Im Raj and i'm a baps satsangi im 16 years old residing in Clifton,NJ.
First off stop taking avguns, espicially of other satsangis, it is behavior like this that maharaj has said in the vachanamrut that causes you to regress. And those who regress are unsalvagable.
ALSO -telling- someone they are taking avgun is also an avgun.
And regarding to those who say BAPS is new or what not. This marks our 100th year. And look how far we have spread. This is not a gimic, this is through the actions of great Satpurush. How are people so drawn to baps? Just take a good look at Bapa. Recieve his proper darshan and you will see. This is no ordinary person. He is Mool Akshar.
And you can't say we are being brain washed. I was born into a not so satsang family. I ate meat when i was younger i had no niyams and didn't apprciate religion. Then by the grace of maharaj a swaminarayan temple was built near my home. I didn't follow or care about anything at mandir at all. Even when they showed videos of bapa i didn't see anything spectacular. I had no niyams whatsoever. I was a slacker. Up intil 7th grade. In 2004, Bapa came to expo hall in edison. I went got decent darshan. Later i got lunch darshan and that really set the trigger. You could feel his lumenience. i bowed down to him and recieved a daahbho(pat on back). That was when i took my first niyam of not eating meat. And thats when i realized that bapa was something more. Honestly, if you go to him with a clear mind you will feel it.
This is just a thought i have nothing to back it up.
Of course acharaya's are related to maharaj by blood. But isn't blood mayik anyway?
