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

Thirdly, I would like to point out that being 'psychically open' and being 'psychically suseptible/vulnerable' are two different things. Medicinal help is very important as there are times especially if you are a bipolar etc that it simply is not a matter of will that you can heal yourself. Consider...

To shuksm, Hi Sister. I will give other advice to you. Do not practice any kind of concentration/meditation technique no matter how sweet or 'powerful' it may appear to you. It is far more likely to harm you than do you good. You know Osho once said " If you practice meditation you will remain ...

OK sukshm, I will be honest with you, and this is my final post at least on this thread if not on this forum. I think you have a few psychological issues and I would advice you to befriend a good counselor (you know how it works in India;)). Discuss with him or her your opinions honestly, your world...

hello Brother,

Also I would like to add, as ex-l says, there is a huge influence of Christianity on BK teachings. In fact, the very idea of 'Shiv Baba' seems to me as a direct copying of an Abrahamic god in pretty much all its characterstics. The organizational structure is also very similar to evangalical Christi...

Again, I would request everyone not to take my examples literally and try to find technical faults/explanations to justify the BK knowledge. Also to those who don't know I would tell you that I have run a small center at my home for 4 years so I am pretty familiar with the 'teachings'. The point her...

To sukhshmbindu, Hi...So you started as an innocent student and jumped directly into 'seva mode' though you still have a lot of doubts apparently and trying to fit a lot of pseudo-scientific terms as is common among various young people from our background. From what I have learnt about spirituality...

To sukshmbindu, Hi Sister. What do you want to know exactly? I think instead of going into the details of events that have happened in my life, which can vary from person to person and hence, their interpretation by several persons my lead to unwarranted bickering I tell to the people including myse...

To ex-l, Sorry I wrote about Kriplanis being Brahmins without bothering to cross check it as I was told, and have read, Dada being Brahmin in several books published by the organisation. And I never bothered to doubt such a minor detail as most of the English educated people of my generation who hai...

Hey Sister Greetings from a fellow mechanical engineer who is 8yrs your junior from northern part of your country. Though our paths in life may differ still I believe the world would be a better place if it has many innocent people like you (souls if you may .. it's been some time for me ;)). There ...

I consider the movement as more of a collective delusion than a sinister conspiracy. That may or may not be true but It helps me maintain a light mood and judging from my personal experience as a BK even that is an accomplishment compared to costantly failing to follow those ridiculous 'Maryadas' .

Yes, ex-l, Kriplanis are Brahmins by caste. But, as I said, they being 'sindhis' are not regarded in very good light by the 'mainlanders'. PS: The origions of BKism, in my opinion, should be seen in the above light mainly and attempts should not be made to read too much between the lines in the move...

Several such people had deep rooted fear of judgement after they die and towards the end of their careers they started getting paranoid mainly because of the prevailing concepts of 'religion' at that time. I can clearly imagine Dada Lekhraj as one such person. He may have learned about the judgement...

I think understanding about the origions of Dada Lekhraj should be the foundation of any attempt to try to understand the evolution of BK meditation. My current opinion is that he was an ordinary selfish businessman who may be clever in earning money but was in no way an intellectual or a learned ma...

Short and to the point: Never trust anyone other than your own wisdom ever. Strive to attain it and diagnose egoistic inner voice from purer wisdom obtained through whatever spiritual/social service type disciplines you practice.Have humility and always keep this in mind that you can be wrong and th...
