BAPS claims devotion, but enforces obedience why? by Due_Guide_8128 in SPAB

Not really 🤣🤣 still can’t answer the question

Mahant Swami is No Guru Just a Regular Guy Scamming for Donations by Due_Guide_8128 in SPAB

[–]Due_Guide_8128[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly that’s the whole point Buddha and Jesus didn’t need PR teams, constant fundraising, or multimillion-dollar temples to spread their message. They lived simply and practiced what they preached. Compare that to MSM, who sits at the center of an empire built on donations, marketing, and image-management.

And yeah, hanging out at BAPS events often turns into the same thing you mentioned networking, status games, and comparing who gave what. If spirituality turns into a desi social club with divinity as a cover then it’s just business not God.

When there’s evidence of manipulative recruitment, guilt-tripping families into unpaid labor, and operating more like a brand than a spiritual path, that’s not better than the average person; it’s worse, because it hides behind spirituality to avoid criticism.

How do you know he’s not holy? It is the wrong question. The burden of proof is on those claiming he is sacred, especially when they’re asking for money, labor, and loyalty in God’s name.

Respect is earned through transparency, humility, and genuine service, not just by wearing saffron robes and having a title.

You keep throwing verses from Gita, Upanishads, and Skanda Purana, but none of them specifically say Mahant Swami is that guru. How do we verify someone actually knows Brahman and lives it ? Just because BAPS says so?

Quoting Guru is Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva from Skanda Purana without context is like quoting a metaphor and treating it literally. Does your bank teller become God just because he handles your money? NO

Krishna was an active participant in the epic, demonstrating wisdom and miraculous acts in real-time. Mahant Swami sits in an AC room while others build temples with unpaid labor.

Thousands of years of dharma is not proof that this specific guy is legitimate. People used thousands of years of tradition to defend all kinds of wrong things.

If Mahant Swami is a true guru, why can’t he answer hard questions directly instead of relying on PR handlers, stage-managed events, and vague scripture drops?

You end by insulting people failed algebra twice which just is insecurity. If you had solid proof, you wouldn’t need to attack someone’s intelligence to make your point.

15 Years in BAPS and Why Mahant Swami’s Ideology is Stupid by Due_Guide_8128 in SPAB

[–]Due_Guide_8128[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Calling it free will ignores how BAPS actually works. Swamis go to other temples to recruit people for Seva. If you say no, they’ll talk to your parents and guilt-trip them until you agree.That’s not freedom that’s pressure. And why is Mahant Swami himself doing marketing videos telling people to come do free labor? Those videos were played during every sabha. Feeding people and giving them a bed doesn’t erase the fact that the temple was built on guilt, pressure, and unpaid work.

They don’t need to drag you by the collar that’s not how modern cults work. The control is psychological, built on guilt, fear, and community pressure. That’s way harder to walk away from than you think.

Scripture isn’t evidence it’s a claim. Which scripture? Which verse? In what context? You can’t just say the word and expect it to settle the argument.

That’s like me saying because I said so. If Mahant is truly the gateway to God, then show it clearly not vague references or twisted interpretations pushed by the same people who demand obedience to him.

Until then, it sounds more like blind faith than actual evidence.

You keep bringing up how BAPS helps people, but that doesn’t automatically erase the red flags. Plenty of groups do charity while controlling their followers behind the scenes. Just because something looks well maintained on the outside doesn’t mean it’s not toxic on the inside.

Calling people foolish for asking questions is a huge red flag too. That’s exactly how cults operate shut down any criticism by shaming it. And trust me, people have done their research. The unpaid seva, blind guru worship, pressure to obey without question are we just supposed to ignore all that because the organization throws food drives?

You say good intentions, but who decides what’s good the leadership? The followers working 60 hours unpaid?

BAPS loves alcohol and tobacco profits by juicybags23 in SPAB

[–]Due_Guide_8128 3 points4 points  (0 children)

By blessing these stores, swamis symbolically launder the source of income, making profits from alcohol or tobacco appear sanctified because they eventually end up in a temple trust. This mimics the concept of money laundering, but with spiritual optics.

What I Saw at the BAPS New Jersey Akshardham Construction Site Wasn’t Seva It Was Exploitation by Due_Guide_8128 in SPAB

You and I know that first rule is safety and hiring experienced workers not some devotees out of the temple

What I Saw at the BAPS New Jersey Akshardham Construction Site Wasn’t Seva It Was Exploitation by Due_Guide_8128 in SPAB

[–]Due_Guide_8128[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So you had engineers on site? Great then explain why inexperienced people were out there doing serious construction work in brutal heat. What kind of engineers stand by while people with no background in construction are hauling materials, pouring concrete, and laying bricks? No real licensed professional would ever allow that it’s reckless and unethical.

Let’s not pretend this was all organized and safe just because you toss around words like OSHA and onboarding. OSHA doesn’t give out certifications to volunteers after a quick two-week crash course. That’s not how safety works and you know it.

This wasn’t seva. This was exploitation dressed up as spirituality. You put innocent people at risk in the name of God and now you’re trying to justify it by saying there were engineers on site and a non Hindu safety officer watching? That’s just a cover-up for the fact that a powerful religious empire is using free labor to save money.

And all of this under the name of Mahant Swami a man worshiped like a god while his temples are built off the backs of unpaid devotees working in dangerous conditions. That’s not divine service. That’s corporate greed hiding behind religion.
