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

... a view like your report reduces the BK god to just the same level as every other wannabe godman or prophet and religion which a second generation of adherents turn into a Messiah (... with a nice line in businesses, retreats and bookshops on the side). Do you think that is the ultimate destinat...

I suppose one might see it as a continuation of their assertion that Lekhraj Kirpalani is God. I know the BKs reading this forum will jump up at this point and say, "we don't say Lekhraj Kirpalani is God, we says Lekhraj Kirpalani is 100% equal to god" but that's not true. There are pukka...

BK numbers have been stable at 750 attending daily class since at least 2005 until present (766). Flat lining at 300 in London and 450 students around the UK ... What was the capacity of Dudden Hill? I'd say that 750 figure could just as easily be applied to the UK in 1984, when I was last there. T...

Just to add I note quizzical entry in Avyakt Vani of 21 Jan 1970 : "EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE TWO, BapDada IS ONE". Not quite as "mysterious" or disingenuous (!) as the Christian trinity. One couple, one pair. "BapDada" is asking to be thought of as a collective noun - &quo...

Where I live, the Brahma Kumaris wear the mask and operate under the false name of "Raja Yoga", pretending to be an innocent meditation center, which helps people relax, be peaceful ... etc. That's how I started - they used Raja Yoga as the name and I was attracted as I was already doing ...

Seems like you had a good time in India....And that's true from last few years meditation Australia teacher's course increased at large scale. Thanks for sharing your experience and informative stuff as well :D After Maria's contribution below (which JP's comment indicates he never read properly) t...

From another thread: Misty wrote: It [the BKWSU] is only banned in a few countries : Greece, France and Russia . Is that true? What is the reality of this ban? There were many BKs in France and Russia, not so many in Greece. Are the BKs totally banned in these countries, or restricted? Are there BKs...

On a forum run by BKs primarily for BKs but on which they allow me to contribute despite stirring the pot (probably because it keeps it more interesting for them!) there's been a "little debate" about the value of doing physical preliminaries before any meditation. Now, we all know you can...

Enlightened, You replied to one part of my post below, saying "Spot On!". But what about my suggestion to let us know where you are and what kind of support you could really use in real life. Someone here may have the wherewithal to be a real-time, present friend and support. Whether just ...

Enlightened - I am strongly sensing there's a strong need for a real person-to-person connection with honesty, love, respect, sensitivity to support you in your journey of healing. And the wounds may make you feel that social intercourse is difficult enough, let alone the confidence for flirtations,...

Enlightened, You have revealed a lot in that last post showing how your circumstances and experiences affect your options. Going back to all the things discussed so far, especially those that do not require money; Have you tried them expecting a "final solution - once and for all"? Even fo...

Sounds like a fine "Recipe" by a "Life Coach" ..! Unfortunately, the "Genetic Factor" can be decisive, and may influence or even over-rule everything else ..!! Yes that's true, that's why I mentioned that it may be biochemical. And huge strides have been made in that a...

The wife did not wish to have anything to do with the BKs so, naturally , my friend had to move back in with his family. I Sounds like what is "natural' is what is the problem, that is, it is not natural. Sounds like the wife saw problems ahead and got out - smart cookie. His manhood is at the...

Hi Enlightened, Based on reading and listening and people I know, things I've done and self-observation, we all experience all psycho-pathologies in one form or other but to differing degrees. I can say I have at times experienced "symptoms" but they rise and fall, and like the weather, on...

On the other hand, ..... It can be either/or. it can be both. It may be something else , or a combination ... it is what it is. I am glad I asked the questions for you have supplied very well-considered responses. Interesting that it was this aspect, of people making it a business, over and above t...
