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

I would say to keep the tablets. The choice to be able to control one's pain is important, for example if you break a rib, and prefer to avoid hospital care.

What's next, Brahma Kumari Tattoos? (You heard it here first!)

Hi Ratna, I think that the family and friends of BK Esther will formulate their own questions and meaning. When a person dies, everyone asks their own questions. There is no one "real thing." All of life is real and holy. You write as tho you know your true destination. Congratulations, I ...

Enlightened, Yes, there is a certain chaos here. I see it as a positive feature. How to communicate among all that? Someone learning to speak to a group is taught to speak to the one or two attentive, sympathetic faces in the audience. Maybe that image will help you here. You can write for those who...

Going to the Grand Canyon next month, to be awed by the desert, spend time alone, have an adventure. (Going down the pub for my favorite beer sounds good too, but I'd have to travel even further for that). There's a lot to see in that desert country. And this is a great time of year, as the days ar...

As far as the tone of the forum, the emphasis on abusive behaviors within the BK organization, wh...

I am surprised to find myself feeling somewhat caustic wrt your posts, Newlife.

When you look back and see that it is no longer there, was it ever really there to begin with??

I read one of his books, I think Phantoms in the Brain. He has an annoying certainty, with his opinions forming a kind of closed universe. An interesting universe, and worth exploring, nonetheless.

Hi Exbrahmin, I have no particular advice. This is as good a crowd as any to hang out with. We'll read whatever you write about whatever you read here and touches you, and write whenever the spirit (Spirit(TM)) moves us. Okay, here's some advice: live fully and find happiness in your life. You canno...

Funny, John Morgan, how the nature of thought is so central to your view of the world. And to me, thoughts are not something at all that I even think about these days. I tried to engage you in a bit of debate before, which did not really satisfy. "Thought is something, and you have to think abo...

No one can pith, Terry, like Mr. Green.

Bansy, I saw that play, Doubt, on Broadway, a few years ago. The theater name had changed, but it was once called 'The Ritz', a name that suggests wealth and good breeding. Probably the movie is good, too. I wanted to write about it to the playwright, who's email was in the program. BKs are strongly...

Yes, Bansy, the BKs usually do a great job of organizing. I was in Madhuban for a few of their big conferences, where big means about 5,000. The BKs involved in organizing at the height of the arrivals were awake for days, going on little or no sleep - really dedicated. Seeing all that activity bein...
