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

I have been watching the so called financial crisis unfold on my 60 channels of cable TV. It reminded me that the BKs would be loving it - another crisis, especially a global one, is the food of happiness for them. It somehow vindicates their otherwise marginalised position, and brings new hope that...

Dadi Janki would have come running back because she believed Destruction was due in 1950 - she came back in 1944 during the "great Mahabharat War" as old Lehkraj believed at the time. Of course, it did not happen. Thing is, she denied the fact that Destruction did not happen as predicted t...

What always gets me is the cheek and skill with which the BKs market themselves. They have absolutely no conscience when it comes to selling themselves - if you know what I mean :-). What comes to mind is the stuff about Dadi Janki being "the most stable mind in the world". The so called r...

It was a while back, when Dadi Prakashmani was too sick to travel, that Dadi Janki gave a very emotive class in London. She said (I imagine in her quiet, serious way that she uses when drawing everyone in) that she, Dadi Gulzar and Prakashmani "would all be there until the end" . The class...

There are many things I would like to share about my journey from BK to ex-BK to me. I think a lot of it has had to do with this forum and its predecessor exbkchat. I think these forums are very important tools to share and vent our experiences and feelings - it is how we process and deal with our p...

Thanks everyone! It really does feel good. It guess it goes to show that hope is not the fallacy it seems when we are down on the bottom of the proverbial sea of despair. Somehow, somehow, it all worked out.

Well, I think we have deviated somewhat since the inception of the topic Having a partner, getting married & becoming a mum, dad etc. The original question posed was this: My social life revolved around the BKs and their dogma and so I never really got to experience living a normal social life. ...

When I left the BKs I threw out the baby with the bathwater. I knew I had done it, but I couldn't work out what was "mine" and what was "theirs". I did not want to know or hear about spirituality - or meditation. After almost 10 years (I left in '99), I find myself meditating aga...

It seems ironic that the identity that we carry with ourselves - that of "ex-BK" - is actually an identity imposed upon us by the Brahma Kumaris! Once upon a time we inherited a prepackaged, utopian identity from the BK's. As BKs' we identified those who left as 'ex-BKs' and then got stuck...

Thanks Joel. Your post reflects real world spiritual wisdom. This is a worthwhile counter to the superstitious view of karma that seems to be the norm. While agreeing that actions have consequences, to be adult is to make choices and take responsibility for the decision and accept the consequences. ...

"ideas do not define reality" - this is a very good point, because we have made the mistake of allowing ideas to own us and force a reality upon us - ideas about the world and life and even ourselves that have been created in our minds by others - society, educators, culture and cults like...

The problem really is that he is generalising. He is making and applying general assumptions. I can see his point about 'victims' vindicating themselves in their process of trying to resestablish their self esteem. On a case by case basis it would be a different story. It took me several years to re...

Hughman made comments on another site that are his own creation based on his own speculation. It has flowed onto this site which is completely unnecessary. What I don't understand is why EVERYONE did not see Hughman's comments for what they were - total rubbish - and just leave it at that. His ignor...

Well I have just read this thread and noted that no accusations or allegations have been made or posted on this site. One very inconsiderate person has made some very inappropriate comments on another site, and one or two equally thoughtless people have bought into it. Let's not blow things out of p...
