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

Could you accept that perhaps you still have unresolved emotions in this area and are perhaps just a little in denial about it all? I mean, either it has to be God or it is not ... Probably! Easier just not to think about it, I guess, and I am quite happy that way. I wouldn't recommend anyone went ...

A thank you from me. I had a happy, loving childhood in the BK family.

(I think I was lucky because being a child meant I was subjected to very few of the negative aspects of BKWSU I have read about in these forums).

I really don't know. The rational part of me doesn't believe or want to believe in God at all, especially as I feel religion in general has caused so many problems (though that mainly comes from human beings' interpretation of "God", if there is indeed a god, I suppose). But then that leav...

Do you in any way feel to there is much lost in your relationships with your parents ? No, I don't think so - we've always had good times together. If my dad hadn't loosened up then it might have been harder as my Sister and I got older, but he's quite happy now to take part in more lokic activitie...

On the anti-party - I think my dad actually said something along the lines of 'the anti-party's always been around', I asked what he meant and he mentioned disputes over the BK wikipedia article and the Brother's letter - I am not sure that he was saying that these represent the anti-party, perhaps ...

One such "duty of care" of the BKWSU leadership could perform would be to warn newcomers about the previous failed predictions of Destruction in order that they might make sensible life decision and not take excessive and damaging life decision based on the End of the World coming. Agreed...

My parents are still together. My mother became a BK too, but once my Sister and myself stopped going to class etc she did too, and she no longer goes to class or meditates, though she does get involved with the centre and BKs on occasion. It is my feeling that she stayed with my dad and became a BK...

our good friend has just come out of the BKWSU Just to clarify: I haven't been active in the BKWSU for about 9 years, but obviously I have some idea of what's going on and still go to functions every now and then with my dad. I had no idea of the controversy surrounding the organisation until my da...

The bottomline is as a BK you do all sorts of crazy stuff, work for free and donate money BECAUSE in your next 21 lives you might be the king of the Golden Age. If you have a different idea, it is your own. Ha! I don't think that's the only reason for being a BK but, yes, I was basically saying tha...

Hello John, Yes, I can appreciate and understand that perspective. I think the BK ideal of "when we change, the world changes" is wonderful, and I did not mean to imply that BKs are wasting their time by focusing on that. Everyone has to do what they think is best to change the world and h...

Hi Arjun, I, as a BK, was told that when it is not possible to cook own food when I am away from home, I could eat food prepared either by virgins :P or by grandmothers/widows 8) even if they were non-BKs, as they have either not experienced lust or have renounced it :D. My word! See, this is where ...

Hi ex-l, I am afraid I don't know too much more about the review other than that the initial debrief to teachers only happened in the last few weeks and a number of meetings are planned across the country in various centres. I respect my Father and am not comfortable trying to get any info out of hi...

Hello all, I found this forum a couple of months ago and read through the threads for hours, feeling a mixture of shock, empathy and interest. I grew up in the BK family in the UK (from the age of 4ish) and my Father is still an active and fairly senior BK. After talking to him about some of the thi...
