Thanks this has been very useful.I had some contact with Brama kumaris back in the 80s when I went to a meditation evening and was instantly suspicious of meditation that seemed more like an hypnotic induction.
Over the years I have had fleeting contact with them and nothing has dispelled my initial response indeed it has deepened.I think that as an organisation that they are deeply insidious and should be approached only with great care.
People involved with them are quite another matter and I find myself really concerned for them.This site is doing valuable work for people who are cautious enough to do a little independent research even if they did not smell the skunk in the cupboard.
Thanks for the site.
Have just come back from a 5 day retreat in Europe. Many of us felt so dopey the whole time, everyone was nodding off during the meditations, Murli etc. Also, I was envisaging in my meditations what they were preaching i.e. end of the world. I felt like I was in some kind of dream world, which was only dispelled after lunch on the last day and when I looked at my bed for the last time, I felt like I was escaping from some kind of state that is not normal for me.
So far what I have learnt has been really good for me and I will continue to take the good they have to offer, but with caution.

I also want to thank those who took the time to put up this website. It is truly instrumental in getting the word out to be extra cautious.
