Brahma Kumaris Info - the Truth about BK Meditation

That’s a good summary becuase.parmeshwar that i think applies globally. As i said earlier, with such belief systems, they are not obliged to even adhere to their own internally consistent and cohesive logic, let alone correlation with objective facts and evidence. So now that the new chapter waits t...

I don't really know much about what goes on these days in terms of what BKs are thinking or rationalising when real events upset the apple cart of their Gyan. From what I have ascertained in the last decade or so, they really don't care about consistency, as long as they feel good within themselves,...

If you ask any nurse, they will tell you it's not uncommon for the chronically ill to go downhill then suddenly appear to improve just before they die. In fact, the experienced ones can often tell when the recovery or improvement is the sign of death coming not far behind. So it may not have been fa...

Just to add that I could get no sound from the video but if anyone has that problem you can click on the little cog icon to turn on the captions.

If he’d given her dowry back without question, the judge would note the husband’s acting in good faith by not seeking to profit from her, which leaves her looking like a gold digger.

The judge’s order seems reasonable. Rs 450 a month in those days was substantial.

HI Vikashmodi, I don't have time to answer at length right now, someone else may. In the meantime, I suggest you browse this site for similar discussions as this problem arises a lot and what people do also varies. Of course there are many variations within relationships so the kind of response that...

Bill Maher riffs on how to deal with cult members who cling to their belief in their leader even despite evidence to the contrary. The Great Disappointment The challenge for us is, how do you get people out of a cult? When you're fighting a cult you're not just fighting the leaders, but all the enab...

So, covid is causing a cash flow problem! Not only no visitors doing ‘spiritual tourism” and leaving donations but also many BKs who give a percentage of incomes as regular donations will have lost their incomes. Those letters sound like a cunningly composed appeal for money based on a sense of psyc...

I have heard about two weeks ago that there is a big outbreak of Covid-19 at Abu Rd BKs so it has probably also infected Madhuban. That's my guess, don't know for sure. Apparently, also hearsay, there’s a lot of disquiet as to why "Baba’s canopy of protection" did not extend to viruses. Th...

A ”divine" form of elder abuse.

I have noticed how BKs tend to avoid any discussion, interrogation of the issue or even viewing any documentaries about cults. I think it makes them uncomfortable. I do know some BKs who kind of accept that BKs have cultish qualities but equivocate about it being ”not as bad” as some! And any news r...

Very useful links and connections. Anyone who still feels the shadow of the BKs over their lives should make a point of connecting with other groups - not just support groups but any interest groups that you may like to explore, be it an art, a book group or philosophy group, craft or sport, go for ...

I suppose when certain behaviours are endemic in all sections of a society, it's considered part of the culture. It's what everyone does, therefore they are ”no worse than anyone else”. We know how it's very common for many gurus and ashrams to accept ”donations" and accumulate vast amounts of ...
