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

Here's a very good one I've just refound. It's from Sandy Cotter who is visiting fellow, director and co-founder of Praxis, based at Cranfield School of Management: Before people develop a higher consciousness, they need to have a robust psychology. This always strikes me as so relevant to numerous ...

Hello in_transit , Welcome to the forum and congratulations on having the courage to ask for help - it's often the most difficult, first step! I don't fit the category of "senior ex-BK" you're looking for but I know that there are quite a few here who are very willing and able to engage wi...

It's fairly obvious bansy that you should follow the BK's example: take option (a), eat the cake while in Baba's remembrance and then serve the nine children with loving, peaceful vibrations! The only (slight) downside is that you may become a bit more mataji/Mr Green kumari-shaped but worrying abou...

To be more positive/supportive to you raj/sakshi Delhi/beejroop/destroy old world , You may be interested in at least part of a long article quoted by tom under the topic "Can meditation be bad for you?" It says there Dr. Michael Persinger, a professor of neuroscience at the Laurentian Uni...

Hello tom and thanks very much for this. There's lots of good food for thought here and quite a few points I'd like to pick up on later. I am sure we've come at this topic before elsewhere on the forum, probably with a focus on BK Raj Yoga rather than other forms of meditation. I'll do some research...

One might see this forum as a stopping off point for individuals that have been through the BK machine, recognised that it is not the be all and end all as it is presented and are ready for their next challenge in life. It is here for us to share our experiences, unpick the mental conditioning, lau...

Sorry Sanjeev if I am being slow (after having just come back from holiday) but like Arjun , I fail to see any connection at all between the quote Arjun provided and your sachkand quote which ex-l has already highlighted, the subsequent "advice" which you give and which, along with your ot...

Hum - very interesting from Admin :shock: Further investigation has shown that the following Dashrath Patel, Vishnu Party related accounts; sakshi Delhi beejroop destroy old world raj all appear to be editing from the same internet connection. May explain why last August I apologise to all the membe...

yet I remember Big Mo warning about going into a trance state "in case you were hijacked". Given that a lot of Raj Yoga teaching was about going into a trance state and all the other posts about who the Madhuban "holy spook" is, you could indeed conclude that BB is Satan (or at ...

Hello paul, I had a similar experience a few years ago when we had dietary analysis/feedback from a rather well-built Michael Van Straten (LBC's Doctor Garlic) while on a management course. Many of us when we first saw Michael felt as you did: how can someone with that shape teach us anything about ...

While all you pukka (ex)BK's may be used to ex-l's use of bap (as in BapDada), I am much more used to Bap is often a larger soft roll, roughly 5-6 inches in diameter. Apparently the Concise Oxford Dictionary (1995) says that the word "bap" dates from the 16th century and that its origin is...

ex-l wrote:I wish he would come and talk to us.

Can you really expect that? especially after ...

ex-l wrote:our "Bacon Bap" as we lovingly call him

which made me laugh so hard it brought tears to my eyes ... .

Hello tom , Have been mulling over how and when to respond to your post (and those earlier by jannisder ). My instinctive reaction was that the BKs aren't "destructive", at least not according to my preconception of the word. Found the following on Wikipedia "Destructive cult" is...

Thanks Paul for starting this topic and please forgive me if I veer slightly off topic, but I too noticed, 17) God is the first and always perfect soul. This seems to me to get to the essence of how some of us perceive/experience God. It's what might be termed the personal(ised)/anthropomorphic vers...

Hi chai,

Just go the top page of the forum (e.g. Newcomers, Commonroom), you want to enter your topic and you'll see a NewTopic button top left ...
