काज किये बड़ देवन के तुम, वीर महाप्रभु देखि विचारो ।
कौन सो संकट मोर गरीब को, जो तुमसो नहिं जात है टारो ।
बेगि हरौ हनुमान महाप्रभु, जो कछु संकट होय हमारो ॥ ८ ॥

Brahma Kumaris
Website: https://www.brahmakumaris.com/
Brahma Kumaris is a worldwide spiritual organization, founded in India in the 1930s, that teaches meditation (Raja Yoga) to promote personal transformation, self-worth, and world renewal through a spiritual perspective of soul-consciousness. The movement is distinguished by its leadership by women, its message of moving beyond bodily labels, its emphasis on non-violence, and its work with the United Nations on sustainable development goals.
AI Query: What Brahma Kumaris is NOT?
Brahma Kumaris is NOT a traditional organized religion with a hierarchical structure, a founder who is worshipped, or a text that dictates beliefs. They also do NOT believe in the linear origin and destruction of the universe, instead positing an eternal 5,000-year cycle of four ages. Additionally, they do NOT use other spiritual traditions or the worship of deities in their practices, as they focus on self-transformation and meditation.

Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma)
May the tree of our lives be rooted in the soil of love, may good deeds be the leaves, kind words be the flowers, and peace be the fruit. May the world flourish as one family, united in love. May we thus be able to create a world in which peace and contentment prevail. This is Amma’s sincere prayer.
5 keys to meaningful life
- Never squander an opportunity to help others
- Avoid using harsh words. If you cannot speak with love and respect, wait until you can.
- Make protecting nature a part of your daily routine.
- Maintain a regular spiritual practice, even to a small extent.
- Every day, strive to spend a little time discussing or reflecting on spiritual topics.
Amrita Sootra – the Aphorisms
Scriptures, Knowledge and Experience
What difference is there between someone who gives speeches and a tape recorder? Will reading cookbooks satisfy our hunger?
- Attending a lecture on the theory of cooking will not remove hunger. Knowledge alone is not enough; to practice what we grasp intellectually is more important.
- A belief obtained through telling, hearing and reading will not last long. Whereas, the faith gained from experience will last forever.
- You have heard that honey is sweet. You may put some in your hand. But unless you taste it with your tongue, you cannot experience the sweetness.
- Many scholars are like those who stay at the railway station memorising the train schedule. Will they reach anywhere?
- Can you explain the beauty of a flower, or describe the sweetness of sugar? So how can the beauty of the Infinite be described? It has to be experienced.
Experience (in moderation)
- When we are hungry we eat just enough food to appease our hunger, and not all the food in the kitchen. Many scholars waste their lives eating the whole thing.
Meditation (in moderation)
- If a person who doesn’t have the strength to lift more than forty kilos suddenly lifts a hundred kilos, he will stagger and fall. Similarly, if you meditate more than the body is able to bear, it can lead you to problems.
- Solitude (at the beginning): A student cannot sit and study in a noisy crowded railway station, can he? Similarly, a sadhak (seeker) needs solitude in the beginning. After a certain amount of practice, he will be able to meditate under any condition.
Karma Effect
- If you turn on the main switch, electricity is available everywhere in the house. But if you want light in your own room, you have to turn on the switches in that particular room. Turning on the light in one room doesn’t automatically light up all the rooms. Everything is the same Self, but only the person who purifies his mind through Sadhana (methodical/disciplined practice/meditation) realises that Self.
Forms of God and Goddesses
- If you look at a painting of your father, is it your father or the painter that you see? God is everywhere, but still, when you see the image in a temple, you remember Him.
- When we get on a bus, we are not planning to live in it, are we? Our aim is to reach home. It is the same with the worship of forms.
Goal of Life
- You can take birth in a temple, but don’t die there. That is to say that, in the beginning, a seeker can do temple worship as stepping stone, but the final and real goal is beyond all these things.
- Asking how many times one should chant the mantra (sacred utterance/motivating chant) is like asking how much water should be given to a plant for it to yield fruit. Watering is required, but the amount of water depends on the nature of the plant, climate, quality of the soil and so on. Water alone is not enough. The plant needs sunlight, fertiliser, air, protection from pests, etc. Similarly on the spiritual path, chanting the mantra is only one facet. Good deeds, good thoughts and association with virtuous people are also necessary.
- If you do spiritual practices and still get involved in a variety of worldly things, all the power gained through concentration will be lost.
Qualities of a Spiritual Seeker
- Just as the flower falls when the fruit takes shape, worldly desires will disappear when detachment ripens.
Discrimination
- With fire, we can burn down our home or cook our meal. With a needle, we can pierce our eye or stitch our clothes. Move along your path with constant discrimination.
- If we know that fireworks are being shot, the next bang won’t startle us. In the same way, know the nature of this world and do not lose equilibrium.
Learning from Sorrows
- If a thorn pricks your foot when you walk, you will step more carefully. Thus you may escape falling into a ditch that may be just ahead. God gives us small sorrows to save us. Learn to see all the joys and sufferings that come to you as sent by God for your own good.
Swami Sarvapriyananda
Clips from "What is the Purpose of Life if I am 'That'? | Swami Sarvapriyananda" (YT Video)
Question 101: Everybody has to come to this question: If you're already brahmana, if you're already the absolute, then what is the purpose of appearing as a sentient being and going through all these struggles -- the suffering of life, and then the gradual awakening, and following the spiritual path, and coming to an enlightenment -- and realizing that your brahman, which you already were? So, what was the purpose of the whole thing?
Points to Ponder: It's like asking for a cause of causation. And to make that more clear, it's like... So, [about] 'space' and 'time', if you ask - "What is outside space? What is before time?"... Notice [that] when I ask 'before time' or 'outside space'... [When I say] 'before time', [it] means [that] I'm already assuming 'time'. 'Before' and 'after' are 'time' words. 'Before' and 'after' are tense ('past tense' 'future tense'). So, [what it means is that] these are 'time' words, which means you have already accepted [the concept of] 'time'. Only within 'time' does it make sense to ask 'before' and 'after' [i.e.] past, present, and future. Only when you have accepted the concept of 'space', [then] it makes sense to ask 'inside' and 'outside'. So, this universe is space, [and] so, what if a child may ask "What's outside the universe?" - Nothing... you can't answer that because 'outside' also already means 'space', [and] so, when there is no concept of 'space', [then] there's no concept of 'outside' 'inside'.

