You can visit
http://www.PBKs.info which has been launched recently to download audio and video files of clarification Murlis.
Proy wrote:*At present my Hindi speaking friends watch satellite broadcasts of Indian spiritual teachers with me. Does Veerendra Dev Dixit give any satellite broadcasts?
I hope your versions come true soon. But as for the present, very few cable networks in some cities broadcast Baba's clarification Murlis which are probably accessible only in a limited area of some cities. This is being done through the individual efforts of PBKs. There are now many TV channels in India that air spiritual programmes and lectures of various religions/sects including BKs. But whenever PBKs have tried to request them to air Baba's Advanced Knowledge (there are many VCD* which could be understood even by laymen), but they ask for hefty amounts to air them.
Since Baba does not permit payment of any amount to do service (through TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, etc.) the spread of Advanced Knowledge through these media has been held up since many years. Only when these channels are ready to air the Advanced Knowledge free of cost will that be available to the general public. Until then
http://www.PBKs.info is there for anyone to access ShivBaba's clarification Murlis. Although BKs have all the resources to do service through TV channels, but most of their programmes are classes by senior Sisters and Brothers, including management experts, whose lectures has nothing to do with the actual gyaan given in the basic course.
Proy wrote:*Are all or most PBKs ex-BKs, or do some people go straight to being PBKs?
Yes, most PBKs are ex-BKs, but many non-BKs also have become PBKs. It is assumed that most of such non-BKs had been BKs in the past birth. Such non-BKs who come to PBK gitapathshalas or mini-Madhubans are first given the basic course, taught about the Murlis and Avyakt Vanis and then given the Advance Course before allowing them to undergo the bhatti.
Yes. You can know more about it from a thread on this topic in the Commonroom.
*How is the Vishnu Party related to the BKs and the PBKs?
The head of Vishnu Party, i.e. Shri Dashrath Patel and many of his followers have been BKs and PBKs in the past. Dashrath Bhai probably became a PBK in the early 1990s. They got separated from the PBKs in 1996/97 and established their own group at Ahmedabad.
It is a website being run by a PBK. Most or all of the material seems to have been uploaded with Baba's permission.
