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

These days in the West the introductory course does not include The Cycle, ladder, Trimurti etc - as far as I know. It is based on soul, god, meditation, powers etc. When someone is considered 'ready' they are invited to a second level course that will go into those other things. I do not know this ...

It appears that in India there's much more blatant and greater range of unusual behaviours, overstepping of boundaries into involvement to coerce & manipulate people's family lives and working lives. India is the world's largest democracy, dynamic and modernising, with a free press. Maybe this f...

Dear victim. likelihood is that there will be much negative reaction to what is read here - it will be called lies and slander by BKs. But although much of what is here is written with a certain tone, the important thing is, if you look at the substance of what is written, most of it is not disputab...

I remember seeing the paintings that included those dadas and Dadis. There was one in the small hall next to the tower of peace (was it renamed the "history hall"?) Another aspect of the early list of the top 8 and something not explored yet (or not fully at least) is, how many of them wer...

I made my point a little subtly. I am talking about not invoking a prescribed answer by asking specific questions. Let her talk - just record. Almost like lying on Freud's couch and spouting forth.... don't get in the way of the guard being lowered by reacting. Listen. Usually this is where discrepa...

... when one enters a group one is affected not just by what it says it is but what it actually is; the dynamics of the individuals within it Keeping it to a "seeker in the street" level of conversation - whether what you say about spirits is literally true or some kind of metaphor - I'd ...

To ask "hard questions" as have been asked on this forum may be bad manners when one is dealing with someone as old a she is (she says she is 97 or similar in the video - is that right? I thought there was some dispute over that?) Even if she is in her 70s or 80s, no matter, she is older a...

Yes, the terminology changes but the question still needs to be asked - what is the population in the newly transformed world? Can such a sat yuga be as is claimed with even our current world population stabilising at 7 billion? If it declines, how does it decline? By natural attrition - which will ...

The world wide web is an amazing thing. It opens up many horizon. It's ability to reach billions quickly tempts even the most secretive of people and groups who'd otherwise want to keep themselves aloof & exclusive. I was not interested in this thread, but felt it my duty to add this link to the...

I'd forgotten about that 9 years prediction poster - it was everywhere for a while, well past 1976. I wonder when the call went around the centres to take them down? Misty - the explanations you heard, of what the BKs thought of Radhe's reincarnation situation, all tally with my memory. Exactly. Bor...

Not disputing the facts, nor your main points, merely that the motive was singular, clear and concise. I'd say Dadi Janki's behaviour - including pronouncements - is a prime example of the Cognitive Dissonance that is rampant within such groups. A shining example for all BKs. (Is Cognitive Dissonanc...

There is an interesting parallel manifest within the core of the BK cultural & philosophy - the "aim & object" is to become worship worthy, of high status. For a supposed 'spiritual" practice, there is a remarkable lack of emphasis on downplaying any ego-fulfilling desires, on...

I understand that, but from my experience, the BKs do not consciously 'conspire' long term confidence tricks to con people, no more than any ideologue sincerely believes their way is for the best, but leads to patchwork and panicked responses when things go wrong. I think as a whole, the BKs sincere...

Push only brings push back. Redirect her energy somehow. "Distract" her interests towards some other activity with good people around her - a community service group, or idealistic activist group -say women's or children's support or environment etc. If she now believes such things are a w...

Why all BKs do not eat food made by others ? Are their mind or will power so weak that they could be spoiled by eating food prepared by other even daughters or daughter-in-laws? If yes, then what's the use of Yoga, as we know that Yoga or meditation makes a person’s will power strong. is this to ma...
