The book is an easy read. Very clear exercises and imaginative. However, it doesn’t once mention that Sister Jayanti is one of the leaders of the doomsday cult called the Brahma Kumaris. The members believe that they and only they will be in the “Golden Age” (heaven). Not even Princess Diana, Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa, Jesus, Buddha, Moses, etc. will be in the Golden Age.
They have been told for over 70 years that the world will be coming to an end because this world can only last for 5,000 years. They were the biggest fools when nothing happened during Y2K. If they truly believed that the world is coming to an end, they wouldn’t be investing their time in the stock market or rolling over their IRAS. If the world is less than 5,000 years how can they explain the age of the pyramids, giant meteor craters, dinosaurs, continent shifts, etc. They simply cannot.
The Brahma Kumaris is a very secretive organization much like Scientology. Only the weathly and selective celebrities are given the VIP treatment. According to them, God told them only the rich are VIPs to God. The more money you give them “the greater your fortune”, which means the higher your position in heaven will be, otherwise you will be a servant. Servants in heaven?
Why would you want to waste your time in an organization that believes the only way to go to heaven is to be a vegetarian and remain celibate? They are forbidden to watch television or go to the movies, but many do so anyway. Most are in denial because they read newspapers, magazines, novels, eat in restaurants, attend concerts, exercise, shop, sit next to the opposite sex and even vote. All of these things are forbidden to those that want to go to the “Golden Age” (heaven). Who said you can’t go to heaven if you vote? They did.
Isn’t it no wonder that only the ones with high self-esteem and the ability to think for themselves seem to leave the Brahma Kumaris? If being with losers is your thing, or if you enjoy being in the company of diabetic obese men and women or people who are weak and sickly, or if you just want to be treated accordingly to your income, then the Brahma Kumaris is for you. If their members were happy, they wouldn’t leave the organization, nor would they commit suicide. Even the people in charge of the organization are unhappy and decide to leave so that they can enjoy a normal life.
Isn’t it a wonder that many decide to get married, or raise a family very shortly after leaving the Brahma Kumaris? Who wants to be unhappy? If you do, contact your nearest Brahma Kumaris and get ready for a boring unhappy life.
