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

Dadi janki was outed by the journalist "Captain Porridge" no less ... that " no scientist ever made the statement that Dadi Janki was the 'Most Stable Mind in the World' " He could not find the department existing which they claimed made it and the university knew nothing about ...

could I trademark even ... "Autobiography of an ex-Yogi"? Damn ... did I just put that out into the ether and give it all away? "Autobiography of ex-l"? Now, that would be interesting! No doubt, a best seller among BKs - all varieties. I am sure BKWSU press would love to publish...

"Defused" at the outer edges of BK-ism, perhaps? You mean, by some Self-Management Leadership course type of thing, thinking THAT is the BKWSU? Yep, SML is one of those diffused BKisms. These were the corporate bakras (translation: sacrificial goats) you could call them: Godrej & Boyc...

A big hug back at you, Eugene. Thanks for sharing your struggle. I am sure it will help others fight their own battles!

Can I be your literary agent? I am serious .

Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple" ..." I hope you are not suggesting that we should be happy that BKWSU did not organize mass suicides and made our parents shove 'cool-aid' down our throats!! I would aruge that Destruction + detachment + celibacy together make a potential e...

I meant that families are strained and fractured by their involvement in Brahma Kumarism. So, it is tough for a surrendered Sister to leave Gyan and go back to their lokik families. I don't think BKs will ever win the battle with caste Brahmins. I did not even know such a battle exists. It is clear ...

Dadi Gulzar in private chit chats tells people that the children in the Golden Age are conceived "just like now". I suspect many BKs will have heard this ... but it is not what they tell the masses. All sort of ridiculous nonsense about tears of peacocks and power of Yoga. Dadi Janki has ...

Thanks for the clarification, ex-l. I was using that 'stable mind' thing to make my point as to how BKWSU uses their associations, photo-ops or meetings with scientists, celebrities, politicians and rich folks to sell their knowledge to the Indian public at large. Back to the central theme of this t...

Ha - that's good language, EXCOMMUNICATION. Makes science sound like a religion. I am assuming you got the irony - it's not clear to me from your reaction. If not, notice the italics in my post. Also, that post was an expression of outrage - a shriek. I want to make couple of quick points about the...

I am willing to bet that our understanding of the Universe is very simplistic Most often, simple explanations are the best one. I think Scientific community should excommunicate you for holding such low opinion on scientific research. I wonder what kind of Scientists you are grooming. Sorcerers?? Y...

Thanks for that wonderful post Tom. Such a sound advice. Sukhi, I agree with Tom. You may be able to fight off your guilt over time, but it might be just too late in your case. Professional help will give you the right methods to confront your fears. BKWSU is no different than a typical cult. A good...

Que ? As Manuel in Faulty Towers would phrase it. :D Snobbery, Mr. bansy? Yep, it is almost therapautic when you use it ... especially against BKs (ex, current, or whatever). If you look at my posts, you can see, that is what I indulge in. Here is one more: My post has more logic and argument than ...

It is almost unheard of a dedicated Sister becoming an ex-BK. I guess they resign to their fate and play within the system. I would say it is the same dynamic as getting stuck in a bad marriage. Hurdles to get of out of them are same in both the cases. In case of a bad marraige, ignoring the social ...

Looks like Eugene's goal is to hit atleast 9 pages on this thread . Hey, I am only helping.

Hi Sukhi, I am from one such Indian family. We all kids followed our parents into Gyan. Some of my siblings are surrendered. I, for one, chose to get married. Guess what, I am happy and now I highly recommend marraige to everyone!! You seem to have found a nice guy ... patient, understanding, and we...
