All over her blog, there are covert mentions of the Brahma Kumaris ... she lives on a cottage in the Oxford Global Retreat Center, the Brahma Kumaris service events, the Brahma Kumaris retreat, "Yoga", the Bliss connection and so on ... whatever happened to the things the Brahma Kumaris told us ... "sword of lust", "ocean of poison" and virgins being sent to the slaughter by the priests, temples being places of degradation etc?
I suppose the leadership allows it because it is good for their business and gives a veneer of normality to it ... but how will it look to the charity commission? Are they meant to take donations to build up to something like the Global Retreat so that their chosen followers can run businesses from the premises? How do other followers feel about that?
Is it open season and we can all go out hunting a tasty BK follower for a love affair now? Note, the degree of separation, not "we meditate" but "they meditate". (These images are not hosted here but just linked to).

I woke up about 3 am. I couldnt sleep. I live next to a retreat centre and they meditate every morning at 4 am. I popped over for meditation as I thought it would be the perfect way to start such a special day. Listening to the birds singing and sitting in the peace and quiet for an hour was bliss. I went for a walk and started blowing up balloons and decorating the outside of the house ... Some neighbours with their children came out to take pictures. I had told them what time I was leaving and all the children from the village came to see 'the princess'.
My heart skipped a beat when I realised they had come to collect ME. In that carriage, I felt like a princess. It was so lovely to see little girls waving and smiling at the horses and what they believed was a princess.
My friend Luce from Bliss sang a song she had written - called 'This Love Will Last Forever'.
- Is that "forever" or "until Destruction"? I thought it love was for Baba ... 39 years old ... the old biological clock ticking away furiously.
