What are the principles and teachings of Brahma Kumaris?
We do not have religious rituals and worship idols and images nor do we do any havan. We believe in Shri Krishna, Shri Rama, Shri Lakshmi and Shri Narayana, but we consider them only as deities i.e. human beings who had maximum divine virtues. We do not recite any Sanskrit shlokas (verses), do not have any rosary in hand. We mainly dwell on giving up sex-lust, anger, greed, attachment, ego, malice, laziness and blind faith. Our teachings mainly comprise four subjects: gnan (knowledge), rajyog (meditation), dharna (power) and seva (actions). It is important for you to not only understand, but to also digest the gnan that is imparted. Only then you are in a position to keep your thoughts pure and your mind away from negative things. Once you achieve this, you come to the stage of rajyoga. This is the most important weapon. Here, you improve your concentration. Next comes dharna. Once your personality is developed by meditation, there are certain values you imbibe. Your mannerisms change.
