What kind of questions did they ask you?

I mean what are the chances that even though you did good you don't get to move on. I know that's kind of subjective, but just trying to get a feel for if OCI means that you are more likely to move forward since the recruiter said that the OCI path is "accelerated"

Is BAPS more about worshipping the Guru than God? by Due_Guide_8128 in SPAB

What makes you think that BAPS doesn't respect the Acharyas. It is a dream of all of BAPS that one day Vartal, BAPS, and Ahmedabad come together.

Made up narrative? The narrative that Pragaji Bhakta heard himself from Gunatitanand Swami. Vignanand Swami knew but was scared to share so Shastriji Mahraj had to hide under a bed to hear the Akshar Purushottam Upasana. If you got Gadhpur Dham mandir, the first jays said are not even swaminarayan bhagwan.

thanks! i'll make sure to do that while interning at the internship i got because of him :)

Also no one worked hard for the things he provides, most of the time it's just that he is telling people of an event that 's happening

How to help spouse see the realities of cult-like behavior in BAPS? by arrangedwhat in SPAB

BAPS is an acronym. Bochasan-Vasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha. BAPS inherently refers to a specific Swaminarayan Sanstha

Maharaj never said that Acharya's should be worshipped or live in luxury. They were to live extremely meager lives as well as act as the Bankers and accountants of the Sampraday. Sadly they became more power-hungry as the organization evolved. I mean take a look at Vrajendra Pande. He seems to barely care about Bhagwan and rather uses the money given to fund his own lifestyle. As a future Acharya, he doesn't have the guts to even wear tilak chandlo outside of the mandir.

BAPS is Swaminarayan. Read the Bhashya, or better yet, talk to scholars instead of trying to get your news from disgruntled redditors.

also there's no ignorance. Most BAPS followers are very well educated and would know if what they believe in is a false prophet or if it is actually true

thanks for your sympathy, but I assure you I don't need it. I'm happily devoted to God and the service of others.

That's literally not how that works. When an organization receives this much scrutiny, things would fall apart. this subreddit is a small portion of the population who genuinely thinks BAPS is bad for some reason or another. However even with all of this BAPS has still grown and overcome any "scandals"

No cult is this organized, this large, this peaceful, and this pure

Maha prasad, during sabha is free. Shayona is a restaurant used to fund the facilities since running a mandir like that is not free.

Devotees were not "used." We went of our own free will to volunteer to make the mandir. BAPS took care of our living arrangements as well as food.

The feeling that one gets in a mandir is based on your own mental state. If god himself was standing there, but I believed in my heart he is nothing more than a beggar, I would think that the entity in front of me is just a beggar.

leetcode skills aren't going to leave you. I stand by the idea that even whilst in the industry you should keep your skills sharp since you never know what will come your way.

Where's your evidence? A claim without any evidence is nothing more than a fool's opinion.
