A medium with specific psychic abilities, similar to possession, which includes the ability to allow other spiritual or disincarnate beings, or states of consciousness, to pass through them or express them via words and action.
Channelling within the BKWSU
During the period of possession, the medium or channeller can either be present and conscious, as in the example of Dada Lekhraj; or removed and unconscious in the of BK Gulzar. It is said that when she is possessed by Bapdada, Gulzar goes out of her body and is held in suspension in the Subtle regions. During the period of possession, it is said that both Shiva and Brahma are presenting, talking and move her body whilst they instruction the institution and meet groups or BK Brahmins.
In Dada Lekhraj, or Brahma Baba's, case it is more difficult to assess how and when the possession or channelling took place. His original followers were largely unaware and unconcerned. For them, he was their Baba, or Father, and there remains an emotional attachment to God Shiva via the body of Lekhraj throughout the Institution despite instructions within the Murli to avoid doing so, manifesting in the form of "Trance Lights", or life-sized backlit images of Brahma Baba, at BKWSU centres. Regardless of whether Shiva was or was not present in the body of Brahma Baba, the process seems to have been seamless and discrete. Brahma would start the regular lessons, or Murlis, with the words, " God speaks".
There are numerous references in the Murlis to Lekhraj's body having "two engines", or two souls in it; his own and Shiva.
Prophet souls
In the case of the BKWSU, such mediums or channellers are called "chariots". It is also taught that the major prophet souls of the World Tree, e.g. Abraham, Buddha, Muhammad were also chariots, or channellers, e.g. the body and sanskars of Jesus being used as the chariot for the new Christ soul to start his religion.
