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

It's been an year almost since I troubled myself with the thoughts of BKs and their cult but for some strange little reason while practicing my daily routine of some beginner-level spiritual practces of mind control etc. I suddenly felt a strong pull towards the BK spirit. At first I was a bit hesit...

I was referring to the original point by point framing in Vedantic lore that you listed No, that's not Vedantic lore but simplistic understanding of scriptures like Bhagvatam which I don't think are even old enough to be considered as authentic Hinduism but since I am too lazy to properly qualify a...

The info I shared as first post on this thread is just copy pasted from freely available sources and there is hardly anything that I have added as my personal opinion as I was trying to provide a gist of theory of some common scriptures to someone who is totally new to such ideas, which were written...

Apart from this I have also read some Jain and Sikh sources, like the 'Vichhitra Natak' by guru Gobind Singh, which is far more graphic and even talks about incest becoming a common practice and 9 year old girls becoming mothers etc. Recently came in touch with an advanced sadhak of Hanumanji who ta...

Traditional Hinduism teaches about the cyclic nature of time, and one cycle is divided into four unequal parts which are called 'Yugas'. There are 71 Yuga Cycles in a Manvantara (Age of Manu) and 1,000 Yuga Cycles in a Kalpa (Day of Brahma). Each of the four Yugas involves stages of evolution. Altho...

It's a very welcome initiative. I had seriously thought of starting an 'Awaken from Brahmakumaris and cults like this" in a satirical form once but lack of resources, paucity of time, and a few other factors like avoiding a literal Mahabharat with my mother, who has almost lost her mental balan...

The negative direction. It's all very similar to the number line really. There is no limit on either side. We start at point zero where we don't know anything in what is called 'animal consciousness'. Food, sex and material comforts or their lack thereof determines our general behaviour patterns. No...

Look everyone has a right to express their opinions and I see many people on this thread who are trying to rationalize their BK life experiences. Some I am sure would have reverted back to their BK meditation style as I could see a sort of reverence for the cult in their opinions (may or may not be ...

In an earlier post I had mentioned 3 factors on which a channeling type relationship depends. The first was the strength of your 'source'; and the second was the strength of your bond with that source. In the case of normal humans (and even some non-human ones, involving lower level spirits etc), it...

One of the mysteries of BKism is how it adopted some of this same monotheistic, messianic nature. I suspect that, in love with the British as much as he was, Lekhraj Kirpalani had exposure to some Jehovah Witness-type Christianity, however, I have no evidence to support that apart from the extra re...

This would then raise questions, or even present answers, for why individuals who have ostensibly "left" BKism, still struggle with influences, serve, or are used for the benefits of the BKWSU and its spirits.They are, in a sense, still psychically enslaved to the BK community, even thoug...

I don't think you and I are saying anything contradictory. Whatever you have written about usage of drugs etc in this dimension most certainly affects the person and often provides him with some experience if done correctly, though I have no personal experience of this matter but it's well documente...

I'd throw in a third unrelated influence, e.g. those under the influence of drugs or alcohol (again, I guess, ego weakeners?). The reason drugs/herbs etc are not included in discussions about serious spirituality is that unlike other spiritual practices or deep and long suffering which help reduce ...

Most of the experiences, like feeling 'in sync' with the universe and being at exactly the right place at the right time or feeling as if universe is very benevolent towards you and everything is tuned to perfection, are psychic in nature too. It's just the degree and nature of those experiences tha...

As far as my understanding goes spirituality is just about being aware that a different dimension of existence exists and all the boundaries/labels/categorizations that we so easily make in daily life are nothing but simplifications in our attempt to grasp/make sense of a multi layered reality which...
