She said that she has been going to a retreat in Worthing, West Sussex, well.. she said "Have come across the Brahma Kumaris? They are a worldwide organisation, with a retreat here in worthing. Their philosophies are similiar to those of Buddhism and they see meditation as the key. Just curious to see if anyone else has heard of them and their teachings..."
Personally i've never heard of it but it does sound similar in name to 'Brahmas', i believe it was established about seventy years ago.
A twist on buddhism maybe? Something else?
