Do you have any comments about the nature of LearnMeditationOnline.Org? Had a quick look. Fits their MO. Pretend to be a vague, New Age spirituality, a loose group of free thinking positivists. A few hints that there is more for those who are "genuine" in going deeper. BKs are mentioned a...
Misty, I agree with ex-l. That teacher does not understand the Gyan. In fact, I'd say he/she sounds irrational and probably a little mentally unhinged (or possibly merely ignorant). But then again, ex-l, it does seem that the Gyan, as it is being so frequently revised, is now more likely to be inter...
The way loyal pseudo-thinking BKs rationalise this is to say the changes are due to a constant " refining " of The Knowledge, because Shiva does not actually "speak" - has no language - but that the "explanation" came through Lekhraj, it was him working it out over time...
So I'd like to be able to do other meditations but find I am blocked from doing so. I went through that phase. I just did other things that were beneficial in terms of awareness - creative activity and reflections etc - and getting on with things I'd always wanted to do. But getting back into medit...
Janki has better understanding of English than she lets on - hearing more than speaking though. The problem is not so much monastic life in itself, or celibacy in itself. It is the expectation of someone continuing with it when they really shouldn't. Usually that expectation is linked to some idea t...
I am sorry to be absolutely blunt but I consider the spirit of the BKs to be a parasite (which you can understand as their group spirit or their god spirit) and the Brahma Kumaris to be parasitical that is to say, they feed off others and society. Indeed! Well said. All groups have a group "sp...
The institutionalising of "spirituality" with its inherent pressure to conform will inevitably lead to individuals becoming perverted - in the literal sense "having been corrupted or distorted from an original course, meaning, or state" . Institutionalising the personal leads to ...
Dear TrueLife, Many people have difficult lives with all kinds of problems and betrayals. This forum is for those whose difficulties have been caused by, or exacerbated by, connection to the BKs. It is generous of you to share your story. Your story shows that you understand the patterns of what can...
It actually benefits the BKWSO more if these supporters are confused and uninformed because the Brahma Kumaris can hide their real intentions behind that buffer of confusion and misinformation. I believe their real intentions - as in conscious intentions - aren't malevolent, but they are quite diff...
Relating to "the experience", how do you or anyone else understand the "Honeymoon Period" when BKs first join and are intoxicated? I think the phrase says it all ""Honeymoon Period" - " intoxicated" - "the zeal of the convert" - the thrill of t...
On the theme of "shops" - I used to sell health foods (muesli, nuts juices, etc) direct to shops. Some were successful and happy in their situation. Others were not. It was astonishing how many shop owners seemed to feel trapped in their businesses. Many just trying to find their way out o...
I remember that the human corpses (rivers of blood) were going to be the fertiliser for creating the lush vegetation of the Golden Age. You can buy "blood'n'bone" fertiliser at any gardening shop - (not human though)! Which raises another inconsistency - BKs (traditional strict ones) won't...
Hitesh Ji, Using Google Translate, one can get a good start in a Hindi translation, which then only requires some editing. You can copy and paste a few hundred words at once at translate.google.com , e.g I just did this (below) in 30 seconds, so whatever edit time is needed for correcting grammar or...
