Brahma Kumaris Info - the Truth about BK Meditation

From: Scientology, the American version of the BKWSU

This complaint followed on the heels of a recent report filed with the Canada Competition Bureau for similar alleged crimes over a twelve year period.

Looks like the same crimes BK practice according to all reports here.

BKWSU claim that they have connections with the UN, and try to hide behind it whenever questioned about their activities, or sense troubles in the air.

Where I live, they always make it a point to mention on their activities leaflets that they are associated with few UN subsidiaries to gain reference and people trust. I do not know how true it is, but I wonder why would the UN want to be associated with such dangerous and destructive cults ..??

Ask the UN!!!

I agree with Jann. Please write them a letter.

The BKs have grossly exaggerated their very minor connection with the UN for their own gain over decades and, I am told, have been censured for it by the UN. To have one, they have to demonstrate that "their programme of work is of direct relevance to the aims and purposes of the United Nations".

How can inspiring the scientists to kill 7 billion human beings in a nuclear war be "relevant" to the UN's work? More fraud, deception and manipulation.

The does-not-exist, has-faked-its-history, so called Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University is in "consultative status" with ECOSOC since 1998, in consultative status with UNICEF (targetting children), and affiliated to the Department of Public Information (DPI). They are also digging into the World Food Organization for the World Food Programme.

Note, an "association" with the Department of Public Information (DPI), does not allow participation, but does permit access to the UN. I think that was where the BKs stuck their crowbar in and opened up the world of VIP chasing.

To make a complaint, you should address it in a formal letter to:

Name: Mr. Andrei Abramov
Title: Chief, NGO Branch
Address: One UN Plaza, Room DC1-1480, New York, NY 10017, United States

They might be interested in the BK dowry grabbing and marrying 10,000s of teenage girls off to a spirit and a life of unpaid servitude, under the fear of the End of the World, with no escape.

Department of Public Information ...

The BK badly fails this criteria.

UN wrote:To be eligible for consultative status, an NGO must have ... a democratically adopted constitution, authority to speak for its members, a representative structure, appropriate mechanisms of accountability and democratic and transparent decision-making processes.

In short, the BKs are supposed to be doing the UNs, not the UN supporting and lending credibility to the BKs work.

In this report to the UN, here, they claim

II. Contribution of the organization to the work of the United Nations

The [BKWSU] promotes awareness of the purpose and principles of the United Nations. Its contributions are in the areas of the Millennium Development Goals and international decades and days. It contributed to the high-level dialogue on interreligious and intercultural understanding and cooperation for peace, convened by the General Assembly, on 4 and 5 October 2007, and to the commemoration of World Environment Day on 5 June 2009. The [BKWSU] is co-chair of the Values Caucus and has collaborated with the United Nations Environment Programme. It is also a member of many NGO networks.

If you a big joke, they are also getting into 7 Billion Actions campaign, a United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) funded global campaign building awareness around the opportunities and challenges of a world of seven billion people.

The BKs' answer?

Drop nuclear bombs on them so only 900,000 of them will inherit the Earth by 2036 ... they are all going to die anyway.

I think it will be a great idea to write to the UN and clarify the true nature, ideology and identity of BKWSU, which they may not be aware of or has been overlooked.

However, to give it more weight and serious consideration than an individual letter, it might be a good idea to initiate it in a form of campaign by "BK Info web site" members and readers, since this claimed association with the UN applies to BKWSU worldwide.

I think nice formal letters are better than emails. One can go from this site but people ought to send their own.

The more the better.

At the very least, the BKs will know that they know what we know ... and if they keep up the lies and deception, then it is only more bad karma for them.

Ditto, it is also worth writing to other major partner and VIPs as most of them have not got a clue what the BKs are really all about. There are Knowledge posters in the Library or Encyclopedia sections that you can download and include.

The BKWSU states to the United Nations ...

Significant changes in the organization

In 2007, the organization began a process of reviewing the needs of the Brahma Kumaris worldwide to assure these were met with the expansion of the organization and the growing complexity of the times. In 2008, the Management Committee of the organization adopted a Charter that describes and documents its international organizational structure, procedures and operating methods and sets out its governance mechanisms and the relationship of its centres worldwide.

The chief of staff of the international coordinating office is Jayanti Kripalani in London.

When I wrote to her, politely and formally, asking for copies of information relating to their international charter, procedures and operating methods ... she just ignore it. All she would say is "her role is to give spiritual guidance".

Therefore, I think they are bullshitting the United Nations who are swallowing it entirely.

There is no democracy and very little accountability within the BKWSU structure for followers. It is all run on the whim of the unquestionable leaders.

The thought that I would go to someone like Sister Jayanti Kripalani for "spiritual guidance" is beyond a joke.

The only thing I would like to know from her is whether she kept her family's money or whether she gave it all to the BKWSU ... because although they take money and property off their followers, when Jayanti's Father wanted her house back the BKs gave it him back quickly no questions asked whereas they fought other people in court to keep ahold of other property.

It is of interest what is being said here in these pages. The BK at the DPI level do not seem to be at all wrong. But at the ECOSOC level is a differing matter. By number BK do not, as required by UN, have:

1 a democratically adopted constitution
2 democratic and transparent decision making process
3 a representative structure

BK have very less followers who are called members, only some on committees etc. But there are many who give money and livelihood and free time who should be thought of and included in terms of representative structure that is 3 is not it ? So if people reading this want to write about this so it can be corrected people should write to Mr Abramov and the address is provided. It is good to write nicely as is said.

Thank you for your contribution.

You are quite right. I seem to remember the US BKWSO constitution states that the BKWSO has "no members".

Another typical, two faced BK contradiction? One face for the followers, another false mask for the VIPs?
