Re: Experiences of those surrendered, living at the center?

11 Apr 2017

The honest confession is, the life at the center seems to provide some luxuries without actually slogging out in the corporate world. One has to be very rich or have a highly paying job to avail of something similar in a normal environment. Thanks Pink for pointing out that ..." the dialogue is...

It's helpful to read your posts ...Thanks everyone. When I re-read my previous posts,the ones in 2015 I feel strange ... How did I come here again? Let me try to look within and writing out the thoughts is helpful. Yes, I think the decision to come back was taken on impulse. This senior who was brai...

Well ... It's been a long time since I posted anything here. I did leave the center in 2015 and had a fairly average life while being away. I had a great job to keep myself busy. There was no BKism for the first 5-6months ... infact, I did have some basic BK rules challenged ... just to see if it re...

Thanks Maria ! I have finally left the center. Nobody wanted me to leave. The students/followers were nearly in tears ... I was given a beautiful farewell, received many gifts and blessings too. I was invited to dinner by one of "the Seniors" of the Yagya. I had a long conversation with th...

Thank you for the congratulation and best wishes ! I have some family issues too which come in my way if I choose to continue being at the center. So when I explained all of it, plus my own discomfort, the center-in-charge heard me peacefully. She was surprised and a bit disappointed too because I w...

Re: When to tell a friend to wake up

03 Nov 2015

Yes ... that right, ex-l. I am the witness! The different aspect of my experience is that I have not been connected to any center. Neither to any Sister/Brother or Dadi. I came in contact with brahmakumaris while I was working abroad and since my job required travelling so I followed Murlis on the i...

Today morning I announced my decision to leave the center to my family. My mother was happy and my Brother too. They feel as if I have woken up from a dream. And soon after I finalised my decision clearly to the center-in-charge. I had to. She listened carefully and offered a lot of alternatives, re...

Thank you everyone for reading my long posts and replying back in equal earnestness. I felt a huge burden lifted off me l since yesterday evening - when I read rayoflight's "when to tell a friend to wake up" and ex-l's reply in the same thread. The "drop everything and run tomorrow&qu...

Re: When to tell a friend to wake up

I have felt the same issues I feel I am facing something very big energy. Ever since I have noticed that I cannot live at the center while simultaneously questioning the Gyan, I have been sick. And worse is this "voice" inside telling me smart, cunning things to be convinced of continuing ...

The reason in one of the letters was in vague terms mentioned as 'indiscipline" or not following Maryadas. I did not pay much attention to it because I m sure the affected person has his/her share of the story too. I don't know what happened to them. Once I heard somebody narrate another Sister...

No, I don't have a form. And I remember signing one of the similar ones in the first week of my stay at the center. You need to sign a similar form to even start living at the center. It says something like, "if you fail to follow Maryadas etc you will asked to leave". I was too intoxicate...

Re: Experiences of those surrendered, living at the center?

26 Oct 2015

Yes, ex-l, after 5 years of being at the center, you fill up a form (Seniors too have to approve besides your parent's approval) and then, finally, a file with your name gets created at Madhuban. You get a ID too. I have heard that you are expected to sign some kind of declaration but I don't know f...

Experiences of those surrendered, living at the center?

25 Oct 2015

I have been living at BK centers (3 so far) for a while and I have experienced some unpleasant, unfair practices. I have been reading on this website for as long as I have been in Gyan. It's helpful to find that others too have had same doubts. But I have not come across any section or topic on the ...
