Based on some recent studies, I am beginning to think that the BK knowledge is more Christian than Hindu (it certainly is not Vedic). There are many similarities between BK beliefs and Christian beliefs, e.g. notion of paradise, need of a prophet, white clothing, seminary-like setting of centers, minimal iconography, obsessive hatred for sex, denigration of Vedic texts, etc.
British were in India from 1608 to 1947, of which they likely dominated from -1700 to 1947, and directly ruled India from ~1850 to 1947. They also engaged in evangelism, a key method of which was to demonize local traditions and superimpose Christianity.
I now wonder, how and to what extent did evangelists influence Dada Lekhraj? He was not well-versed with the Vedic system, as we know, and hence it must have been easier to influence him.
Do we know of any encounters between Dada Lekhraj and Christianity?
