Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2019- Greetings from Sister Sheilu of Madhuban

Season Greetings from BK Nirwair, Madhuban: 24 December

27 December 2018

 

Om Shanti to our dear BK sisters and brothers across the world,


Please accept hearty Godly love and remembrances from Shantivan-Madhuban.

I am sure all of you must be enjoying your spiritual life while going about your daily routine. As we approach the end of the year, please accept hearty greetings for a Merry Christmas, and a very Happy & Prosperous New Year!! 

Christmas is symbolic of creating new consciousness, and the New Year encourages us to have new resolutions in life. I am very happy that many BKs are following a special spiritual endeavour on how to be a Mahadani, that is a Great Bestower or Spiritual Philanthropist. To be a Mahadani we have to practise the stage of being Nirvikari (Viceless). These two aspects of spiritual consciousness are very important in our day-to-day life. A person who has inculcated the virtues of purity, peace, love, and spiritual wisdom is a great soul, and further becomes a Great Bestower since they act as a living light-house of spiritual values. They are able to guide the ship of another's life in the right direction, and inspire others to live with pure and positive consciousness. 

The Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, was a Messenger of God to bring us the message of love, peace, and service onto others. It is our duty to first become full of these virtues and attributes, and then become philanthropists to share the same with others. We human souls are children of God, and as Christ shared, "God created human beings in His own image..." so let us live our lives accordingly. 

May all of you become ever-healthy, ever-wealthy and ever-happy! You are examples for others, so continue to bestow much love, share your happiness, and sustain those in need. Christmas is a great occasion and we can celebrate it by celebrating our own lives.

With loving good wishes from our Respected Dadis and all Madhuban Niwasis,

With Baba's love,
BK Nirwair
Madhubanr

Letter of thanks for the Global Summit-cum-Expo at Shantivan Plus Downloadable pdf of Souvenir

16 October 2018

 
Om Shanti, Divine Family, Greetings of Peace!
 
At the conclusion of our Global Summit-cum-Expo, when we assess its glory and an appreciative media (Print, electronic as well as social) coverage, we find that the main reason for its success was the Blessings of our Dadis and senior brothers and sisters along with the benign presence, wishes, support and cooperation of the Brahmin family.
 
We express our most sincere sense of gratitude to all divine brothers and sisters and hope that this unconditional support will continue in the furtherance of BapDada’s message and mission.  
 
Equally inspiring, educative and encouraging has been the participation and thought provoking addresses of our VIP guests and speakers. The Brahma Kumaris organization and myself feel highly obliged and grateful to the guests like the Hon’ble Union Home Minister, Sh. Rajnath Singh Ji, Hon’ble Chief Justice of India Justice Sh. Dipak Misra Ji, Hon’ble Union Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment Sh. Thawer Chand Gehlot, Hon'ble Sh. Ram Shinde, Hon'ble Mrs Rita Bahuguna, Hon'ble Sh. Nand Gopal ji, Dr. B.R Shetty (Abu Dhabi), Ms. Marla Maples (USA), Ms. Rolonda Watts (USA), Ms. Kuleshova Liudmila (Russia),  Mrs. Ara (Nigeria), Dr. Vandana Shiva, Padamshri Dr. Prakash Baba Amte, Mr. Ayappa Masagi, Dr. Sindhutai Sapkal, Ms. Nivedita Varshneya, Padamshri Dr. Kartikeya Sarabhai, Ms. Gracy Singh, Mr. Ricky Kej and his troupe and many other participants almost from all spheres of our social, cultural, spiritual and ecological field of life. No doubt we are highly thankful to all of them for their motivating and galvanizing magnetic presence on this occasion. 
 
The speakers’ words of practical wisdom not just reflected a deep understanding of life and the thematic argument of the Summit but their manner of persuading listeners to follow these principles in their life has been very convincing. Their appreciation of the Brahma Kumaris for their message of love and peace and a healthy synthesis of Science and Spirituality for attaining a sustainable environment is an impetus for us all to work more dedicatedly and vigorously towards the goal.
 
