Before the other poster defines or gives some evidence about "that" war in particular, let me say that usually students/visitors can perceive it, if the atmosphere at centers is not peaceful nor pleasant, due to the conflicts going on between instruments. Both in the wide lokik world and the BK little one, wars are usually about power and territory, and are sustained by EGO.
Students become the "innocent blood" of such wars. Spiritual famine and epidemics are also typical side effects. I would like to read some true story of examples where the SS instruction for the masses to not complain nor intervene or ask for removal of some 'Lord of War' sister in charge and instead engaging in sending powerful good wishes; being a loving examples of virtues worked miracles, peace was restored and everybody lived happily thereafter.
Any positive reports that can inspire students to hold on patiently rather than fleeing (or also picking up some weapon and take sides or falling into the temptation of shooting them all!! ) and experiment with the magic of "good wishes" whilst bullets are being fired over and around them?
I do not doubt the power of "Bhaavna", good feelings. In fact, I think this is the most beautiful and most elevated teaching in Raja Yoga. My concern is that, if SS are aware of the above mentioned wars, and still allow such vicious souls to stay in power, this choice of not chopping heads has a lot of repercussions, is disempowering for the Yagya itself and all BKs, a bad example and obviously creates mistrust in the leadership (and even God), because where are justice and cleanliness if rotten apples are not discarded from the top??
Those Lords of War in question, and any like them, feel totally legitimated to continue to carry on in the same way and that disease spreads freely to other centers and countries, because "if they can get away with it, we also can!!"
Whenever such comments or questions are asked to SS, the answer is that, "you have a limited intellect and cannot understand the secret of how Baba's system works"
