of Yoga and through one's high spiritual stage. But you see that there are all kinds of souls in every organization. Most of the PBKs have been BKs and have been habitual of doing the kind of service BKs do. But PBKs are strictly prohibited from wasting money on organizing conferences, exhibitions, rallies, cultural programmes, etc.
So the only occassion for a PBK to do such service is when they get to distribute pamphlets to their BK Brothers and Sisters. And they don't do it just for the sake of advertisement, but to give the message to the ignorant BKs that ShivBaba has not returned to the Soul World but is physically present in this world. When the BKs can spend crores of rupees in giving publicity to the Dadis/cine stars, don't the PBKs have right to tell their Brother souls that God is present on this Earth?????
Distribution of pamphlets is not an illegal offence even in foreign countries. I have seen on TV how pamphlets are distributed at public programmes and exhibitions. What Greenpeace activists do all over the world is well known. They demonstrate against the Governments. Christian Missionaries (both native and foreigners) can be seen visiting every house in most of the cities and towns preaching Christianity. They are never beaten up by the public. Most of the times Hindus welcome them home and listen to them even if they don't believe in them. But even if many people don't want to listen to them a polite 'no' is what the Christian missionaries get to hear.
Anyways, thanks for writing a few words against the violence.