We again express our most sincere and indebted gratitude to all the brothers and sisters at all our centres and also at their places and also hope for similar cooperation and support in the coming future. 
 
May Bapdada continue to shower His Love and Blessings upon all of us and fill us with power as we continue in our efforts to reveal His knowledge.

Grand Inauguration of Global Summit-Cum-Expo on “Science, Spirituality and Environment" in Shantivan

02 October 2018

 

Abu Road (Raj): The Global Summit-Cum-Expo on “Science, Spirituality and Environment” was inaugurated at Brahma Kumaris Headquarters, Abu Road (near Mt Abu), Rajasthan, by Honorable Chief Justice of India, Justice Dipak Mishra; Honorable Home Minister of India, Mr. Rajnath Singh; Joint Chief of Brahma Kumaris, Rajyogini Dadi Ratan Mohini; with the august presence of eminent personalities and more than 10,000 delegates from 140 countries.

A Message was sent by Honorable President of India, Mr. Ramnath Kovind, and the Honorable Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi, for the success of the summit.

Mr Rajnath Singh, Hon. Home Minister of India, talked about mind, spirituality, science and Indian Culture in his 15-minute address. He said that Circumference of mind is directly proportional to the magnitude of happiness, the magnitude of bliss. In order to carry out a big task, one needs to have a big heart. A man with a small heart cannot do a big task. The bigger the heart, the more joy shall be in your life. A person does not become spiritual by merely praying in the church. As a person goes on doing big things, he continues to achieve the spiritual heights in his life. Along with offering prayers in temples or mosques, one needs to grow his heart. The bigger the heart, the more one would be spiritual. The Brahma Kumaris teach how to have a bigger heart. How big a heart would the Chief Administrator Dadi Janki and Dadi Ratan Mohini be having that they are taking care of such a big family. They have expanded the organization to 146 countries with the support of so many sisters. What a government is unable to do, the Brahma Kumaris are doing.

The Home Minister said that the United Nations has expressed concern over even small things. The organization is working on Cleanliness, Organic Farming, Solar Energy, Woman Empowerment. The organization is not only concerned about humans but also about humanity and living beings. On the 80th Annual celebration, the organization planted 80 lakh trees, sending a message of saving the environment.

The Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that the sages of our country discovered the zero and spirituality. Science, Spirituality and religion are contrary to each other; this is a belief of the western world. Bharat believes science and spirituality to be complements of each other and that they are one. Charak, Arohak, Sushupt, Aryabhatt were great sages as well as great scientists.

Justice Dipak Mishra, Hon. Chief Justice of India, said, “I feel the sense of peace here. We want universal peace and each of you are a great ambassador of peace. Science tells you about what is happening in the universe. Physical morality matters the most, if we intend to have a clean, clear, unpolluted universe. If everyone in the world believes and practices physical morality, there will be prevalence of environmental morality. 80 lakh plants were planted by the organization; if you are planting a seed of morality, that is spiritual morality. Once peace is with yourself, there will be peace in the world. We want peace in the world, a good environment in the world and a scientific research-oriented spirituality which is going to advance the world on the path of peace. The effort of the Brahma Kumars is to make the world a place of belonging. All of us belong to this world, universe, so we need to be partners of construction, rather than destruction. You are Constructive in creating a peaceful world.”

“Desire gets into necessity, necessity gets into need. Need gets a Ph.D. when it is said ‘I want it.’ The moment I say I want it, peace of mind is gone and the sense of spirituality is lost. Science is absolutely relevant to conscious of mind, soul and heart. When Science and spirituality travel together with a philosophical approach, man can create wonders by transforming himself from ordinary man, by finding his true self with God. Science can grow with the aid of spirituality. God or Almighty loves all of us, looks after us. God never scares anyyone. When you surrender Ego, you can connect to God. Purity of this organisation is helping everyone move forward in spirituality,” he added.

