Brahma Kumaris Info - the Truth about BK Meditation
Independent thought about the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University

Hmm, there seems to be two version of BK knowledge being taught! I was taught that the further (or higher) one went in ones job the better, as you were more prone to influence others. That it was not good to just give up everything and sit on the dole. I suspect those that had little jobs at the tim...

There is a good story of a great Brother in Edinburgh who bought the centre (ie the house they used). After a long while he changed his mind and decided he wanted the property back and left the BKs. The BKs agreed but he had forgotten that he had done some work on the house to fit in special beds et...

did not know where to put this post but this video is very illuminating indeed and shows us where we may lie in the universe(s)!

Yes, the NZ centre was certainly run by Brothers, and probably founded so. Ditto for Ozz ,wasn't it? Not sure really.

It's certainly far easier to get up at 4 am in hot weather though - that's for sure!

I know little of the BKs in NZ. My entire BK experience has been in the UK. When I came here I attended once in Auckland (run by Brothers for a change). It was quite a distance from where I lived and I drifted away. I have always meant to drop in one day and see how things are. Dadi Janki came here ...

Angels of light ... Sounds like a catch all by the Bible to sever all opposition! AtheistBus.Org I am surprised though by the number of highly intelligent people who believe in a chief spook. Particularly, of course, in Islam - the Asians are very well educated and don't give up on their religion. Y...

Yes, with a few exceptions most anti-cult sites are fundamentalist Christian sounding out the opposition! To me, a dangerous cult is one that keeps you locked up. If you can freely come and go as you please then it ain't a dangerous cult. It may well be a bunch of looneys but that's a separate matte...

Maureen was one of the Sisters that I had a less than good experience of, I have to say. I became a little disappointed as I expected more from the leader - but then again I am judging!! Yes, I went to morning class but there were times I fell away and came back again. In fact, most people did - eve...

Well, all of my BK stuff happened in the UK - not NZ. When I came here, I left the BKs forever. I doubt if I will go back but you never know. You would have to be pretty naive to swallow all the stuff they throw at you for sure. I can say for sure that some people in this group have been ill-informe...

Yes, you guys have been taught some twisted knowledge indeed! I was told that it is far better for a BK to be a head person because he then has more influence over others. Makes sense of course. We were never encouraged to leave jobs - they needed money so why would they do that?! I did not do the 4...

We were not encouraged to leave our jobs. We were more useful with jobs than without! It was mostly the people who did not have jobs, or much prospect of one, who ended up still without one and then blamed the BKs. Ditto for people with bad relationships - they split up. Yes, there were some bad thi...

Why would I want to start a debate? I was quite happy with my BK experience. I could only say good things - OK, the odd funny thing here and there but, generally, good. I only left because of me - not them. I also feel that at any time I could go back. Not that I would since I am more of a complete ...

I live in New-Zealand but have no intention of replying. I don't consider the BKs to be a dangerous cult at all. In fact, I see the Catholic church being far more dangerous. I have no axes to grind with them at all.

Somebody in an earlier comment wondered why so-called aliens looked humanoid! That's not really true since all sorts of creatures have been claimed to have been seen. However, it is true that on average most aliens look humanoid in appearance. There could be a good reason for this; 1) Hollywood make...

One thing that put me off some of The Knowledge (not all of it by any means) was the fact that I was kept being told that there could only be one Baba and hence one drama. Therefore the possibility of life existing elsewhere would be zero! Now it's a mega sized Galaxy we live in and with zillions of...
