Further note re collective commitment by the DF family to support Madhuban between this Sunday, October 25, and Diwali on November 14
26 October 2020
Dear Divine Family!
Further to the note about sending yoga vibrations for Madhuban sent a few days ago, some of you have reached out, asking why we would especially focus on serving Madhuban at this time. We know Bharat is to become satopradhan heaven, and Madhuban is our pilgrimage place. As Baba has said in the avyakt murli of October 25, before Bharat becomes heaven, it will be the scene of many things including upheaval.
We know that the pure and elevated thoughts of the Brahmin family are very powerful. Since the double foreign family cannot be in Madhuban this year, we are asking for you to bring your powerful thoughts and deepest good wishes to Madhuban in a special bhatti of 21 days, from now through Diwali.
This is the time to support Bharat in general and Madhuban in particular so that Madhuban is not affected by the vibrations outside and is instead a fortress of peace and stability.
Thank you for your loving support,
In Baba’s loving yaad,
Dr Nirmala for the RCs
Collective commitment by the DF family to support Madhuban between this Sunday, October 25, and Diwali on November 14
26 October 2020
Dear double foreign children of the worldwide Brahmin family, Om shanti and greetings of love.
Our thoughts have been with Madhuban.
Baba has given each Brahmin a diamond birth, touching us so deeply that we experience the impact of our connection with Him throughout the cycle of time. In the same way, Madhuban has played a special role in our eternal divine lives. For most Brahmins, Madhuban has impacted the soul deeply and shaped our entire Brahmin life. We recall profound moments we had there, knowing that each experience traced a line of elevated fortune and ignited a sacred flame in the soul.
After being served and sustained by Madhuban so well for so long, we find that now Madhuban may benefit by our returning this love. Our collective elevated thoughts, good wishes and pure feelings for our sacred home can provide valuable support for Madhuban as it faces obstacles of this time such as covid and can help us move beyond any disillusionment we might have felt in the past few years when witnessing big changes in Madhuban.
We are requesting that students from each centre dedicate 15 minutes after class each morning for mansa seva for the benefit of Madhuban. We are asking that you begin this on Sunday, October 25 and continue for 21 days until Diwali.
Keeping the flame burning with our sacred love will naturally send a special and pure current to Madhuban. Returning to our memories of magic moments spent in Madhuban that ignited a sacred flame in our hearts can be our way to serve Madhuban now.
This year is showing us a signal of time. Instead of just consuming programs from Madhuban online, we would like you to experience Madhuban and BapDada’s Season in a more elevated and uplifting way, by serving this place, our spiritual home, with your good wishes and pure feelings. We remember BapDada’s words, asking the Dadis to recreate a Madhuban wherever they go to serve, and we feel there is a mini-Madhuban living in our hearts.
This is an invitation to Centres, classes and the entire Brahmin family all over the world to emerge this vision now and create a connection with Madhuban such that all Baba’s children become a rosary of living lights, flames in which we can see and serve Madhuban.
With love and appreciation,
In Baba’s remembrance,
The RC’s

BapDada's Message from Sr Mohini, New York
17 October 2020
Dear Brahmins of the highest clan created by Baba,
Godly loving greetings to each one of you. You must all be safe, healthy, wealthy with Baba's treasures and happy under Baba's canopy of protection and blessings.
I had requested Sr Mohini to bring a message for Baba's children worldwide. We are most fortunate that a very detailed message has come from Baba to help us all at this time of great need. This is attached both in English and Hindi.
We are all looking forward to the first Avyakt meeting of this season on 18 October. A small group of teachers has been invited from UP zone to be present in Shantivan.
We will surely receive more directions and blessings from Baba in that murli also.
With loving good wishes from your Madhuban family and also all the RCs.
In Baba's eternal yaad,
BK Nirmala

Dealing With Uncertain Times Conversation #7 "The Death of all Deaths"
12 October 2020
Dear Divine Family,
We would like to invite you for the 7th edition of our conversations on Dealing with Uncertain Times from a Spiritual Perspective. Please see the invitation for Conversation #7 The Death of all Deaths 30 October. This is a private link for BKs only.
This series is intended to engage BKs in personal reflection and learn from senior brothers and sisters who have been experimenting with spiritual solutions to practical challenges for many years.
You can check our previous editions in this link: http://tiny.cc/UncertainTimesPlayList
1. Financial Security (Kenbhai and Marabhen)
2. Emotional Eruptions (Gopibhen, Enrique bhai and Sr. Pam, Australia)
3. Finding your own Place (Moirabhen, Sr. Rita and Br. Ash)
4. My Relationship with Time (Charliebhai, Pratibabhen and Sr. Kim).
5. Using The Divine Intellect when Facing Obstacles (Lucianabhen, Yogeshbhai & Kiranbhen).
6. Fulfilling my Potential: Getting the Result I Want (Asha Didi, Sonabhen & Br Artem Russia)
Conversation #7 The Death of all Deaths 30 October
As Brahmins, we understand that the experience of death will finish for half a cycle as we effortlessly move from an old body to a new one. However, we still face the physical and emotional upheavals associated with death at this time despite the knowledge we have. There may be fear of getting sick, being alone, and suffering. How do we relate to death in a positive way? And what can help us move beyond the fear of death?
The discussion will be in English. Those language coordinators who would like translation, please contact Marcelo.

Online Avyakt Meeting dates and Special letter of remembrance from Madhuban
9 October 2020
Dear Divine family,
Supremely Beloved Avyakt BapDada’s instrument teachers, brothers and sisters, ones who always keep the seed of your thoughts full with good wishes of benevolence, ones who are engaged in world benefit, please accept sweet love-filled remembrance.
Seeing the present scenes of the drama, all of you must definitely be serving to make your own stage powerful and with the practice of service through the mind, are giving the donation of yoga to the whole world and to nature. According to the pure thoughts of all Baba’s children in this land and abroad, we are sending you this letter of remembrance. As all of you can see, the Coronavirus has put a stop to all types of service programmes. In Madhuban, in all three complexes, all programmes have been stopped for the past six months.
Our sweet and lovely Dadi Gulzarji is still in Gamdevi centre, Mumbai, and it is from there that Dadiji is giving us the experience of the powerful vibrations of Avyakt BapDada’s sakaash. All of us have taken avyakt sustenance from this chariot for 48 years and heard the sweet elevated versions, and even receiving powerful drishti through the video gives us the experience of being merged in God’s love and of filling our aprons with blessings.
This year, the programme for Avyakt BapDada’s incarnations in this land and abroad will be heard and seen online, enabling all brothers and sisters to become merged in the ocean of experiences.
If we receive permission from the Government for some brothers and sisters in India to come to Madhuban, we will inform you of the numbers of how many brothers and sisters can come and on what date they arrive in Madhuban and what date they have to leave. Of course, being in our own places, we will celebrate an auspicious meeting with BapDada on-line.
With lots of remembrance,
In Godly service,
B.K. Ratanmohini
