Dates for Madhuban Season 2019/20
08 July 2019
Season’s dates and Double Foreigners Program
Madhuban is welcoming us and this season we have the fortune of 11 groups for the Avyakt meetings. Below is a schedule of dates for the 2019-2020 season
As you will see below, the full season for double foreigners will start with the Avyakt Meeting on 30 November, with smaller groups welcome for 17 October and 15 November Avyakt Meetings.
Groups One & Two: 17 October and 15 November 2019 Avyakt Meetings
Due to a continuous number of guest retreats in Gyan Sarovar and festivals from mid-October to early December, all of the rooms in Harmony House, Vishnupuri and Shanti Kunj Bhawan will be occupied by guests, BK companions for guests, helpers and IP/VIP Bharatwasi guests.
Therefore, during this time, for BKs who are not helping with the retreats and are coming for the season, only dormitory-style accommodation will be available in Raj Rishi Bhawan (Gyan Sarovar) and Pandav Bhawan. As only a limited number can be accommodated we wish to offer these places to those groups who can adjust with dormitories.
A small number of Hindi-speaking BKs can be accommodated in Shantivan for 17 October and 15 November meetings. This group may have day visits to Pandav Bhawan and Gyan Sarovar, but would not be able to stay.
The numbers are:
- 50 DFs in Gyan Sarovar (who are willing to stay in Raj Rishi Bhawan dormitories)
- 100 DFs in Pandav Bhawan (who are willing to stay in dormitories)
- 100 DFs in Shantivan (Hindi-speaking DFs)
Therefore the allocation is as follows:
- Gyan Sarovar and Pandav Bhawan: 30 per region
- Shantivan: 20 per region
Please let your NC office know how many BKs wish to come for these groups by 15 July. The NC office will liaise with the RC to confirm those spaces or otherwise.
Group Three: 30 November Avyakt Meeting
As there will be guest retreats in Gyan Sarovar until early December, 300 BKS can be accommodated in Gyan Sarovar, and 100 BKs can be accommodated in Pandav Bhawan in dormitory-style accommodation only.
Please be aware that as a very large group of guests will be in Gyan Sarovar until 24 November, it may be that the rooms you want are not ready on your arrival, as they need to be cleaned, but please just adjust and be patient.
Groups Four onwards: Avyakt Meeting of 15 December 2019 onwards
Double Foreigners may arrange their travel for Group 4 dates onwards. Accommodation for double foreigners will be in Gyan Sarovar and Pandav Bhawan.
It is requested that double foreigners come for one meeting, and adhere to the Group Dates, as there are just few days in between for the cleaning of rooms before the next group arrives.
It is requested that those coming for Group 11, leave on the dates mentioned, to allow for cleaning and preparation for the season of Indian retreats and meetings.
Retreats with Centre Residents & Right Hands of Centres (incl Gita Pathshala Coordinators)
Please note that this season there will not be a retreat for this group in October as there has been in the last few years. Instead, we will be holding a few two-day retreats during the DF program for those from Centre Residents & Right Hands of Centres (incl Gita Pathshala Coordinators). More information about these will be coming to you.
There will be DF Programs in all 11 of the Groups
Please note that for the groups where there is a smaller number of Double Foreigners present, there will be a small range of activities and classes available. For the largest Groups, in particular groups 9 & 10, there will be a wide number of activities, classes, retreats and seniors.
Accommodation
Those who need small rooms due to health, couples who need a room together or the elderly, are requested to avoid the 17 October and 15 November meetings, and to come for the 6 March, 20 March or 3 April meetings where more facilities are available. Please avoid coming for the 20 February meeting as the NCs & CCs will be there and it's also much colder in mid-February.
We look forward to an uplifting season.
With love,
In Baba's yaad,
RCs

HEAD's UP: Murli Experiments begin on 1 July
19 June 2019
Murli Experiments’, an innovative addition to each day’s Murli, will be starting from 1 July.
Each day an RC or senior will be sharing their own personal practices and experiences of the Murli that is being read on that day. This will take the form of a 10 min audio recording which will be available on the official madhubanmurli.org website and mobile app.
We know the incredible power and wisdom of both the Sakar and the Avyakt Murlis. This experiment is to inspire the family using the Murlis in a new way that is highly relevant to the current times. Baba often says, ‘Do this and you will get this result – ‘Children this is the attainment you will receive if you do this practice.’ Or ‘Spin the discus of self-realisation and you will become a self-sovereign’, or ‘By focusing on the positive you will become carefree’ etc.
Murli Experiments is not a standard Murli revision as such. It will allow us to see clearly the impact of the various experiments that Baba offers us through the Murli, which can in turn inspire an increased variety and depth in our own spiritual experiments.
Murli Experiments begins on 1 July and runs for a pilot period of three months.
Please do share news of the Murli Experiments with the BK family.
With love,
In Baba’s yaad,
RCs

