Watch the Replay: “A Celebration: Hearts Open to the World”
27 December 2020

BK Jayanti Karpalani takes center stage in an online conversation title “A Celebration: Hearts Open to the World” on Tuesday, Dec. 15. Kirpalani was a guest speaker during a public program held in Makati last year.
Brahma Kumaris online series finale to tackle human interconnectedness as upheld in a papal encyclical.
“HARMONY is the original state of humanity. This is why we long for it and work hard to find or create it. If there were no memory of that state of mind, there would be no sense of something missing in our world at this time. And if harmony is natural to man, then we need to consider why it is not currently the norm.”
With the above viewpoint, that she has expounded in a wide range of forums—from cultural traditions to climate change, Jayanti Kirpalani, European director of Brahma Kumaris takes center stage with Bishop Joel “Bong” Z. Baylon of Legaspi City in an online conversation, “A Celebration: Hearts Open to the World” on Tuesday, Dec. 15.
The conversation will be anchored on what BK Sister Jayanti also considers “the seed of harmony, and what enables us to create structures and practices that sustain it.”
Papal encyclical
Bishop Baylon is expected to align her perspective with “Fratelli Tutti,” Pope Francis’ third encyclical published in early October. An emphatic plea to reject wars and “globalized indifference” through fraternity and solidarity, it proposes an ideal world of brotherhood in which all countries can be part of a “larger human family.”
An advocate of global unity herself, Vice President Leni Robredo, a special participant will reiterate her position on human interconnectedness, which she has stressed in recent public addresses, should germinate at the country level.
“Hearts Open to the World” is the 31st and this year’s final episode of the “Lusog-Diwa” (mental health) conversations hosted by Brahma Kumaris Philippines’ wellbeing initiative, “Pause Muna, Peace Muna” (PMPM). Brahma Kumaris is a United Nations Peace Messenger Awardee.
With the umbrella theme “Thriving in Covid-19,” the online exchanges seek to help individuals, institutions, and sectors cope with pandemic anxieties. The series was launched in May and is held every Tuesday via Zoom and FB live streaming.
Merle Pimentel, the PMPM coordinator, explains the finale’s thrust: “Our interconnectedness has never been more real; realizing its value has never been more urgent. Now, more than ever, we should think, act—and love—as one.”
‘Every storm passes’
In a recent message to his diocese, Bishop Baylon noted that the five latest typhoons to hit the province made his “fellow Albayanos” wonder “why all that had to happen, (when we are) already reeling from a worldwide pandemic.” These things are almost impossible to explain,” he said. “But in our hearts, we know that every storm passes, every disaster ends. Let us reach out to one another.”
BK Jayanti points out: “Within every human tradition, there is a concept of paradise, utopia, or golden age—a world of peace, love and happiness, a time when human beings lived in harmony with one another and with nature. What has happened that we’ve come so far from that? How can we return to that natural state?”
Pre-COVID, in another gathering, BK Jayanti was asked about harmony and spiritual brotherhood. Her responses inadvertently described current conditions.
Why should human beings bother to reach out to one another when technology, while superficially bringing us together, has strangely made an island out of every person?
As spiritual beings, we are not supposed to exist in isolation. We are connected through an eternal bond with the Divine, the Parent of us all, and the source of all that is highest in human nature. When we connect with this perfect reference point, we also experience a deep and fulfilling connection with each other.
How does individual self-awareness benefit the world as a whole?
There is a continuum that works on the spiritual level and also manifests in the material world: “Our awareness defines our attitude. Our attitude colors our vision. Our vision dictates our actions. Our actions shape our culture. Our culture creates the world.”
If it is our nature to look at others as brothers, why is it sometimes difficult to show that we care?
Dadi Prakashmani, former head of Brahma Kumaris, once told me, “Only a powerful soul can offer love. Only a powerful soul can be humble. If we are weak, we become selfish; if we are empty, we take. But if we are full, we automatically give to all.”
Doesn’t self-respect dictate that we avoid certain types of people?
Harmony is the fruit and also the seed of true self-respect—self-respect that comes from knowing our true identity, our innate goodness and value, and our capacity to make a positive contribution. Quite independent of status, circumstances, or skills, harmony is the ease and contentment, combined with a quiet authority that comes from living with sincerity and integrity and relating to others and nature with respect, benevolence, and care.
Over 3,000 invited viewers from the government, church, school, business, and NGO sectors, as well as Brahma Kumaris students around the world witnessed “A Celebration: Hearts Open to the World” on December 15, 2020, starting at 7 p.m. Streamed live;

