When talking on this subject she also said to me that when the foretold Destruction did not happen a large number of people left the BKs. I had not heard about the PBKs at that time, but I now wonder if many of those who left in 1976 went to join the PBKs. Would that be an accurate assessment?
No. I don't think that all or most of those who left the BKs due to the failure of the declaration of destruction in 1976 joined the PBKs. They might have returned to the outside world as non-BKs. Most of the BKs who had become PBKs 1976 onwards had become PBKs after understanding the Advanced Knowledge on the basis of the study of Murlis and Avyakt Vanis.
I have downloaded the video 301 785 Mu. 26Dec 66 16-Sep-05 Avadi [Chennai] GP from http://www.PBKs.info and I am watching it now. Is the speaker, who is wearing spectacles, and dressed in white, Veerendra Dev Dixit?
Yes, your guess is correct. ShivBaba is clarifying the original Sakar Murli dated 26.12.66 in that Murli class in a South Indian city famous for its opposition to Hindi language. You should note that in most of the BK centers located in South Indian cities the Murlis are translated by the BK teachers. But, thanks to ShivBaba, many PBKs living in South India, whose mother tongue is not Hindi and may not have spoken in Hindi throughout their life, have learnt Hindi to the extent that they can understand the Murlis in Hindi or even talk to Baba in Hindi.