Marla Maples, Television Personality and Actress, USA, said that America is facing many challenges these days, but the wonderful people and friends around us fill our lives with joy. That has happened because she has included Kundalini Yog, meditation of the Brahma Kumaris, and a vegetarian diet in her routine. While addressing the Global Summit, Marla said that all of us can progress, move ahead, stay together, many thanks to God for this. Marla said that she has tasted many types of food, but vegetarian food is the best among all. A non-vegetarian diet harms the environment too.

Padamshri Kartikeya Sarabhai, Founder and Director of Center for Environment Education, said that we need to follow our old traditions and go with the new technologies simultaneously in order to save the environment. A man feels that nature is at his disposal. This thought pattern is not right. Mahatma Gandhi said that we need to use nature as a trustee. Remembering the Founder of the Brahma Kumaris, Brahma Baba, he said that many decades ago, Brahma Baba saw the devastation caused by atomic bombs, nature and human conflicts by his divine vision; we are witnessing them practically now. In order to save the environment, we will have to take only that much from nature as is required.

Rajyogini Dadi Ratan Mohini, Joint Chief Administrator of the Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu said that “all of us are children of God and hence brothers. Hence, we must co-operate with each other and make each other happy. We must never hold revenge, envy or jealousy for others. There was a golden age in Bharat where there was joy, peace and bliss everywhere. There was no trace of unrighteousness. We can again create a Golden world by making our actions divine.”

Executive Secretary of the Brahma Kumaris and Program Co-ordinator BK Mrutyunjaya said the organization is running a Cleanliness Drive all over the country between September 15 and October 2.

Mr. Thawar Chand Gehlot, Hon. Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment, Govt. of India said that the organization is making efforts towards materializing the visualization of Global peace, Vasudhev Kutumbakam, Live and Let live and motivating the masses to follow the righteous path. The reason behind an increase in anxiety and problems in the present world is due to our distancing from spirituality. Without adopting spirituality, the vision of Global peace, ‘Sarve Santu Niramaya,’ cannot be realized.

Dr. Sindhutai Sapkal, the Mother of Orphans, Pune who is looking after 1,050 children in Bangalore, said that we need to always learn to move ahead in life, not to stop. We need to listen to our heart, a shroud does not have pockets, no one ever recommends death. One needs to learn to renounce.

Sister BK Munni, the General Manager of the Brahma Kumaris, said, “I have learned from life to respect all, old or young. Take oneself to be an instrument. We need to have an attitude of benefit for all.”

Brother BK Brij Mohan, Additional Secretary General of the Brahma Kumaris, Delhi said that Raja Yoga meditation teaches us life skills. Thousands of brothers and sisters have experienced this.

Candle Lighting (Deep Prajavalan), Cake Cutting, Flag Hoisting, Release of Souvenir of Journey of Brahma Kumaris, Distribution of Prizes to the Top Artists of the National Painting Contest-cum-Workshop, Inauguration of a Beautiful exhibition on “Science, Spirituality and Environment,” and the presence of Justice Dipak Mishra, Chief Justice of India, were other highlights of the summit. Along with paintings made by more than 500 renowned artists from all over India, the history of the Brahma Kumaris and the services extended to society over the last 82 years have been very beautifully displayed in the exhibition on Science and Spirituality. Renowned actress Gracy Singh staged a marvelous dance with her team, and Diamond Hall echoed with the applause.

The stage was well co-ordinated by BK Asha, Director of ORC, Gurugram. Mr Otaram Dewasi, Minister- Gopalan Department, Government of Rajasthan; Mr Jagasi Ram Koli, MLA; Mrs. Payal Parasrampuria, District President, Sirohi; Ms. Anupama Jorwal, Collector, and other eminent personalities were present on this occasion.

Mr. Ramesh P. Tanna quoted the example of Mahatma Gandhi and said, “Gandhiji’s journalism was aimed at social welfare. That which involves people and is for the people’s welfare is true journalism. The number of pages in Newspapers is never effective; rather what is written in it is very important and that really counts.”
 
BK Atma Prakash stated, “When there is spirituality in our life there come the values. Media with moral values is possible only when persons have moral values. If Media personnel transform one by one then thousands of observers will also get changed automatically because you have the Power of Pen with you.” He said, “Make your life joyful because Self transformation is the real and strong foundation for entire world transformation.”
 
