Re: Try to find the right way.
Dear peterbindi, enlightened and yogi108, While I share some of your concerns, for me it's a necessary outcome of the way this forum is organised, somewhere between a loosely-knit community and a bunch of strong-minded individuals. We aim to come together with mutual respect and understanding, shari...

Re: Remove the Spinter Groups
Hello yogi108, Did you mean the sphincter groups? :P I used to feel a bit like you and then moved on to being a bit bemused by it all. However, I only have to follow the latest contributions on the Mr Green Kumaris or BK DimOK's thread to cheer me up, so please let's keep them (and anyway the rest w...

Re: BK info balance
Hello ms orange, please don't give up on the forum. We especially need input from practising BK's to balance the sometimes very strong and direct ex-BK tendencies. Hello ex-lady, please, please don't (even implicitly) lay the blame for the various deficiencies which you (and we) see in BK-land at th...

Re: Having a partner, getting married & becoming a mum, dad etc
Hello enlightened, Welcome to the forum and thanks for your open and honest sharing. My BK story is quite different from yours, so I wouldn't presume to advise you. However, I've picked up two key points in what you have said: 1. God and your intuition saved you from the BK-life. He/she is always th...

Re: Was I imagining it?
Well done and congratulations Sarah - you're moving on, have had a real learning experience regarding (BK) detachment AND are still engaged with the forum! The other replies have given you the input and support you needed to get back over the threshold, so I don't feel the need to add anything to th...

Re: Karma - is it all so bad?
Dear Sarah, (Copied from other thread to give it emphasis) Please don't let the actions and words of one idiot affect your decision whether to engage with the forum or not. I know very little (and care even less) about the mechancis of moderation. However, no-one could have really read your initial ...

Re: Feeling a bit lost
Hello again Sarah, I am glad that you're still able to experience a peacful and loving connection with God. And I am not surprised that your BKs did not want to hear about it being better outside Murli class, since for most BKs the Murli is spoken by God. However, many western-bodied souls find the ...

Re: Feeling a bit lost
Hello Sarah, Like you I became involved with the BK around the time of my mid-life crisis. You will find many references elsewhere on this forum where the BK are less than helpful and sometimes downright harmful to people who are suffering from breakdown/depression etc. This is because they are not ...

Recent visit to BK centre after gap of 6 months
Would just like to share that I recently visited a BK centre after a gap of 6 months. It was the Cambridge meditation centre, pitched as Retreat by the River (Cam). I was pleased to find that none of my old anxiety and irritation was present. The meditation wasn't as strong as it perhaps was when I ...