“Celebrating Our Mountains” – A Meditation in Honour of UN International Mountain Day
14 December 2020
FRIDAY 11 DECEMBER @ 7.00 pm AEDT (eastern Australia time)
We invite you to join us in a special meditation to celebrate our mountains. This is a 40-minute meditation in honour of UN International Mountain Day 2020. We will be sending vibrations of support to nature, the people who dwell in the mountains, and to those who are helping to build and sustain the biodiversity of the mountains.
Mountains are natural jewels. They are home to 15% of the world´s population and host about half of the world’s biodiversity hotspots. They provide fresh water for everyday life to half of humanity. Their conservation is a key factor for sustainable development and is part of Goal 15 of the SDGs.
As the global climate continues to warm, mountain people, some of the world’s poorest, face even greater struggles to survive. The rising temperatures also mean that mountain glaciers are melting at unprecedented rates, affecting freshwater supplies downstream for millions of people. This problem affects us all.
You can join in on youtube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m68fsTcB8U&feature=youtu.be

Watch: "The Wisdom of Uncertainty" with Sr Maureen Chen - 4th in a Meditation and Self-Care Series presented by Brahma Kumaris Philippines on 26 Nov
28 November 2020
Click on the above link to watch a replay [1:41:45].
Philippines: PEOPLE respond to immense challenges such as this pandemic either woefully or with wisdom, says Australian yogini, lecturer, and author Maureen “BK Morni” Chen.
“Woeful is when you take it personally,” Chen explains. “Wisdom is the practical application of knowledge, which by itself is often not enough.”
How might wisdom alleviate widespread uncertainty of the kind and scope that the world is currently witnessing? Chen took on the subject in a webinar hosted by Brahma Kumaris (BK) Philippines on Thursday, Nov. 26.
“The Wisdom of Uncertainty” comes fourth in a series of virtual sessions under the umbrella theme, “Meditation and Self-Care,” launched earlier this month by the BK Makati Center.
A native of Sydney, Chen has been studying and teaching Raja Yoga meditation for 40 years, conducting lectures and retreats in over 50 countries. She lived in Asia for 30 years, and helped open and sustain meditation centers in Hong Kong, Cambodia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Taiwan. She was instrumental in starting the organization’s service in the Philippines.
In 2010, she moved to India to work with the “Future of Power” initiative, which brought together leaders from a wide range of professions, and which has since evolved into a global effort.
Now back in Sydney as BK Australia National Office coordinator, Chen launched (on October 1st 2020) a book that chronicles her spiritual journey, “Mystic at the Edge: A Western Woman Colored by Asia.”
“Circumstances stretch us to the point where we cannot recognize even ourselves,” she says of Thursday’s topic. “We need inner power during these unprecedented times—actually, eight powers.” She identified and discussed these individually and at length during her talk.

Diwali Greetings from Indonesia
11 November 2020
November Newsletter - Brahma Kumaris Centre for Spiritual Learning The Illawarra
3 November 2020
Greetings one and all!
This month we are having the theme of HOPE...&....light...
Hope and Light
Our nature is light; spiritual and imperishable kindly light
Light gives hope, guidance, and awareness.
Whilst moving along a path, light on the obstacles, the light of perception, and knowledge,
We hope to be safe, to be loved, and find value, meaning, and fulfillment.
A lighthouse shows danger, and the way of avoidance, to a safe passage.
We're especially focused on the World Meditation Program we are hosting with our special guest Dr Roger Cole. Roger has inspired many with his insights into living a balanced spiritual life. This time around, we will also have a special guest providing live music, as we meditate together and send light and positive energy to the whole world, even including the elements. Paul Headon, a very experienced local musician, specialises in ambient, subtle music -- perfect to facilitate a lovely reflective, meditative atmosphere! https://tinyurl.com/BKWMHhope
We are also hosting a weekend retreat conducted in the Hindi language.
