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

Dear all, I'd just like to add my support to the "more than 8 smileys" campaign (despite ex-l's headteacher-like comparison of us smiley-lovers with bubblegum chewing teenyboppers). bansy - I am intrigued about the "headbanger" smiley - can you point me at an example? Best wishes...

Hello dreadi . Yes, we've all missed abek - he seemed to drop out around the time that bkinfo was revamped earlier this year. He was always ready with an appropriate slice of music and/or lyrics. When you've got a bit of time perhaps you could add a short intro of yourself under a separate thread of...

Hello global.

When you've got a bit of time perhaps you could add a short intro of yourself under a separate thread of the Newcomers forum. Welcome to bkinfo ...

Hello chai Bhai and welcome to the forum. When you've got a bit of time perhaps you could add a short intro of yourself under the Newcomers forum. I am partial to a good cup of chai masala myself ...

More than eight months ago, I promised ex-l that I'd keep you all updated on my (post-BK) Christian/Franciscan spiritual journey. So, better late than never, here's some of the key recent or upcoming events ... 1. I was confirmed as a member of the Anglican communion on the evening of 25 Nov 2007. A...

Dear all (especially ex-l ), Thanks for your various inputs and by my count that makes it about 80-20 in support of ex-l's approach and tone, so I bow to your collective opinion. To quote john morgan No offence given or taken I hope, its just my perspective at the present time However, I'd like to m...

Hello arjun,

Having had the condition on two occasions in the past, I can only sympathise with you. It's very painful and only time and rest will really fix the problem. All our best wishes for a speedy recovery ...

Dear all, A short while ago ex-l made an interesting observation, namely a lot of people do go through a stage in the BKs where they believe, and are encouraged to believe that EVERYTHING has significance and EVERYTHING is Baba talking to them. Even in life around them. It is borderline obsessional ...

Dear all, I've been dismayed to see how the tone and content of ex-l's postings have recently altered. Despite interventions by more reasonable and balanced ex-BKs, this trend has continued and I feel that the time has come to openly discuss this as a community. In my opinion, if we continue thi...

Hello andrey/bansy/alladin/peterbindi , Thanks for your thoughts and ideas on detachment. I've always found BK teaching and practice on detachment challenging but fundamentally distorted. There are numerous places on the forum where the (im)balance between detachment and love is discussed. However, ...

Hello Sakaash , welcome to the forum and thanks for your intro. Normally I wouldn't presume to advise someone about what to do with their money but since you've asked the question ... As bkti-pit says, you'll find several threads and personal experiences on the forum which relate to the BK's and mon...

Hello ermine , As you're new to the forum, I am not going to jump all over you and your comments, but don't be surprised if other ex-BKs do so, as some of what you said may offend some of our Brothers and Sisters. However, I do think you're close to spot on when you say it is Their karma to find enl...

Taken from another thread I am rambling now, so I might as well add for the benefit of Pilatus who asked if any else had psychotic episodes associated with their BK experiences. cannot you see us, limping, hobbling over our crippled psyches? I think reflecting frankly I had several near psychotic ep...

Dear PBK's, Sorry for butting into your forum as an ex/non-BK but I'd just like to gently challenge you regarding the tone (and perhaps substance) of some of your debates. Everything I know about the PBK's has come from this forum and I know that other ex/non-BK's generally have respect and regard f...

Dear all, Having been on the forum nearly a year now, I've decided to finally share something which I've held in the background for four years now. There are several personal and shared topics on the forum linked to the Madhuban experience, who/what was that, nature of Baba, hypnotism vs meditation ...