BK Yudhishtir said that spirituality is the only solution for all problems.
 
BK Supriya narrating her own experience mentioned, “Raja Yoga meditation has magical powers that emerges out Intrinsic powers and energies.”  She then shared details of the BK Daily e-Newspaper being published from Mount Abu.
 
BK Sunita conducted a guided Raja Yoga meditation practically, giving everyone an experience of deep inner peace. BK Narendra, Sub Zonal Co-ordinator from Vadodara, gave full details of the conference. BK Manju, Raja Yoga Teacher from Bilaspur, led the program quite efficiently.
 
BK Karam Chand, Zonal Co-ordinator, Punjab, expressed his gratitude and thanked everyone for their participation.
 
Deliberating through four open sessions, three inter-disciplinary dialogue sessions, two insight sessions, three spiritual wisdom and meditation sessions, including speaker-audience interaction, the following 8-Point Resolution was unanimously adopted in the Valedictory Session of the Conference. Everyone was of the common opinion that building a better world is possible only by Self-transformation, mainly the Media personnel.
 
8-Point Resolution
 
1)    An Enlightened Media means enlightened journalists who can be powerful instruments for positive change in building a better life and society on the earth.
 
2)    An enlightened media which calls for the cultivation of innate wisdom, inner powers and core values among journalists, can be possible with the adoption of spiritual knowledge, Rajyoga meditation, and positive and healthy lifestyle in the daily lives of media professionals.
 
3)    An enlightened and spiritually empowered media needs to focus more on developmental and societal issues like human rights, education, dignity, fraternity, peace, health, socio-economic equity & justice, environmental cleanliness, and ecological harmony.
 
4)    An enlightened media needs to play a proactive role in the elimination of gender discrimination, female feticide, sexual and domestic violence, to restore honor and dignity of the female section of the society.
 
5)    An enlightened media ought to inspire and motivate the self and the public to some degree and measure of self-introspection, self-analysis, self-audit, self-regulation, self-discipline and self-development by putting a priority on collective social interest over that of individual self-interest.
 
6)    It is incumbent on an enlightened media to practice, promote and spread the culture of value-based media and positive journalism so as to serve the interest of the weak, voiceless, neglected and exploited sections of society and to contain the scourge of political pressures, vested interests and negativity in today’s mass media.
 
7)    An enlightened media need to work in coordination and consonance with like-minded citizens, journalists and organizations like the Brahma Kumaris, the Society of Media Initiative for Values, the Global Forum for Public Relations, etc., to promote moral values, character and ethical conduct among people.
 
8)    An enlightened media with the help of like-minded public and journalistic forums need to organize workshops, seminars, conferences, and start awareness campaigns across the country to sensitize working and aspiring media professionals on the merits and holistic benefits of value-based journalism.

Dear Divine Angels,

The IT Wing of Brahma Kumaris organized a national-level conference at the Global Auditorium in the Manmohinivan complex from 7th Sept 2018 to 10th Sept 2018 on  "Rejuvenate with Peace". It is our fortune, to have had the presence of Rajyogini Dadi Janaki Ji, who gave a special address to all participants and redefined IT as Internal Transformation,  which is the key to bringing the world a better future. The program was designed to work through the flow of 3 aspects: Reflect, Rethink and Rejuvenate.  Accordingly, there were about 9 sessions organized on various topics and facilitated by eminent senior BK facilitators.  

