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

... perhaps what we ought to do is set up a dating website for BKs and recoup some of our donations back selling memberships? You could take a leaf out of Murdoch's book, and follow the trend in online media - charge for access to certain content. We know that BK life can be dry, and many only get ...

On one hand, one individual is sent blessings or congratulations for breaking all their rules, BKs even turning up to the weddings ... on the other hand, another BK might be guilt tripped, stigmatized, punished, their status reduction or even outcaste ... ... to the point of suicide. One thing I ha...

we only just read that BK Simon.... apparently got married in 2010 ... . Presumably that means married to a human being rather than to the BK god spirit. Congratulations Simon! May you and your wife enjoy every (and I mean every) happiness for many years to come. May your loins be fruitful with man...

Hi Sampada Unfortunately Shivani does not write here, although she may read, for all we know. I am sorry to hear of the abuse you have endured. It may partly be the reason you are feeling so insecure about your current life relationships. When a child experiences that even those who are its guardian...

I do not know the technical term for this but I am sure that in the study of fraud and confidence tricks there is a term for it. ... if you believe that you *really* will believe anything and they can suck you in even deeper. Every false belief you accept the deeper into their world you go. "S...

From the sounds of "fixed marriage" etc would it be correct to say you are in India or in a large Indian community abroad? There's good news and there's bad news in my response - but which is which depends on your attitude. The "good news" (IMO) is that she may only be being draw...

The BKs are nowhere near the most exploitative of groups, which of course does not exclude them from analysis or being held to account . But to give an idea of the practicalities of such actions, a similar case is happening in Australia. Slater & Gordon are a company of lawyers known for taking ...

Although every person is somehow crazy in his own way, these crazy people sometimes seem more normal than the so-called normal ones. This brings back an old topic. What is normal, what is ordinary? Do we put some negative value-judgement against these terms? One of the hardest things for BKs, inclu...

Greek grammar is tricky. Verbs change with every gender, tense, person, even context. δειγμα (-digm) is the 3rd person neuter of a word that in English can be translated as "see/seen, show/shown, reveal/revealed". And as a root of "in -dic- ate". The clue is in "δει" (d...

...I saw as if ... These are the most important few words you have written Littleleo. The basis of all our understanding, especially of intangible things, comes down to "as if". if you explore philosophy, psychology, mysticism, even quantum physics, you come to this - what we experience w...

... a view like your report reduces the BK god to just the same level as every other wannabe godman or prophet and religion which a second generation of adherents turn into a Messiah (... with a nice line in businesses, retreats and bookshops on the side). Do you think that is the ultimate destinat...

I suppose one might see it as a continuation of their assertion that Lekhraj Kirpalani is God. I know the BKs reading this forum will jump up at this point and say, "we don't say Lekhraj Kirpalani is God, we says Lekhraj Kirpalani is 100% equal to god" but that's not true. There are pukka...

BK numbers have been stable at 750 attending daily class since at least 2005 until present (766). Flat lining at 300 in London and 450 students around the UK ... What was the capacity of Dudden Hill? I'd say that 750 figure could just as easily be applied to the UK in 1984, when I was last there. T...

Just to add I note quizzical entry in Avyakt Vani of 21 Jan 1970 : "EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE TWO, BapDada IS ONE". Not quite as "mysterious" or disingenuous (!) as the Christian trinity. One couple, one pair. "BapDada" is asking to be thought of as a collective noun - &quo...
