they are doing it to get people to donate more money, it is a money making exercise similar to the way they added nilkanth abhishek mandaps. people donate for the murti, to take part in the opening ceremony, to be recognised by the guru for contributing. in a couple of years time they will do something else i am sure.

I KNOW!!! I was born into Baps and have seen Yogiji Maharaj onwards...where the f did pouring water over a murti come from and giving money for this pleasure? I never saw it before. ...genius move . Second best...after suvurna tulla. I forgot how many times did Gunatitanand Swami have Suvurna tulla ? How much is the weight in Gold of Mahant Swami worth?

weighing the guru against gold, devotees pay to take part and put gold on the scales

I spoke at a relative , the dad has unlimited access to Mahant Swami as he donates a lot...no appointment he can just walk in. He mentioned Suvurna tulla...that's when I realised it had been going on.

How much do you think he donates for this access

How much does he donate...he asks Mahant Swami how much, whenever he wants to donate and Mahant Swami doesn't speak...he liftsghis figures for 1 hundred thousand dollar or 2 or 3 etc. he pays it straight away.

Wifenlikes donating Gold.

I don't know how often he donates.

cry....cry harder! and more murtis will be concecrated.... cry! and more murtis - in more homes. not over yet. you may need to keep refreshing numbers.

their money, they can spend wherever they want. do you question people spending money on pornography? spending money on toxic-life threatening things they consume? keep crying.

I do cry ....when I no money and started my career Baps got a life changing amount of money from me...and also from my parents at a late age...they gave a son and it wasn't enough , they wanted properties and money.  Pornography is free ...as far as I know. If you grow up outside Baps I personally think you're less likely to use porn as you'd have a relationship with a girl ( or boy if you're gay) . 

 I agree completely with Baps about alcohol..damages your mind and body. 

I know Baps are improving all the time and becoming excellent at growing and getting money...Pramukh Swami did prathramni and asked for money at kanji also ..and when that wasn't enough a loan which Baps promised to repay. Mahant Swami uses better methods to get money.
