Criteria | AdiShakti.org | Brahma Kumaris |
---|---|---|
1. Source of Revelation | 10/10 Revelation from the Adi Shakti incarnate, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, validated by Sahasrara awakening and spiritual phenomena. |
7.5/10 Teachings channeled through Dada Lekhraj (Brahma Baba), regarded as a medium for God Shiva, not as direct incarnation. |
2. Depth of Scriptural Integration | 10/10 Harmonizes and quotes from the Bible, Quran, Gita, Guru Granth Sahib, Devi Gita, and others—revealing unity in prophecy. |
5.5/10 Minimal use of traditional scriptures; Brahma Kumaris relies mainly on the Murli (spoken teachings) as sole authority. |
3. Universality & Interfaith Reach | 10/10 Centers on a universal message for all humanity—transcending religious labels through the Divine Feminine and Sahasrara opening. |
7.5/10 Teaches universal brotherhood of souls and a Supreme Soul (Shiv Baba), but does not engage deeply with other traditions' eschatology. |
4. Spiritual Experience Focus | 9.5/10 Verifiable mystical experiences of divine Light, cool breeze, inner voice, and Sahasrara meditation are central. |
7/10 Emphasizes soul consciousness and mental silence through Raja Yoga meditation—powerful but non-mystical. |
5. Fearlessness in Proclamation | 10/10 Openly declares the fulfillment of Qiyamah, Kalki, Second Coming, and universal spiritual transformation. |

9/10 Highly organized with worldwide centers, daily classes, public outreach, and media production. |
7. Integration of Divine Feminine | 10/10 The MahaDevi is central—declared as the Supreme Reality (ParaBrahman), both immanent and transcendent. |
5/10 Focus is on incorporeal Shiva as the Supreme; little recognition of the feminine as Divine beyond symbolic roles. |
8. Clarity on Self-Realization | 9.5/10 Clearly explained as union with the Divine via Kundalini awakening, Sahasrara opening, and divine vibrations. |
7/10 Soul consciousness and detachment are central, but lacks detailed metaphysical explanation of realization processes. |
9. Mystical Revelation | 10/10 Rich mystical accounts—divine Light, angelic visitations, dreams, and children’s visions—all aligned with scripture. |
5.5/10 Channeling through trance messengers, but no shared visionary experiences or mystical theology beyond Murli discourse. |
10. Theological Boldness | 10/10 Uncompromising in declaring fulfillment of spiritual epochs and prophecies—without allegiance to religious orthodoxy. |
5/10 Theologically reserved; avoids engagement with other religions or doctrinal debate. |
Overall Score (Average) | 9.3 / 10 Spiritually fearless, scripturally grounded, mystically rich, and theologically transformative. |
6.9 / 10 Disciplined and globally active, but limited by doctrinal insularity and lack of mystical openness. |