 The participants were given exposure to the some of  following, to list  a few,  through various sessions:

  •     Simple techniques to help channelize the power of our thoughts as a means of Leading the mind
  •     How spirituality can help to make our lives better through Q&A sessions with queries around current problems what the IT fraternity facing in general as well as how to improve on the work-life balance.
  •     The significance of self-empowerment according to the present time to prepare oneself in the current world of uncertainty
  •     Meditation Lab - a novel approach to experience the effect of meditation by directing the mind with kind thoughts generated at different situations
  •     Leaders from industry sharing their authentic experience as an example to bring positivism in their personal/ professional life
  •     Immunity power of the soul and how to tackle the psychosomatic effects using the soul power
  •     The significance  of having the right consciousness for the better future
  •     How we can create a new lifestyle that is simple, satvik and well-refined, which can also influence other souls to follow it

The conference was attended by more than 550 participants, covering about 100+ organizations at the national level, including IBM, Oracle, McAfee, TCS, Cognizant, etc. to name a few and also financial institutions and government bodies like NIC etc.

Apart from this,  there was an exclusive by-invitation-only session organized for about 20 leaders at the CXO level.  In this session, a special discussion was held on how to create healthy minds in the organization through value-based meditations, with some examples given.  The focus was to improve the happiness index and organization productivity while reducing the attrition rate.   Active participation by the CXOs has encouraged us to take this aspect further with follow-up plans. The conference was glorified with the dedicated service offered by more than 100 sevadharis at the national level, who tirelessly served through more than 30 departments and truly made this event a grand success. 

Once again, Bapdada's constant and continuous support has accomplished the goal of the conference. Every participants has given excellent feedback reflecting a sense of fulfillment.

Bhog Message for Dadi Prakashmaniji's 11th Anniversary - Shantivan - 25 August

27 Aug 2018

 

Beloved Avyakt BapDada’s specially beloved instrument teachers who are always engaged in the unlimited service of world benefit, all brothers and sisters who are the decoration of the Brahmin clan, please accept God’s sweet love-filled remembrance.

Dadi Prakashmaniji, specially loved by all of us, who placed her steps on the footsteps of sakar mother and father, one who sustained the whole Brahmin family while keeping a balance of love and law, one who ruled everyone’s hearts – the 11th Anniversary of Dadiji was celebrated as “World Brotherhood Day”. From Manmohini complex in Shantivan to Om Shanti Bhawan in Mount Abu, an international half-marathon had begun on 19th August in memory of the Day of Remembrance of Dadi Prakashmaniji. 1500 brothers and sisters from all over the world took part in this with a lot of zeal and enthusiasm and three winners were specially awarded.  Various other programmes were held for VIPs and journalists from Abu and Abu Road.  Everyone gathered at Prakash Stambh in Shantivan to offer their tributes. Everyone had Brahma bhojan and all were given a gift from the yagya.

On this occasion, 15,000 couples from all over Bharat who were 3 to 19 years in knowledge took part in a special yoga-bhatthi for couples titled “Nastamoha Smriti Labdha” (The Conqueror of Attachment and the Embodiment of Remembrance). On 24th August brothers and sisters who took sustenance from Dadiji shared their memories of being in close company with Dadiji.  On 25th, after the special murli and class, all senior brothers and sisters and teachers went to Prakash Stambh and offered their tributes with garlands of flowers.  Then all the mothers and brothers went around the Prakash Stambh offering their flowers while lost in love for Dadiji. At 10.30am, respected Nirwairbhai shared his experiences with Dadiji on her skilled leadership.  At 12.00 noon, Shashiben offered special bhog to BapDada for Dadiji, and the message from the subtle regions is as below:

 

Today, when I reached Baba in the subtle regions, I saw that along with beloved Baba, our sweet Dadiji was also standing there and opposite them were many brothers and sisters who had arrived there with garlands in their hands. They were garlanding Dadji and offering their tributes to her. Dadiji smiled and said: Now, we don’t need this tribute, but each one now has to become complete and perfect. Now, let each one keep their perfect form in front of them and make such effort. Now, at the confluence age, let there be a gathering of angels and only then will there be a gathering of those who have a right to the kingdom.

