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

Thanks abek and ex-I , Sorry for the delay in responding but very busy with a new job and family at the moment. To answer your questions ex-I : 1. I don't feel any need to square BK practice with my Christian "stance". This visit was a test for me and how I'd feel about going back into a B...

Would just like to share that I recently visited a BK centre after a gap of 6 months. It was the Cambridge meditation centre, pitched as Retreat by the River (Cam). I was pleased to find that none of my old anxiety and irritation was present. The meditation wasn't as strong as it perhaps was when I ...

Dear Admin - I'd just like to add my vote of thanks to those of abek and freedom. I really like the new structure, facilities, look-and-feel of the forum. Thank you so much for your continuing improvements during a time which might have been a bit distracting?!

Dear master creator , By way of background I'd like to be clear that, unlike you (and many of the contributors to this forum), I wasn't wholeheartedly committed to the pukka BK way of life. You will find many articles on this forum where celibacy and purity are discussed. In one example on Purity un...

Haven't dipped into this topic since mid-Sept and what do I find - the usual story with (ex)BK nutters! Mr Green quite reasonably observes that the one true God (or at least Chariot) is the piece of fruitcake in his fridge and the rest of you go off on one - no! I prefer the gulab jamun, or I've fou...

I've always experienced that invoking the Holy Trinity is particularly powerful.

Does this mean you'll be getting together with bro neo?

If so, can I volunteer to be Morpheus? (even though I don't look anything like Laurence Fishburn and am nowhere near as cool ...) .

Absolutely jannisder - BTW like the "new" avatar...

Love, joy and namaste,

Thanks bansy and tinydot for starting this thread - humility is one of my biggest challenges! I was never comfortable with the simplistic BK view of ego as vice, but the three key notes of the Franciscans are Love, Joy and Humility and I am having to work hard at (at least) the last two of these! Fo...

Thanks for taking me back to the good old days of Bill and Ben abek - and I loved the "pottiest" pun ... To take proy's model one step further, perhaps we can compare the BK structure with e.g. the Church of England General Synod = BapDada meeting: 1. House of laity = common-or-garden, not...

Following abek's lead, below is the text of an e-mail which I've just sent to my various BK contacts in the UK. May we all keep up the good work, especially Admin! This is a short e-mail to update you with recent events in my life and raise an issue which I'd like to bring to your attention. Some of...

Wow I am really jealous of you paul . We're off now for a three-day retreat to a Franciscan (SSF) friary at Hilfield, near Dorchester in Dorset, UK. Have been looking forward to it for a long time and, as was mentioned on another thread, selected friaries, abbeys and monasteries can offer very good ...

" Body conscious " - used to refer (derogatively) to people who are fit and healthy, inclined to treat their bodies as temples since, after all, it's the only Chariot we know we've got ... Never used regarding a slim, attractive, sari-clad Senior Sister (Shudra equivalent being "Cor! ...

Hello again, Yes, pilatus. You will probably get a birth or two at the end of the Silver Age as our cremator and then head off to the Middle East asap to hang out with Jesus. Again. For eternity. Heavy on the sandalwood when it comes to the funeral pyre but light on the ghee as I am allergic to dair...

" Irregular student " ... this is someone who; 1. Likes getting up early on some days and cannot be arsed on others. 2. Doesn't enjoy sitting still waiting hours for God knows what to happen (and actually likes to do early morning mediation while cycling, star gazing or hill walking). 3. I...

Hello again all (esp. ex-I , abek , andrey and bro neo ), Sorry I've not been responding to your questions ex-I - I went off in the direction which I felt bro neo wanted to explore given the references to God and Satan rather than God/Baba and Ravan/Maya ... I am very interested in the 'evolution of...
