I was with the Brahmakumaris from the age of 15 to 20.
I had a great start as a Brahmakumar. I was treated special for two reasons - I was a kid, I came from a religion that doesn't look upon the BK beliefs favorably.
The red light, silent atmosphere and esoteric knowledge all attracted me. Soon I found out that my belief has completely changed and I lived and behaved like a BK - getting up early for meditation, attending classes, gave up meat eating, stopped watching movies and so on and I knew I was on the path of God. I was looked upon with respect by my friends and their parents and other elders for my maturity and mannerisms.
But I had a fight, a difference in opinion that was growing by day in my house and that would burst one day.
Before I continue my experiences further, I would like to know how much is your exposure to the BK system, beliefs and theories. That would make our conversation better and more focused.
- Have you been to the BK centre?
Have you taken the 7 day course?
Else have you read about the BK - institution, people, purpose, systems and beliefs on this forum?
If not, would you like to know about them or get it explained further if haven't understood clearly?