News of Sr Jayanti's Recent Trips, including Visit to India for Sarla Didi's Last Rites
10 June 2019
Time has really been flying past! The Iceland event, Spirit of Humanity, was absolutely amazing, and it was wonderful to see God’s magic at work with the leaders who had come, and shared from very deep personal spaces of experience.
Sister Maureen and I arrived back to Global Cooperation House, where Dadi Janki had already arrived from USA a couple of days earlier. I was determined to spend maximum time taking advantage of Dadi’s presence, so email replies just didn’t happen. It was beautiful being with Dadi not just for the Classes but also especially on her visit to Tennyson Road and Baba Bhawan. Dadi really emerged the experiences of the years that she had spent there. Most evenings, Dadi was able to take general class too.
On Thursday morning, 6 June, we had meditation for Sarla Didi of Ahmedabad, and immediately afterwards I heard that it would have been around the same time that Didi had flown to Baba. Within a few minutes, it was decided that I should go to Madhuban to represent Dadi for the final rites, so within a few hours I was already on the flight.
Friday morning, 7 June, I arrived in Ahmedabad and went straight to Shantivan. I was able to Munniben, Nirwairbhai and others of the family. At 3.30pm that afternoon, the funeral procession (after going to the 4 pilgrimage places in Pandav Bhawan, then GHRC and Gyan Sarovar) came to Shantivan. Everyone was able to offer their respects and flowers under a tent, where the chariot lay in front of Tapasya Dham. Hundreds had come from Gujarat and there had been very beautiful and powerful messages sent by the Prime Minister of India, Chief Minister of Gujarat and other dignitaries.
Vedantiben from Nairobi and Jyotiben from Dubai also came to represent foreign lands.
After sweet words of honour for the soul that is Sarla Didi from Dadi Ratan Mohini, Nirwairbhai and others, the procession then went to Mukti Dham, the BK cremation ground near the riverside. The funeral pyre had been constructed on the plinth, and the chariot was laid to rest; everyone was given sandalwood pieces dipped in ghee to put on the pyre.
Sarla Didi’s lokik relatives: her two brothers, their wives and sons were also present. Bhartiben from Rajkot, Sarla Didi’s youngest sister was also there. Three media channels were represented and so they interviewed Bhartiben, myself and others also.
7pm that evening, Shashiben came from Pandav Bhawan to offer Bhog for the soul, and there was a very detailed Bhog Message that has come to you already. After that everyone enjoyed Brahma Bhojan.
I had the opportunity of a quiet day in Shantivan on Saturday, meeting various souls. On Sunday, I went to PB to read the Murli in Om Shanti Bhawan and met with Shashiben and Dr Nirmalaben. I then returned to Shantivan, to prepare for my onward journey to Ahmedabad and London.
After the webinar which finished at 5.30pm, I went straight to Sukh Shanti Bhawan, Ahd, where I was able to meet the lokik and alokik families of Sarla Didi, and share love and support with the family.
I stayed for a few hours that night, and left early on 10 June morning for London. I am back in London now.

Message for Sri Lanka
23 April 2019
Message for Sri Lanka
Our hearts filled today with pure feelings of love and compassion, reaching out to the people of Sri Lanka and to their families and friends around the world. There is no doubt that this message is accompanied by similar thoughts and feelings of people from every corner of the world - from every religion, every race and every way of life - all stopping to pray, to meditate or simply, to send their loving thoughts.
As challenging as it can be with images and commentaries promoting fear and division, perhaps our greatest contribution can be to choose to give our attention and our complicity to the billions of compassionate hearts longing for healing and peace. For many, that means rising above the division to the one Source, under whose canopy of love, we come together as brothers and sisters.
It is also time to reach out to anyone we know from our Sri Lankan family...and while we will likely feel uncomfortable, not knowing what to say or how to say it, it is ok, but it is important to remember that moments like this are not about our comfort, rather they are about caring and about compassionate connection.
As impotent as we might feel in the face of such atrocities (and of course we do), when we courageously choose to act with the truth that we are one human family, when we decide to keep our hearts and minds full of wisdom and free from division and hatred, we make healing possible.

Global Enlightenment on Shivratri
3 March 2019
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Om Shanti.
There is a amazing fusion of ideas of different world cultures taking place and its frequency is increasing day by day. Deeper meanings underlying in Indian festivals are more and more recognised and imbibed by our friends from abroad and it feels great to watch them talking about our culture with authority and conviction!
Shivratri - the most ancient and the most mysterious of all Indian festivals - is at the doorstep. ShivJayanti as we call it, marks the auspicious time when GOD enters the human world - which marks His 'Spiritual birth' - when the darkness of body consciousness is at its peak. And He turns this darkness into Light through an amazing cleansing process which happens only once in the whole Time Cycle.
Watch our brothers and sisters from diverse parts of the world talking about their understanding of Shivratri. I am sure it will touch you deeply and inspire you to look at our own rich heritage in a more informed way.
This time, let's celebrate ShivJayanti by going deep inward, away from the clamour and commotion of the world, and find our real inner spiritual space. I assure you, this experience will change you forever. Happy ShivJayanti!

