Yes, it is utterly confusing. And it would help if the individuals just went back to basic and gave us all a chart of who is who, and what title is what, and when who has it ... like a historical lineage. If the post is moved, then I suggest the title is changed to something like "ShivBaba's incarnations according to different splinter groups" or something like that.
I would also appreciate if the individuals involved were willing to come clean and state clearly how they say themselves and what loyalties or experiences they have had if they are not "pure" PBK.
I am in the West. I could not give two hoots to the rivalry or past history of all the splits and splinters and am shock by the depths of the divisions. It is also very boring. The internet gives us a chance for a new start but sadly old relationships and rivarly are imported onto it. You should see the silliness of some BKs always deleting the PBK section on the Wikipedia so as to pretend they do not exist.
So, new_world, where do you come from and how d you see yourself in relationship to the BK and PBK?
Shivsena, I know that you are intelligent enough to see your place within the BK tree and integrity enough to state it objectively.
We are all birds of different colors on the one Tree.
