ex-l wrote:Yes ... interesting ... I noticed that too. Was there another exodus after Lekhraj Kirpalani died, reducing the number of Brahma-Kumaris, do you think? It is dated September 1969.
ex-l wrote:Also, is this the first work of Jagdish Chander or an earlier pen?
arjun wrote:Most probably it appears to be the work of Jagdish Bhai. The foreword/introduction by the Editor describes personal experiences, but surprisingly the name is not mentioned.
ex-l wrote:I also noticed that and thought it was admirable. It reminded me of the naive old days, pre-personality cult. For many recent BKs, it will be a good education of the way things were. But, still, let us consider ... 1969 equals 150 BK Sisters and a only handful of Brothers?
I wonder what it meant to be one of 150 when there were only 108 places in the Rudra Mala? Did you pick up anything else?
arjun wrote:I have not gone through the booklet completely. I will try to go through it by taking a printout since reading and quoting from a pdf file is comparatively difficult.
ex-l wrote:Can you convert the recent Murlis posted on the site as well?
uddhava wrote:Which Murlis (URL?). Also have converted Versions of God Almighty 1969 but upload section not working.

The BKs said it was karma and drama, but I saw that it was preventable and that his death was not necessary if only he would have taken care of his physical health in a different manner.
I wrote:An interesting aspect of Yagya history as mentioned in the foreword by the Editor of the booklet is that there were more than 150 completely dedicated mothers and Sisters in the Yagya at the time of writing the booklet, i.e. in September, 1969. ... If the BK version of Yagya history is to be believed there were nearly 400 dedicated members at the beginning of the Yagya. The list of members uploaded by the Admin. on this site also supports this number. Considering that the majority of that number would have been mother and Sisters (even if we guess it to be about 300) the number had reduced to almost half by 1969.
