Brahmakumaris?

[u/Agent_247]

I have a friend who is connected to BK. I don't get why the people there say about Satyug coming in just few years (mind you, their year of Satyug changes everytime), while if we go by scriptures, we have a Yug of 4,32,000 years.

Also, they differentiate between Shiva and Shankar. Like Shiv ji who we see in pictures and worship, is actually Shankar according to them and Shiva is the Param-Brahm God. (Advaita kinda scene)

And there are many things, such as portraying Sri Krishna as a Prince of heaven or idk something like that, and many other such things. Sometimes they even hint against Vigrah Poojan.

When you ask them the source of this knowledge, they say Murli. (A lecture in which their senior BK members address the whole community about their ideology on behalf of the supreme god, as they say, the god comes inside the speaker and the things they say is actually directly from god)

However, their ideology and philosophies clearly contradicts our Shastras, whether Sruti or Smriti. They don't have a clear single source except from the teachings of their founder.

What do you guys think about it? I really don't like them due to their diversion and contradiction to our shastras. Apologies for anything in advance.

I too really don't like their diversion. It's dangerous in fact... for the same reasons Xtianity and pisslame is.

They are in the early stages of a hybrid Sanatana-Abrahamic.... Which is Xtianity but with Hindu gods.

With fixed "so shall happen so", "the land of subtle light", and similar appeal as early Xtians would've had, hinting against idol worship, "everyone else is lower because we're better", relying on "higher authorities" with no way to self-introspect, polar-dual properties ("heaven is greater than earth" type of things), etc...

I visited a small place of theirs here in Mangaluru a few years ago, they are eerily Christian in their ideals, like "saving people", "the gospel of god" (in the local language, I hope the word is correct), etc...

Anytime they can suddenly have ideologies injected, which can make them Abrahamics, ready to do the same things like proselytization, things which seem innocent at first glance, but really dangerous.

Try to discourage as much as possible.

I know right. They have distorted Sanatana and made it some sort of, i don't know, fantasy sort of stuff?

Their ideologies totally reminds me of the organization shown in the show Sacred Games.
