Infos

Dive into the mystical world of the Brahma Kumaris with this compelling book that integrates anthropological rigour with a personal quest for spiritual truth. Drawing on extensive field research and rich personal narrative, Tamasin Ramsay explores purity as a transformative force, an ideal and an everyday practice. Through the experiences of four women, she examines how the concept of purity influences their lives and transcends cultural boundaries: their stories of struggle, revelation, and resilience highlight the impact of purity in fostering profound self-respect and peace. More than an academic study, this book invites readers to deeply engage with purity, urging a re-evaluation of this concept beyond the superficial towards a dynamic process that cultivates inner sovereignty and benevolence. The book explores BK Raja Yoga as a spiritual discipline seen by its members as essential for returning to one's core nature, linking personal transformation to broader change, and illustrating how individual clarity can resonate across communities. Custodians of Purity invites readers on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual authenticity in a world craving genuine connection.
