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

Why don't you stop the questions ... and spread your arms and see what happens ... We did that for so many years. "Just put a dot to everything" is what Janki Kripalani used to tell us when we raised questions. "Don't raise question marks" was written in the Murli. I am very hap...

Another book by Gayatri Naraine, available on Barnes & Nobel and Amazon. She has been traveling all over the world -I wonder if she went by train to "contribute to the protection of the environment and the development of a sustainable lifestyle" as is written by the BK at their environ...

look out ex-l is on his anti drug buzz again ;) Well, here is another suggestion. It's not the toli, not the 'paranormal' but plain science: the natural love drug. As people fall in love, the brain consistently releases a certain set of chemicals, including pheromones, dopamine, norepinephrine, and...

They talked about God and I was curious. How can you be so sure God really exist? One of the teachers told me, that she could not tell me. The only way is experience. Een hele goede vraag met een standaard dooddoener als antwoord. Zo is het makkelijk te geloven dat God bestaat. Bij alles wat je op ...

Het ergste vind ik dat mijn vertrouwen in God wordt afgeschildert als, "niet weten wie mijn spirituele vader" is. Ik heb indertijd ook heel lang gedacht dat ik het "wist". Het was geen geloven maar 'weten'. Zó zeker was ik ervan. Ik wíst dat ik een ziel was en dat God een punt v...

Hi Marja, Goed om je te lezen, en geweldig dat je reageert en berichten post. Laten we de boel hier eens opschudden :-) Dan komt het punt dat je inziet dat je aan je eigenwaarde moet werken en uiteindelijk kom je er sterker uit. Zo is het ook met een spirituele beweging. Die vlieger gaat helaas niet...

Jayanti asks questions and Janki Kripalani answers them: Question: What should I do when others are not content with me? Answer: they are just testing you, so don’t let that tire you. If they are not able to be content with you, let someone else make them content. If souls are not content with me, l...

The first thing Jill's experience brings up for me is to ask the question, "what happened to Lekhraj Kirpalani around 1932?" It would be so extremely helpful if we could ever get to know this. If what happened to Lekhraj Kirpalani had happened in the West, would he have just been given me...

Thanks a lot ex-l for this paper! I studied it, (together with with my dictionary). It's very interesting and it showed me how significant cultural background and education is, related to thinking one is feeling depressed or anxious due to an external influence (a demon, satan...Maya!). '... We obse...

There are plenty of other Murli's where Destruction is mentioned and that it will happen by nuclear war, civil wars and floods ... 'rivers of blood will flow'. The whole idea is that this world as we know it will be destroyed, and it will happen because the BKs are purifying everything by having Yog...

It's a pity Terry has left the room. I still think it is an interesting topic and I am learning from both of you ex-l and Terry. Your different approaches makes this so interesting for new kids on the block like me. Although now it seems to come to an end because of a sort of personal 'vendetta' goi...

Aha, I just saw the exact same website today. Google Alerts is a great tool :-). I Thought they were meditaing on destruction. Well, as I remember, hardly any meditations were specifically done with Destruction as a topic. This is about to happen anyway. However, I attended many bhatti's on establis...

Another suggestion: if we have a short standard piece of text about what the BKWSU really is, suitable for leaving comments, we could easily copy-paste it and leave it on websites where there are articles written about the BK, like here; http://tinyurl.com/bkwsu-facts.

Still we did not make any effort (tell me if I am wrong) to get out of the http://www.brahmakumaris.info box. What about making a real book with many of these worthwhile posts over here, the classics. If the authors are willing to hand over their writings to an editor who can skip too specific Gyan...

According to Maryadas the BKs are practicing this since 1950-ies. Thanks Tom, for making this clear. I wasn't aware this was Maryadas. From a point of view, in the 1950-ies in India and mainly women in charge of centers, I can understand. But living in one of the wealthiest countries on earth it is...
