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

Yoga with God is different and 100% encouraged as you all know. But it is supposed to be a subtler experience. I think there are many different experiences in the BK world. God, or god spirit, or group spirit (collective conscious)? The difficult thing with all this is it is entirely unpredictable ...

It's not the experience, it's what you do with it afterwards. Funnily enough, within Orthodox BKism - by which I mean the traditional, Murli based understanding of it, not the sort of New Agey revision - there was a downplaying of "experiences" and a portrayal of them as "the fruit of...

In a way, it's part of what I was looking for when I joined the so-called ”Spiritual University” only to find they did not even have a library except of their own propaganda. When I arrived, they had just a domestic cupboard with a few copies of a few of their books on a couple of shelves. They wer...

Pink, Thank you for your post. In my first decade as a BK I would always defend against attacks of the BK institution as a cult ... My position was pretty much exactly the same as yours. Despite no longer "believing", I would still defend them from criticism and apologise for them as bein...

Sure. I felt it from a Christian priest (while a BK) and from a rock that was given to a friend by some saddhu in India (without being told what it was). I don't deny it. I just deny (it is beyond the point of questioning) everything that is layered on top of it ... and mostly the economics of it all.

Both the above statements are true ... so what do we make of it and how do we analyse it? As ridiculous as the question sounds, how does one assess it logically and intelligently? There's an old Sufi story that I will cut down to a bear mininum as illustration ... short version is, after a long pilg...

The Virendra Dev Dixit saga rolls on with " 67 Minor Girls Rescued From Rajasthan Hotel, Godman's Link Probed ". While now obviously a national campaign, I've yet to see any evidence that either the girls or their parents wanted them to be "rescued". Or, indeed, needed to be resc...

We tell our inner authentic voice to keep trusting, to be patient. Then one day, an inner voice of the inner voice says "stop lying to yourself,this is not working. Wake up”. The great danger in this is that we finally come to distrust our own intuitions, our own inner guides, and at that poin...

I look at the core psychology within BKism as like a family where abuse has taken place, by the primogenitor Lekhraj Kirpalani, and the family has responded with typical denial and cover up, and swung to the opposite extreme ... their extreme form of abstinency from all attachment, physical contacts...

I am not sure I understand what you mean, or want to.

It's funny, and we can joke about it, but as far as I remember, it was entirely undiscussed within BKism. I've got to believe it affects pretty much every male BK ... waking every other day with their own "shivlingum" to worship. May be it's just a sign that you are not grinding your bones...

Ha ... ha ... reading a full post about sex is too much for a BK to handle. Here's another one, I don't know if it was included above. How many male BKs suffered from penile erections first thing in the morning? Morning glories, or nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) as they are correctly called, are...

So does objectivity.

We have a far higher degree of factuality and objectivity than the BKs themselves.

Of course, if they have taken refuge within the BKism due to other problems in their lives, and then they see everything we have exposed, I appreciate that it can be a big shock to them.

What I think some point are good. But most of them I wasted my time here. Gosh, you did not even last one day. Do courts not accept witness statements? What "references" are you expecting to find? You have BKs here of both sexes, from all over the world, from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s ... w...

"When the whole world doesn't believe in God, it'll be a great place ... I am exactly the opposite of religious, I am anti-religious. I find religious people hideous. I hate the religious lies. It's all a big lie ... It's not a neurotic thing, but the miserable record of religion — I don't eve...
