It also claims its practises are the "ancient" Raja Yoga despite only commencing post-1950.

Elements that are hidden from the general public and slowly introduced during the process of indoctrination. | + | Brahma Kumaris' so-called "World Spiritual University" promoted new and unique ideas based on messages received from mediumship and spirit chaneling.
