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

I have tried to tabulate the similarities between Christianity and BK philosophy, and contrasted them with Hinduism.
I am happy to make changes if anyone spots issues or provides more suggestions. I will attribute the contribution.

trueyogi, You are going through a tough period in life. You will have to gather strength and grit to navigate the upheaval. Your wife is likely convinced that celibacy, and donation of time and money to BKs, will earn her a spot in a Golden Age that is about to start shortly in a few years. Unfortun...

Mann, First things first, take care of your health. Modern medicine will eventually discover that stress leads to many ailments, including ulcers (stress weakens the immune system, disabling it from fighting bacteria and viruses). So physically remove yourself from the center, and see a non-BK docto...

I agree with most of your post ex-l, a rare occurrence!

Excellent example of Japan. The Japanese were also smart enough to keep Islam out.

Great summary of what is happening in NE India.

Also, good observation about BK's spread from the Sindhi community.

...while Paul’s success was found in changing the ”message”, leading to his becoming the second most important figure in Christianity ... it was Paul that really made Christianity accepting of non-Jews, and acceptable to non-Jews, by being "all things to all people” ... There are efforts withi...

Often ex-l and others have been critical of BKs for (mis)appropriating symbols and ideas of other religions to further their own agenda and philosophy. For example, showing Brahma Baba in the same posture as Jesus Christ in prevailing popular Christian art, equating Brahma Baba to Santa Claus as the...

You may be able to meet her at the Om Shanti Retreat Center in Gurgaon (NCR). She is likely very busy and may be hard to meet in person. You could try calling the Center to make an appointment or learn about her schedule.

Fearless, You are in an unfortunate situation and you have some tough decisions to make. BK philosophy can convince people that they are very special and are about to receive highly privileged positions in a new world order. It can be difficult to ignore this idea, especially when they are surrounde...

Yes, BK Shivani is a bit wishy washy in this talk, but at one point (21:00 to 21:40) does pacify the audience by asking them to believe that their Golden Age has started. Although the language is not this direct, that's the message. But, I do understand that this may have been more of a pep talk tha...

During the last Milan in Mt Abu, on April 10, the buzz was: 1. Golden Age to arrive in the next 2 years. 2. The new political environment, with Modi as the Prime Minister and Adityanath as the new Chief Minister of India's most populous state, is a harbinger of the imminent Golden Age. 3. Brahma Bab...

This is interesting. Thanks for that tid-bit, PP. My guess would be that he was influenced even before 1936 (because of several similarities even at that early stage), but perhaps the influence grew stronger when he arrived at Abu. Could that explain the transition from God-incarnate Prajapati Brahm...

The historian is offering a quick overview of a longer period and you mention the particular establishment of the Federal Reserve as evidence she is wrong? Two things. 1. That is akin to denying global warming because its a cold winter. If global warming meant that there would be no cold winters, t...

Based on some recent studies, I am beginning to think that the BK knowledge is more Christian than Hindu (it certainly is not Vedic). There are many similarities between BK beliefs and Christian beliefs, e.g. notion of paradise, need of a prophet, white clothing, seminary-like setting of centers, mi...

GuptaRati, I concur with you on DS and its operations. You cite Guyana's case and, as I am sure you know, the same applies to pretty much all of South America, and many other regions of the world. I can be persuaded about DS's influence on the BKs if you show evidence, even if circumstantial. The BK...

The DS evolves over time. Used to primarily include circles of bankers and plutocrats. Today the bunch also includes media magnates. So far I don't see their influence on BKs. BKs are small potatoes. They could be influenced through the government down the road. There is a deeper state than this - i...
