2.    The RS Beas group was originated by a man named Jaimal Singh.  Jaimal Singh
       attended the lectures of a man named Rai Salagram, who was considered to have
       legitimate spiritual talents.  He was thrown out of this man's group for inappropriate
       conduct.  Then, on his own, he decided to proclaim himself god and set up his
       own group, passing off the writings, concepts and techniques of  Saligram as his
       own work.   He claimed legitimacy by simply "inserting" himself into a preexisting
       line of gurus with which he had no real association.

3.   The RS Beas initiation ceremony consists simply of conveying the intellectual
      knowledge certain Kundalini yoga techniques which have been determined to
      consist of part of the first initiation (out of a total of seven initiations) that one
      would receive from a legitimate master of Kundalini yoga.  Because of this,
      the initiation given by RS Beas cannot, by itself, enable a person to achieve any
      meaningful level of spirituality.

4.   People are lured into the RS Beas group by promises of reaching great spiritual
      heights.    After joining, they are given "pat" excuses as to why these "great spiritual
      heights" are not forthcoming such as they have bad karma, the techniques take
      400 years (four lifetimes) to work, and so on.
 

5.   Members are held in the group by a variety of mind-control and brainwashing methods.
      Under the influence of these methods, the member gradually shuts out
      the outside world and avoids sources of information which would disagree with
      the cult claims or doctrine.  Consequently, members are afraid to use the Internet
      or read books containing information about the cult which are not "approved" by
      the leader.  Members who manage to break away are generally excommunicated
      to prevent them from disillusioning those still under the influence of cult doctrine.