After some time, along with Dadiji, the whole advance party also appeared and each one’s face was sparkling with light as though they were stable in their complete and perfect form. In the midst of them all, Dadiji was visible beautifully decorated and standing like a goddess on the stage. Below the specially beloved deity form of Dadiji there was very beautiful wording “An embodiment of all success”. After that, this scene became merged. I could then see four to five gates just ahead and through them I could see people from different professions. In the middle of that was a very simple gate and there were many people at that gate. As Dadiji looked at them, light began to fall on all of them. I asked: Dadiji who are these particular people? Dadiji said: All of these are helpers in God’s task, the ones with honesty and cleanliness, Baba’s children who have only thoughts of God in their heart. Those who were at the other gates also came in front and they also formed a beautiful garland, and it was as though all of them were making a promise that all of them together would be co-operative in the task of world transformation.

Baba then said: This child has created such a gathering. Every thought of this child has become practical and this is why she is an embodiment of success. Dadiji said: Baba, I didn’t do anything, but You were the One who inspired it all. Hearing such a sweet heart to heart conversation, I then asked Dadiji: Dadiji, what are you doing now? You are now ten to eleven years old.  Dadiji began to smile and said: Baba takes all of us on a tour all over the world every day at amrit vela and enables us to give sakaash to everyone. All my companions of the advance party check the plans for world transformation and also make corrections on them. I go on a tour with the group. Now, all of you also have to get yourselves ready quickly and then go into your new world. Every now and then, Baba sends me in the midst of all of you too and I see everything.

Dadiji was speaking in this way with a lot of love. Then I gave her remembrances from all of you. I especially gave remembrance of all of those who have come for the couple’s bhatthi, and Dadiji said: Now, all of you have to make intense effort and move forward. You have to make yourselves complete.  Giving remembrance to the Madhuban residents Dadiji said: Madhuban is the centre of attraction for the world. Baba has created a beautiful place and everyone looks at the Madhuban residents with an elevated vision – they have to become an example in front of everyone.

Then I said: Dadiji, tomorrow is the Festival of Rakhi and you used to tie rakhi on everyone with a lot of love. Today, Munniben has sent a rakhi for you. Dadiji took the rakhi in her hand and began to tie it on Baba, and just then the thread of the rakhi began to get bigger and bigger so that everyone became tied in that rakhi. Then Baba said: Baba and the children can never be separated. A very beautiful light was emerging from that rakhi and a blessing was written in that light saying “An image of success and an embodiment of total result” (sidhi swaroop, safalta murat bhav). Baba said: Children, in order to achieve success, belong to One, always be co-operative in the task of the One, and be united in one direction in the gathering. Now, according to the time, each one has to be stable in their complete and perfect form and give everyone a vision of Baba collectively. Now there is a need for this service.

Then I said Dadiji, I have specially brought bhog of the yagya for you. When I placed the plate in front of her, Dadiji gave it drishti and then took something in her hand and fed Baba, and then Baba fed Dadiji. Then seeing all of us there Baba said: Open your mouths, and it was as though Dadiji was feeding everyone bhog. Our Dadi Janki, Dadi Gulzar and all senior brothers and sisters were emerged in the subtle region. Then Dadiji said: Just as all of you are co-operative companions and are enabling service to move forward, continue to do so. Baba is always with you anyway. Saying this, Baba and sweet Dadiji gave everyone a lot of love and remembrance.

 

In the evening, the children from Ghatkopar presented a beautiful drama and dance performance highlighting Dadiji’s life.  Some brothers and sisters shared their experiences of living closely with Dadiji.

Today is the pure festival of Raksha bandhan.  Everyone has their rakhi tied with a lot of love and they make a promise of a determined thought within themselves.  In today’s avyakt murli, sweet Baba has gifted all of us a garland of blessings. Definitely, all of you must be wearing (imbibing) this garland of blessings.

1)    With contentment, constantly remain content and make everyone content.

2)    Always have a simple and easy nature, speak simple words and perform actions with simplicity.

3)    Always follow the directions of One, receive all attainments from the One and belonging to One, practise constantly being stable.

4)    Always remain happy and continue to share happiness and spread the wave of happiness.

5)    Let there always be a smile of happiness on your face and constantly continue to progress in remembrance.


Let this garland of blessings always be around your neck.  Achcha.

Lots and lots of remembrance and hearty greetings for Raksha Bandhan.
