Whose "spirituality"?
As you are a BK, we have to translate 'BKspeak' into plain and honest English for Abhinav.
Define "spirituality" ... it is a word the BKs use vaguely to the public but, privately, mean their own religion.
Were Krishna and Mohammed not "spiritual", and did they not have many wives or lovers?
Are Sikhs and Orthodox Christian priests not "spiritual", and do they not have to marry?
What about real caste born Brahmins, do they not marry and are they not "spiritual"?
I could give you many examples which contradict you ... but then, let's be honest Deepak, you don't mean "spiritual" you mean BK ... and you don't mean "God", you mean the god spirit of the BKs.
Then we have to look at the evidence of the BKWSU ...
BK leaders have been being (mostly) celibate for 70 or more years.
Has it made them honest? No.
Has it made them even lawful? In many cases, no.
Has it stopped their ego or material interests? Not really, they're gurus increasing fly business class and they are collective luxury properties all around the world.
Abhinav,
A brief background. Initially the BKWSU was a private organization largely paid for by an extremely rich Sindi businessman who believed he was Krishna in Hyderabad and Karachi. Initially, despite being married, he lived quite a sensual life surrounded by many rich and attractive young women who he called his "gopis". And who believed the world was going to end during WWII. It did ... he then believed it was going to end in 1950. It did not ... and then all his money ran out.
The community slimmed down, many left, it was kept afloat by female supporter of his ... and then that money supply ran out.
What happened next? They turned private community into a religion and started appealing to the Sindi diaspora and Hindi communities for donations which they started to live off.
In the 1930s his sensual lifestyle, which targeted the young girls and young wives of men in his bhaibund, had caused a lot of problems and the wider influence of the Bhaibund community, and legal action, had caused them to have to live a more chaste life, men and women separated.
When they turned their lifestyle into a religion which took donations, they have to take on the appearances of Hindu holy men, e.g. from the sanyasis, who they criticized strong, they adopted celibacy, and they became like gurus. They don't like to be called gurus, they called themselves "Dadis, Dadas and Didis" but, essentially, they operate the same. Increasingly since that time they have expanded their business-religion into the Hindu market taking over roles which were previously held by saddhus or sanyasis and calling themselves "Brahmins". In order to call themselves Brahmins they had to act more like them.
Their ambition is to rule India and they now have many "satellite centres" (
my term) overseas which bring in even more donations. In fact, their ambition is to rule the world. They say their god spirit has predicted they will rule the world for 2,500 years. They seek to conquer it, "three square feet at a time".
What doest that mean? It means 'person by person' ... "three square feet at a time" is the space required for someone to do their meditation.
Therefore, they have developed a technique by which gradually encult or enslave individuals ... "mind, body and wealth" ... into the religion, controlling every aspect of their life and excluding any other positive influence from outside of the cult. One of the ways they do this is by disallowing individuals from getting married and having children, having sex ... or even eating the same food cooked by outsiders.
When BK Deepack says, "study", they mean 'study Brahma Kumarism'.
BK Deepack says, "God", they mean the BKs' god spirit ... not 'God' as you understand it.
When BK Deepack says, "spirituality", they really mean 'Brahma Kumarism' ... not 'religion' or 'spirituality' as you understand it.
Whatever you chose to do in your life ... be very careful with the Brahma Kumaris. They use words and ideas they have stolen from Hinduism and elsewhere very sweetly, and sound very sincere, but everything say has a double meaning which is often hidden from you. If you have any doubts, please allow us to translate.
I can sum up Brahma Kumarism in three words ... "man, tan and dhan (mind, body or labor and wealthy)". That is ... "
your 'man, tan and dhan' in their pocket, bank account or control".
Everything else is just a sales pitch or the trap to catch them. They don't even want you, they just want your mind, your free labour, and your wealthy or property. They won't look after you when you get old or sick like a family would and so you decide your own path in life.
