New Sadhus given Diksha
I saw more young men becoming Sadhus...I feel sad. It's so many families loosing a son , Baps have got their claws into these families...once they give their best/most valuable asset, they can get more and more and more...from seva ,money and assets on death in their Will. They say that these boys gave up a life in west ( those from west) to be with Baps... from my experience having been born in it, you go from school to mundir and maybe play a sport... definitely not allowed to join scouts or any local group where you can make friends especially girls. There was no choice. I believed their cult lies that everyone outside is a bad influence...they even said they outsiders/ western world have no family values. It's the opposite..once parents are brainwashed ( especially having given a son) , family is secondary and Baps is number one. I have Christian ,Muslim and atheist friends and all care their family ( from elder to children) .
I believed guru was God( had direct access to God, and he held keys to salvation). I walked around knowing I had the answers.The Guru and Baps exploited and exploited and exploited. They got soo much from me.
I recently met some lovely young men/family from India, Swaminarayan but not from Baps. They valued their values and integrity and respected them ...as I do a lot of people in Baps. To be clear it's the people who claim to be God like( Brahmswarup) and their practices which are cult like practices I don't like. There are a lot of good ,honest,people in Baps. To those people in Baps he..look at all the men who claim to be Brahmswarup today..non can prove they are and they all want the same and are selling the same thing. ..all against Bhagwan Swaminarayans written instructions/ Will.
