The Brahma Kumaris take a step even further is hiding their connection to yet another shop front, or facade for their cult this time called ... InspiredStillness.com. Was it not for the Brahma Kumaris' deviousnesses, and life wasting tracking record, one would inclined to call it more "Inspired Silliness" ... but this is good business for the BKs - selling to BKs and non-BKs alike - and brings in £300,000, or nearly half a million US Dollars, per year.
Seemingly a way to earn money off individuals without them even knowing their giving to the Brahma Kumaris, paying to be softened up and indoctrinated.
BKs ditch their corporate red and even the BK god spirit even a remodelling into a vague ... Squiggly Shiva ... with Paramdham turned purple.
The Brahma Kumaris have obviously had their designers and marketing team working double time on all this ... what it is? Have they ditched "Inner Space"? Is this the new look for the same business ... BK Publications?
Or just more artful disguise of the same old cultic religion turning more and more into a commercial venture?
There are no obvious clues that the Inspired Stillness is a Brahma Kumari front except its address and a brief note saying it is a "BKIS website". 'BKIS' stands for 'Brahma Kumari Information Services', a separate business from the so called charity which holds £377,097 in cash ... cash the BKs presumably don't have to give away as "charity" ... and for which they pay themselves a fee to manage. Originally, created as 'Brahma Kumaris INFORMATION CENTRE', over the years it has gradually disguises its primary evangelistic purpose. It take some searching to find a reference to the BKWSU, which still falsely promotes itself as a "university". It's also Tweets it's special offers ... buy, buy, buy! ... and has it's own Facebook page.
