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

I would call it unethical if they were taking donations from public in name of charity and then offering free treatment to BK members who could afford it! If they charge money to BKs, you call it business and if they don't, you would call it unethical anyway :D But the fact is that GHRC is one of th...

To put it into context, 1,000 Rs is about week's wages for an average worker, 10 days in the poorer parts of India (100 Rs per day). That is actually not expensive if you take similar preventive check-ups in an equivalent hospital. Many years ago I had paid 1500 INR in Delhi and the same would cost...

I’d say she also needs to be honest with herself - does she want to be both a poor wife and a poor BK? She needs to choose one or other and do it well, not demean herself and you with pretences. Very true. After seeing this post, this is exactly what I thought. She perhaps wants to have best of bot...

Not really. But he did mention this experience as "entering of a deity" in his book

I was there when APJ stayed in Shantivan and he even met BapDada during the time.

He has narrated this experience in his book "ignited minds".

I couldn't get any such information on the site but anyhow that's besides the point I wouldn't be surprised if he offered land. Its a win-win in India for politicians and spiritual/religious organizations to do these things. People in Govt may offer land to gurus with good following and in return th...

The BK interaction with Modi goes further than a photo op. Hey ex-l, that's something I am not aware of. Is that so? Modi is the most followed Indian leader on twitter and facebook. He has tweeted umpteen times about many Hindu Gurus like Sri Sri (it was on his FB account this week). I have never s...

FS, its interesting that you are linking Modi to BKs just because BKs have had photo Op with him- They don't spare anyone on photo-ops so your first 2-3 lines are good for ridicule but lack substance. So coming to the rest of it (apologies ex-L- you wanted this not discussed on this topic): The Chur...

PP, surely attacking is different to burgling or theft. I have commented on the part where FS like many headline makers in India portrayed this whole Church episode as "attack" but they turned out to be "theft or "burglary". A majority of Indian media these days is tabloid j...

After he sweared as PM, similar incidents happened all across India like rape of an old Bengali Nun, vandalizing churches (new target of this group is Christian Community of India) and converting Muslim into Hindu, popularly the drive was named by BJP's wings as "Ghar Wapsi (Return to home). F...

Does BKism tend individuals to become rude, emotionless and painful for others or does the system really transform them to the peace givers, love full, mercy full as they claim in their teachings. It's different for people and not everyone goes through the same experience. It's interesting that you...

Exactly. The emotional response creates cognitive dissonance, an ability to distort and apply different kinds of reasoning to get the outcome one wants, like an addict does. And as long as one gets that emotional response of euphoria, one will centre their whole lives around where they get it - one...

What they need is not a better god, but a better way of living and thinking. What they need is to overcome their fearful, superstitious need for any god. OK, that is of course one of the ways. Turning into an atheist. Not every beliver in God does it out of fear or superstition though. It can be ou...

No, I have not supplied an absolute definition of a perfect God, I identified what I beleive to be characteristics 'The' highest on high supreme soul God would display, if he were ”perfect” ... PP, once again you avoided my questions and put even more weight to prove your argument about BK God to b...

PP, what you have defined is essentially to prove BK God to be an "imperfect God" but not an absolute definition of a "Perfect God". Every religion, including BKs, have their notion of God which may well be all false and just an imposed belief system. Another dimension of this, k...