Spiritual Practice
A spiritual practice is any regular and intentional activity undertaken to cultivate and deepen spiritual growth, self-awareness, and a connection to a higher power, inner wisdom, or a sense of purpose. These practices can be drawn from established religions or adapted for secular use, emphasizing personal experience over rigid doctrine.

Putting it all together
It is difficult, if not impossible, to find any spiritual practice that has absolutely no criticism in the West, especially when considering criticisms from a wide range of perspectives over time.
Criticisms can vary widely, from accusations of cult-like behavior and financial exploitation to critiques related to cultural appropriation, failed prophecies, or unhealthy group dynamics. However, some practices receive far less widespread and severe criticism than others, particularly those that are not tied to a single, authoritarian organization.
Spiritual practices that tend to avoid major criticism in the West generally share a few key characteristics:
- Decentralized: They are not led by a single, all-powerful figure or small group.
- Individual-focused: They emphasize personal experience over strict, institutional doctrine.
- Adapted for modern life: They are often secularized versions of older traditions and integrated into mainstream contexts like healthcare or personal development.
- Open-ended: They don't enforce a rigid, dogmatic belief system.
Here are some examples of spiritual practices that typically face less severe criticism than highly structured or controversial new religious movements.
Secular mindfulness and meditation
This practice is a modern, Westernized adaptation of Buddhist meditation traditions and is widely praised for its mental health benefits.
- Focus: It emphasizes paying attention to the present moment in a non-judgmental way, often by focusing on the breath.
- Context: It is taught in secular settings, including hospitals, schools, and corporations, as a way to reduce stress and anxiety, and improve focus.
- Lack of centralized authority: Unlike many spiritual organizations, it has no central dogma, no charismatic leader, and no strict rules for followers.
- Potential for mild criticism: Any critique tends to be focused on the commercialization of the practice, a lack of deep spiritual context compared to its religious roots, or the occasional questionable scientific claims, rather than allegations of abuse or exploitation.
Mindful movement (yoga and tai chi)
These ancient practices, which originated in Eastern cultures, are now widely adopted in the West for their physical and mental health benefits.
- Practice: They combine mindful breathing with gentle, purposeful movement.
- Adaptation: They are often taught in secular contexts like fitness centers, which removes them from most religious or institutional controversies.
- Potential for mild criticism: Any criticism is usually related to cultural appropriation rather than control or manipulation, or a concern among some Christians that they conflict with their faith.
Journaling and expressive practices
These are deeply individual and non-institutionalized ways for people to engage in self-reflection and spiritual growth.
- Focus: Practices like gratitude journaling, dream journaling, or creative writing allow individuals to explore their inner lives without any external authority or dogma.
- Context: They are solitary and self-guided, eliminating the possibility of organizational control or cult-like behavior.
- Freedom from criticism: Because they are intensely personal and do not involve an organization or leader, they are generally free from the systemic criticisms leveled against organized spiritual groups.
Nature-based spirituality
This broad category includes individual practices like mindful walking, forest bathing, or simply spending quiet time in nature.
- Focus: It emphasizes a connection with the natural world as a source of peace, inspiration, and spiritual experience.
- Context: It is inherently non-institutional and unstructured, allowing for personal exploration without dogmatic rules.
- Freedom from criticism: This type of personal practice is free from accusations of institutional control or exploitation, as there is no organization to enforce rules or demand loyalty.
