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

You see, my point would be, if the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University wish to become fully ethical, it would have to include some scientific teaching about Darwin, evolution and scientific methodology and present its own teachings purely as unproven 'opinions'. But the whole basis of RajYoga...

As progenitors of the concept, it is really up to the "World University" to finance that research. Well, of course, that is not going to happen! But do you have any idea about the current state of art and methodology of the various dating systems? (There is more than one). I am not that u...

Can 'it' work before and without believing in the 5,000 Year Cycle? Yes, absolutely. I know that to be true from some students I went through the course with and never made it past lessons two or three. Then why encumber the religion with such a belief? Good question... perhaps it's simply the trut...

I posted a lecture by Jay Lakhani which I thought would interest you. In the fourth part he talks about Hindus' relationship with science, Darwinism and mentions the Big Bang. In the last part, he touches on the "hard problem" of consciousness and science's relationships with it. He is bo...

Sorry about that, but BKinfo is "not as easy as going to your aunty's house". That's true! :D I am concerned about your negative portray of all scientists." I don't feel all scientists are bad, nor am I saying saying scientists are bad people simply because they're scientists ... But...

To me, Corporeal form will not matter in the end because God is not limited to it and I made my faith firm only when I tested my experiences which did not depend on any corporeal form, Seniors or even annual visits to Madhuban etc. If I had not experienced the presence of God in my daily life and d...

Do you think everyone's "alternative view" is of equal weight or value to another individuals, or the scientific one?... Do you think that just 'having an idea' makes it as good as or better than others, or is there some process by which it become proven? I am finding these questions quit...

Come on ... the whole thing was just dreamed up by some uneducated shopkeeper in the backwaters of India, who probably know nothing of dinosaurs, pyramids or ancient China, but who because he has made a million could indulge in his repressed Hindu fantasies of being Krishna surrounded by his adorin...

Roy, this topic doesn't interest me but the above echoed something within me and made me smile (thanks!)- we are really having our individual beliefs posing them as truth to others while absolute truth will emerge over time - we choose our faith in the meanwhile :-). Hi Clearernow, you make a good ...

The idea we were discussing was that "life always existed" which is an older and wider belief that those of the BKs. I'd guess most scientists working the area would be aware of similar Hindu and Buddhist ideas and, of course, there are many excellent scientists from Hindu and Buddhist ba...

I don't think it is fair or accurate to suggest that science is developing to "avoid" the idea life has always existed? I don't think that has been a motivating principle. To be fair, most scientists aren't aware of the teachings of RajYoga, so you may be right. However, when we look at t...

Please bear in mind that the purpose of this website is to help people leave or get over the BKWSU, or to protect non-BKs from it not to be a surrogate for it. Absolutely ex-l, I have no wish to get in the way of the work that goes on here, in helping souls get past their negative BKWSU experiences...

Hi guys, I am new to this forum as I usually post on the bk-pbk forum , but I was drawn to this thread ... so I hope it's okay for me as a questioning BK, or probably more accurately, a student of the teachings of the AIVV, to be posting on here along with you. For what it's worth, here is my take o...
