It is the duty of every man, Sikh or not, to open his inner eye and perceive that any religious or social movement done towards personal goals, are bound to follow selfishness and dishonesty.
We are living in a very particular period and we shall witness many times events like "BABA BAKALA"...but most probably without the radiant presence of enlighted souls.…
I am a mother of 2 young children that is currently going through a very taraumatic divorce, a divorce that may never have happened if my mother in law was not infatauted with a 'baba' Bhagwan Dass from Shabad in India.
These baba prey on illeterate women and destroy so many lives they are poisoning the roots of Sikhi, our future generations are very weak in history of Sikhi and knoweldge of what it means to be a Sikh, these Baba are killing us silently and more action is needed simply sitting back writing articles about them on the net is not suffeceint we need to find a way at an international level so that these baba and future baba are aware that they can not get away with ruining peoples lives,
My inlaws made my life hell as I refused to worship their 'Baba' or follow his ways some off which opose Sikhi, we need to pressure our leaders to educate the sangat to prevent people from being abused in this way.
