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

I think you (Arbit) mentioned cases of good evidence of reincarnation ... which I know of too. Could these be cases of genetic memory too? Personally, I can see the attraction of the soul equation as being stronger in such cases. So where does "karma" exist? In the genes or the soul, or b...

However, I might be able to accept that different zones of the BK movement prioritise different approaches. If I am right, you were with BKs from pre-1976 in the UK. I joined them much later, in a different place, under a different teacher, who happened to be highly educated. Every teacher and cent...

Hence the Vedic Aryan invaders can set up their social order to sustain dominance for their descendants. The way out of this is to be iconoclastic from within, like Buddhism, or from without, like Islam, or by maturation into a modern secular democratic state with a constitution and laws that encou...

On the flip side, some aspects of BK teachings do help to tackle situations: Tolerate that which only hurts your ego, but stand up to wrong, let go of what you cannot control, learn your lesson and move on without wallowing in self-pity, accept what you cannot change, do what is right and not what s...

The foundational literature and philosophy of Hinduism or the Vedic culture, of which Vedanta is one part although the word Vedanta gets used to refer to it all, are expansive. In the little that I have studied, I have not found an elaborate treatise on the Law of Karma, just that your suffering and...

AFAIK, no "formal proof" proves reincarnation. Indian and non-Indian researchers have documented hundreds of cases world-wide in which an individual autonomously (i.e., not under hypnosis or regression) claimed the identity of another deceased individual and accurately recalled incidents f...

Button, I encountered PBKs in the late 90s. They proclaimed, presumably guided by Shiva Baba via Virendra Dev Dixit, that PBKs and BKs will unite in 2007, the world will recognize Virendra Dev Dixit as emperor Ram in 2007, paradise will begin in 2009, the world with 6 billion people will destruct be...

Bad example to choose, they are starting to and answering requests for information, e.g ... Vatican bank releases financial report amid concerns over transactions . The report is, here ($117 million held). To your anoyance, ex-l, I have to restate that the reality is more nuanced than simplistic. T...

I had a few questions about the BK history post these court cases. Hopfully someone can answer, or point me in the right direction. Why was Dada Lekhraj not summoned for questioning since most allegations were against him and not Om Radhe or the Om Mandali itself? Did he respond to any of these alle...

The rest of the spiritual aspects what BKs have taught, can be learned from 5 standard moral science books and can be adopted if done sincerely. I disagree. If spirituality was this easy, millions wouldn't still be seeking it, it wouldn't be the bilion dollar business that it is. Of course, the ide...

Save Innocents wrote:Yes, there are many other planets where life is present. Lately, science has accepted that due to presence of UFOs & other extra terrestrial beings.

Pray tell us more about this.

When I took the course, the BK teacher told us that the destruction was imminent. USA and the then USSR will wage WW3. Golden Age will start when 900K BKs become perfect. The story did not add up for me. USSR was in shambles and incapable of war with USA. Total BKs were far less than 900K (BK reputa...

Basically, there's no theory, there's no basis in an accepted theory, it's not reproducible nor has it been reproduced any anyone else, it does follow scientific form particularly not including any critical element. If it was proposed as an experiment in a proper university, it would never have bee...

It evolves to the idea, present within Brahma Kumarism, that anything bad happening to someone else is their own fault and nothing can be done about it. They have to suffer. I don't know if I agree with that. When it comes to suffering, I learnt from the BK teachings to be dispassionate towards the...

After becoming a BK, the important thing is to find one's position in relation to the organization and teachings, somewhere you feel comfortable. Yours is an enlightened approach - Shanti, Thank you for summarizing my approach so well. I think my approach is more practical than enlightened. I strug...