Brother Nirwair's Health Update: 22nd February
22 February 2019
My dear divine sisters and brothers,
Please accept hearty Godly love and remembrances from Apex Heart Institute, Ahmedabad.
Due to accute weakness experienced for some days, I decided to consult my doctors at Apex Heart Institute, especially Dr Tejas Patel and Dr Sanjay Shah (my long-term Cardiologists). At the same time, I also needed advice from Dr Sudanshu Patwari (Gastroenterologist ), and Dr Himanshu Patel (Kidney Specialist).
I am very happy to inform everyone that with their immediate intervention, proper investigation and medication, supplemented by proper diet on the advice of Dr Kunal and Dr Hina (Ayurvedic doctors), I feel much better, but still need some more time for complete recovery. I am very sorry for not having informed everyone before leaving Shantivan on 19 February,
as the chariot was experiencing much weakness.
My cardiologist suggests that I reduce 25% of my activities, but I wonder how that is possible.... Rather I would request my doctors to bring me back to my 100% normal health, so that I may continue with my responsibilities in Baba's Service.
I have had very, very relaxed sleep over the past couple of nights in the Hospital, and it's my hope that it won't be long before my doctors permit me to return to Shantivan.
Shashiben, Dr Pratapbhai, Dr Banarsibhai, Dr Satish Gupta, Dr Hari, Bharatbhai, and sisters from Ahmedabad have been around at different intervals, bringing me lot of comfort.
With my regards and spiritual love,
BK Nirwair

Greetings from Brother Nirwair Ji from Madhuban on 29th January
29 January 2019
Most beloved Avyakt BapDada's very near, dear and serviceable instruments in Bharat and across the world,
Please accept Godly love-filled remembrances from Shantivan.
As we are nearing culmination of the month of avyakt purusharth, I am sure everyone must have spent quality time in maintaining a natural and high stage of avyakt consciousness. The month of January is always blessed by Avyakt BapDada's powerful vibrations, and inspirational points at the end of each day's Murli, so that reaching our flying stage is seamless. Many BK Centres organised Bhattis in the mornings and evenings during the month, and this would have benefited all students and contact souls. Let us take forward the inspirations of this special month to conquer our short-comings, and emerge as Father-like Angels.
These days, the weather in Northern India is going through severe winter, and mercury levels have dropped below zero on a number of days in Mt Abu... It's only the warmth of Baba's love that keeps us going with our daily routine.
In a few weeks, we will be celebrating the most auspicious festival of Maha Shivratri. Meanwhile, devotees of Hindu faith especially continue to take benefit from the Kumbh Mela at the confluence of three main rivers in Allahabad. So far 50 million people have benefited from the Bhakti discourses and of course the holy dip, or even just being sprinkled with the pure waters. Our divine sister Manoramabehn and her large team from Allahabad Centres and different parts of Bharat continue to share BapDada's wisdom through spiritual exhibitions and discourses organised at the Mela site. We send our good wishes that the devotees re-awaken through this unlimited service, and come to reclaim their inheritance of Jeevan-Mukti for many lives to come.
Keeping in view our New Year Resolutions, let us channel our spiritual efforts towards leading naturally soul-conscious lives, while remaining immersed in the love of our Supreme Parents. Baba's Sakar Murli of 26 January outlined the prevailing circumstances of the globe, and motivated us to be ready for transformation whenever it chooses to occur.
Dadi Jankiji and her entourage has returned to India after a successful 4-day visit of Hong Kong.
Several sisters and brothers from all over the world are expected to gather in Abu during February and March, and we welcome everyone to your own sweet home, Madhuban.
With best wishes and Godly remembrances,
BK Nirwair
REMINDER - Pilgrims to Madhuban during February - March 2019 & Update on Weather in Mount Abu
27 January 2019
Dear NCs, CCs and DF Travel Database System Users,
Greetings and love from Madhuban,
As February and March are especially peak seasons for arrivals of Double Foreigners, we would like to request that the Travel Coordinators upload details of all your pilgrims on the DF Travel Database system as soon as possible.
1) Even if people have registered for their respective retreats, their information needs to be on the DF Travel Database system too so that Madhuban also has this information.
2) As far as possible, it would save time if everyone could bring the new version of FORM C ready to submit, with photocopies of their passport and visa. A current copy of FORM C is attached for your use.
WEATHER IN MOUNT ABU
Also the weather in North India has changed suddenly and is expected to be very cold over the next couple of weeks. So as the weather fluctuates a lot in February, please do remind everyone to come prepared with sufficient warm clothing.
Thank you,
In Baba's yaad,
DF Accommodation Office, Madhuban
