Brahmakumari raped for 4 years at Patna BK Centre: confirmed
Posted: 26 Sep 2013
Another tragic case which, I suspect, has much more human tragedy attached to it than we are reading in the press. Another couple of lives thrown under the wheels of the Brahma Kumari Ratha Yatra Juggernaut* and spoil. Ditto, I am sure that as many cases as we read of, there are 10 or 100s times we don't.
The report cries "Rape" and when I first read that I was skeptical. I thought it would be difficult for a BK Brother to rape a BK Sister over a period of 4 years without detection. Note, the article says the individual in question reported the issue to the organization's leadership but they did nothing. Indeed, they went on to publicly accuse the victim ... as if their method and habit.
I don't know but I am suspecting this was just a love affair which went bad ... perhaps partly under false pretences. Two individual BKs craving simple human warmth, kindness and normality ... but trapped by the BK system and mental indoctrination. Such things have happened before.
However, the more I thought about it, the more I considered it could be a rape by modern terms *if* the BK Brother involved had cynically tricked or coerced the BK Sister with false pretences of saving her and a future marriage ... promises he had no intention of following up on. Perhaps we will never know.
We will certainly never get the truth from the Brahmakumari leadership whose PR spin doctors went into overdrive accusing the victim. "All the allegations are false", cried the BK Elite adding that, "The 22-year old was accused of misconduct and expelled from the University sometime back".
Just the sort of typical response you would expect from the conservative Right Wing political party the BKs are, when one of their politicians was caught with his trousers down or taking advantage of an intern.
Can anyone find out any more information about this?
What's hypocritical about it is that so many of the BKs Western Elite have dropped their knickers and partnered up or married off, but still get called back for public events and are used for service ... one rule for rich and light skinned, another for the poor and dark?
Needless to say, the victim will be tossed back to their real family to pick up the wreckage, or just left on the street.
If I am wrong, please correct me.

SHOCKING: 'Brahmakumari' raped for four years at Ishwariya Vishvidyalaya in Patna
PATNA: County's one of the most well-known "Godly University", which offers courses that focus on the benefits of moral and spiritual approaches to life was defamed on Monday. In a shocking incident, a 22-year-old spiritual leader Brahma Kumari was allegedly raped for four years by a sewak on the pretext of marriage at the famous Brahmakumaris Ishwariya Vishwavidyalaya here.
Sewak Lallan has been accused of raping the spiritual leader. The shameful incident came to light on Monday when the victim along with members of Prem Youth organisation reached Mahila Police station and reported the matter.
The victim alleged that she was not the only Brahmakumari to have faced the sexual assault, but there were also many other, who were going through the shameful act.
Moreover, the brahmakumari was also threatened of dire consequences by the sewak.
She informed that she had reported about the matter to Brahmakumari Anju, who heads the Fatuha located University but to no avail.
Whereas, Brahmakumari rubbished the allegations on Monday. "All the allegations are false," adding, "The 22-year old was accused of misconduct and expelled from the University sometime back."
Notably, Brahmakumaris World Spiritual University (BKWSU)is a well known spiritual value based educational institution that has gained global acceptance and unique international recognition. One of the most famous faces of Brahmakumari Sisters, "Brahmakumari Shivani" has given many speeches about 'Art of Joyful Living' at several reputed institutes including the Indian Institute of Management (IIM).
- * The English word juggernaut is a reference to the Hindi Jagannath Temple in Puri and means "a huge wagon bearing an image of a Hindu god" which are rolled out during the Ratha Yatra ("Chariot procession"), an annual procession of chariots carrying the murtis or statues of various Hindu gods. The Sanskrit Jagannātha (जगन्नाथ) means "world-lord", one of the names of Krishna who the BKs believe is their businessman founder Lekhraj Kirpalani.
Some Hindus believe that throwing themselves under the wheels of these huge chariots and being crushed to death is religious sacrifice which bring liberation or spiritual benefit. Every year they roll them, generally a few old people or demented devotees do just that. Of course, India does somewhat lack 'Health and Safety' standards and that is a good excuse just for accidental deaths caused by the manic pushing and shoving of the crowd and general commotion.
"It's their karma" ...
The figurative sense of the English word juggernaut means "something that demands blind devotion or merciless sacrifice" which is precisely what ruing your life and throwing it away on the Brahmakumari's Yatra is.
Needless to say, the victim will be tossed back to their real family to pick up the wreckage, or just left on the street.
