BKs advertising Aruna Ladva degree from Biggest Quack School

Post24 Mar 2015

From a topic, Anthony Strano dead (BKWSU in Turkey). Aruna Ladva, known to have used connections with Oxford Leadership Academy's Brian Bacon, through the BKWSU, for her own professional future. I wonder if this was part of his advice ... or merely BKWS so-called "University" academic rigour and ethics at play?

It seems that despite the degree mill closing down 5 years ago, the BKWSU and Aruna Ladva are both still advertising her "degree" from what is known as "the Biggest Quack School in Natural Medicine".

Who is fooling who? How can you build an Age of Truth out of lies and gross exaggerations?

This is typical of the lies and gross exaggerations, and disregard for academia that the BKWSU has been practising for its entire history and widely since its expansion to the West.

One of Aruna's books in, “It’s Time… for Relationships”. How can someone who has not had any relationship (we presume ... although our BK 'angels' suggest otherwise) be een expert on everyone else's?

The BK's [sister in charge], as usual, struggle with basic grammar (... Lesson: never trust a God who's adherents cann'ot apostrophise).

Decoding the BKspeak (see below), Aruna's mum was a BK who introduced her to the BKs aged 8. By 14 years old, she was enculted into BKism. But what "spiritual truths" was she "exposed to" in the Brahma Kumaris ... 5,000 year Cycles and God Lekhraj Kirpalani coming back as Krishna?

And what is this new advertising by-line ... "the gentle art of Raja Yoga". Yes ... 4am alarm calls for the rest of your life and Dadi Janki prying in ever corner of your life. Very gentle".
Aruna Ladva : Aruna is fortunate to have the blend of both cultures -- the East and West! She was born in Nakuru (Kenya), educated in London (England), worked in Vancouver (Canada), and has lived in various other parts of the world and travels regularly to India. Aruna was exposed to spiritual truths from an early age; in fact she had her first meditation experience at the tender age of 8. By the age of 14, she had found her calling and decided to focus on what mattered most in life -- the development of her soul journey. For the past 36 years, Aruna has been studying the gentle art of Raja Yoga Meditation taught by Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University (http://www.BKWSU.org). She is currently one of their experienced teachers, travelling regularly to promote the work of the university, running retreats, managing projects, teaching and facilitating in the areas of human development and writing weekly articles. She has also helped establish meditation centres in Canada, Turkey, Bahrain and Kuwait.

Aruna is a Certified Negotiator in Conflict Resolution and together with her degree in natural health continues to promote a peaceful, natural and vegetarian lifestyle.

Yes, of course there are only two cultures in the world.

BKWSU advertising Aruna Ladva degree from "Biggest Quack Sch

Post25 Mar 2015

Presumably she means EAST Africa and WEST London? Usual "sounds good" BS which falls apart at the most gentle of inspections.

It's funny how the BKs have and advertise all these wonderful "Certified Negotiator in Conflict Resolution" but when it comes to "conflicts" with the likes of us and the PBKs etc, they do nothing but behave like ignorant authoritarians. Neither she nor the BKWSU actually states *where* she got her certification ... as for her "degree in natural health", see The Biggest Quack School in Natural Medicine Closes (07/12/2010).

Apparently, when Aruna was about 12 years old, she was called by "God" - or the spirit of deceased Lekhraj Kirpalani (whoever BapDada is) - that she was "The Queen of England" ... but even she has voiced doubts angrily about Babdada not being the same anymore.

With the BKWSU, she was known for her argumentiveness with Dadi Janki and a false self-esteem without any basic education. I've read her described as "bossy, jealous, greedy and very ambitious, unsatisfied, tricky and
manipulative" by other BKs at the same centre as her, prefering Westerners and disliking Indians, and being "neurotic and nervous in her private life" ... although good at keeping up the facade.

It seems they had problems with her "shopping addition" and (non-)accounting habits and she struggled being financially dependent on the BKWSU. She really wanted to be a free and independent woman.

Both Aruna's parents were BKs, so I see her as a victim targeted by the like of Dadi Janki and denied a normal life.

Her two Sisters were also enculted.
Clayton College of Natural Health, a Birmingham-based, unaccredited Internet correspondence school that has faced criticism over its academic standards, is preparing to cease operations.

The Clayton school for years has been a classic diploma mill operation, offering doctorates and other degrees to students of natural health care, without providing clinical training or educational standards of any kind.

The danger has been that Clayton graduates have represented themselves as Naturopathic doctors and have mislead consumers into believing they are seeing a graduate of an accredited medical school. It has been this misrepresentation that has caused their discredit ...
In November 2010, a class-action suit was filed on behalf of an estimated 5,000+ people who had enrolled in CCNH and submitted most or all of their tuition in advance. The suit alleges that CCNH had refused to refund tens of millions of tuition dollars for programs that were not completed

If Aruna and the BKWSU had any ethics, why did not they join the act, rather still mis-advertising the bogus degree?

Apparently Dadi Janki knew all about this and followed it all in great detail. The BKs being in daily contact with her via telephone.

3.40 am! I sometimes went into a state of lucid dreaming often between av and morning class meditation.
