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

I heard Dadi Janki say this in morning class in London in the early '80's. This discussion was about the Law of Karma. Dadi put it succinctly - because black people seem to be suffering the most, they must have committed the most sins in past lives, therefore they must be the most impure. It gives r...

The effect on the locals has been dramatic. Keeping in mind that Mt Abu is a major tourist destination for Indians, Gujeratis in particular. It has always been a popular spot. But there has been a big demand on land by the BKs for Pandav Bhavan, Gyan Sarovar and random buildings. This pushing up lan...

Greetings! I can relate to your discovery of 'critical thinking'. I discovered the topic after I left the BKs and went to university. It became clear that the only reason the BKs are able to indoctrinate and incult its members is because people simply don't know how to properly analyse information. ...

Politics and PR about sums it up. The Germans were the first group of BKs to establish a trust/organisation for the raising of funds for BKs. That was back in the 80's. Not satisfied with normal donations to the bhandara, they created a legal entity to raise money. It was shunned initially by the Es...

In 1997, the Janki Foundation for Global Health Care was established and launched in her honour in London. A charitable trust, it supports the work of the Global Hospital and Research Centre in Mt Abu, Rajasthan, as well as promoting greater awareness of holistic health and the spiritual dimension ...

I recently read the book written by Mama in 1939, provided by ex-l in the History section. It was very revealing but I thought I would bring it out into this space for those who don't go to that section - firstly, it was very articulate and well prepared and presented and struck me as being way beyo...

The story we got from Dadi Janki in the early '80s went like this: when Lehkraj was looking to move out of Pakistan, he was offered financial support to do so by Didiji's uncle. He was of the Watumull clan after which Global Hospital is named. I don't know what the arrangement was, but essentially t...

I've just picked up on this thread now, and just after reading Om Radhes 270 pg account of the establishment of Om Mandli - so I am feeling all very historical here! I had a personal account of these events from the late and wonderful Jagdish Bhai. He said that BB was very opposed to ownership on an...

Well I just love democracy. Eugene and ex-l are both completely right. Someone mentioned balance. But perhaps not all in one posting or string. I like that Eugene expresses positive sentiments, which I am quite reserved about - I still balk at the BKSWU's continued deception and manipulation that it...

Dear Simon Blandford. I was a BK for 15 years. Like you are now, I was a dedicated and active BK. I was the Instrument for a large zone of service with many centres and several hundred students. I went to Madhuban 14 times. This included several personal meetings with BapDada right up until 1988. I ...

Not making excuses for 'them'', but with Dadiji just passing away I think they all might be a little preoccupied. They will be busy with deifying her, capitalising on the opportunity her memorial services will provide to glorify the BKs, and to drag in ''lost souls'' to whom it should now be evident...

I have no problem with ordinary and honest BKs. I think it important to clarify our motivation - it is for the ''ordinary'' BKs that we are here. They are the ''cannon fodder'' of the organisation. This forum is important to the healing process of ex-bks' (interesting that the BKs want it shut down...

Greetings all. I've not posted for quite a while but have been participating from the un-subtle regions :-). We have seen nothing from Jayanti or any of her comic relief. Why I am not surprised? Well its easy to think that her only reason for contact with bkinfo - which she described as for ''our mu...

No, never got an apology. However, a 'Senior Sister' I know, who never believed my story, was later the victim of the same behaviour. She did get a note handed to her in morning class which constituted an apology - whilst avoiding the face to face apology which would have been the respectful thing t...

I have had quite extensive 'exposure' to Sister Jayanti. Given different circumstances I am sure she would have excelled as Osama bin Ladens' first lieutenant, if not the man himself. Jayanti is an intellectual. She is highly intelligent, very capable and has unnaturally high levels of male testoste...
