Hi.
It's true.
I don't know what access the BKs allow to the original recordings they have of Lekhraj Kirpalani speaking, or how old and original copies they keep but I know the PBKs have a set of the (approximately) 5 year cycle of Sakar Murlis that the BKs used dating back to the 1970s when Virendra Dev Dixit was a BKs. I know one ex-BK/ex-PBK Dr Anil has a copy of them outside of the PBKs. I would guess that they are largely original as the BKs were fairly naive at that time.
We have a few 100 dating back to the 1980 in the Library, but already they are "revised" and elements lost in their translation to English (Jayanti - the primary translator - being more PR savvy).
The BKs have their own semi-official "backdoor" Murli publishing project via "
Dr Luhar". It mght be worth checking both of his and the PBKs' websites to see where they are up to.
I don't know the history of this, it is obviously something we raised/pursued earlier. Perhaps it is in response to us, as at the time we did, they have everything on secure servers. He appears to be sincere.
Regardless of what one thinks about the religion, I think it is a terrible shame, and terribly immature spiritually, that the religion does not present its original teachings and documents and discussing their revisions and changes. Within the very limited monotonous scope of them, there are little hints and glimmers to the organisation's history, eg references to characters within it, or those who had left, references to both the organisation's and world events and how Lekhraj Kirpalani responded to them.
I think it would make an interesting project to document and explore ... especially if one is a believer.
Surely if one trully beleives "this is god", all his utterances and the events of "his" religion would be precious?
That the BK inner circle does not treat them as such and keeps them hidden or makes access difficult, and feel empowered to chop and change and revise them at will, and in an entirely undocumented manner, says a lot about them and *their* real attitude and opinion of their "god", and his following.
They appear to see themselves above their god and knowing what is best for his following.
