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

Hello Deccani, I am sorry that I angered you. It really is much more likely that I win the Grand National as a horse than be paraded in front of anyone in Madhuban. The only time I have sat on a guddhi was on the morning of my one and only visit there. I sat beside DJ and she said, translated of cou...

Truly ex-I, I am answering as best I can. I understand that were quite a few visions and experiences in India at the start. One day DJ said in class that we had all had our experiences on entering Gyan. There were more than 30 students and it felt as if everyone agreed and were each happy with our o...

Hi ex-I, During my time there was Bhog on Thursday and it might be offered on Sunday. I do not know if it was offered at every meal because I did not live at the Centre. The Murli was discussed frequently but Bhog messages were not. No one ever said churn the Bhog message, but every day we were exho...

Hi ex-I, I confirm that I do not subscribe treat the 5000 year Cycle as fact. We are the raw material, that we are improved when we are cultured is clear. Would God regard querying the criteria behind acceptance of funds as taboo? I don't think so but the BK did - and they colluded in order not to d...

Hi bkti-pit,

I agree with you 100%.

Also, the founders and maintainers of this site are remarkable people- all credit to them!

Sport is a good thing for meditators to do. At different times I have played squash, table tennis and badminton. I feel at home on skis and ice skates and enjoy chess. Many chessplayers regard chess as a sport, something that requires a lot of endurance and stamina. Some chessplayers mention the ben...

Hi ex-I, You are right I have been indoctrinated but not quite in the way you think. It was the high energy experiences that indoctrinated me. It is from that perspective that I talk and not some repetitious brainwashing. I treated the BKs very seriously and they caught me to the extent that I enqui...

Hi bkti-pit, There are two sides to this coin. On the one side there is God's healing love which you have greatly benefited from. On the other side there is that which is your point. The BK way involves faith in the highest on high. I am so happy that my actions do not come under the same scrutiny a...

Now it is at this point that I differ from most. Dadi Janki is an accomplished yogi. Unfortunately her methods and those of her charges can appear completely ruthless. We hear her demanding transformation from students in just a few days or moments, this seems a form of spiritual bullying or forced ...

The Knowledge is good, most attitudes are good, the disciplines are good and the results can be very good indeed! So what is so wrong? 1) Secret love of money and property and the willingness to sacrifice and/or manipulate others in order to acquire it, look at the actions not the words. 2) The BK t...

I considered replying to your post celticgyan but I am busy taking boxes out of boxes, I can make them all different colours and shapes and sizes and when they get small I just make an expanding box - smart eh? This may take some time as I can see no end to the possibilities.

I remember a scene when one Brother was told by BapDada that he would get a lift, one Sister thought the lift meant blessings!

He got his lift alright ... back down the mountain! .

Hello exbrahmin, I note that you say you have been involved with this organisation for some time. By that do you mean that you are a BK? Did your Sister follow you into knowledge? If you are involved yourself then why are you so concerned about your Sisters involvement? Why specifically are you scar...

Hi Bkti-pit, So would you say that our thought patterns have karma somehow attached to them or even that they are an expression of our karma? It would be a hoot, if either were the case, as those who deny the existence of karma would be using what is their karma in order to deny its own existence. M...

Communication is hard to achieve on a forum such as this because our medium of expression is words. What may mean one thing to me may mean something else to you and vice versa. I wonder what the words "Divine Intellect" mean to everyone? The BK talk about this and sometimes say that in ord...
