Letter About the Current Situation from Dadi Ratan Mohini - in English & Hindi

28 April 2021

Dear Divine Family,

Beloved Avyakt BapDada’s deeply loving instrument teachers, all brothers and sisters who are the decoration of the Brahmin clan, ones who go to the bottom of the ocean with the practise of concentration and find invaluable treasures, ones who are protected by the aura of purity, please accept love-filled sweet remembrance from Madhuban.

At present, you must all be hearing about the Corona pandemic that is spreading so fast in Bharat, and with your pure and positive attitude, must also be having special yoga.  Baba says: Children, seeing the atmosphere everywhere, all of you pure and yogi souls who are full of good wishes, must definitely make time to serve with your mind.  It is a wonderful scene of the drama that compared to last year, the situation that is in front of us now is 10 times worse.  Every State, in their own way, is trying to save itself and others.  We hope that all of Baba’s children will be safeguarding yourself and keeping yourselves protected under Baba’s canopy.  Everyone has to look after their valuable, confluence-aged body.  Together with this, in the spirit of one world family, let us have yoga practice with sympathy and the comfort to all souls. Today, I am writing this letter with the aim that those who are going through this, receive the power of tolerance, and that souls who are leaving their body receive the donation of peace.

1)      According to the drama, there is lockdown in many places in India and it is not possible to serve through words.  So each one, after celebrating a meeting with BapDada every day at amrit vela at 4.00am, especially have yoga to take rays of light and might from BapDada, the Sun of Knowledge from 4.30am to 4.45am and 7.00pm to 7.30pm, and by serving with your mind, do the service of donating peace and power to all souls.  Protecting yourself by experiencing yourself to be surrounded with an aura of the divine powers of purity, give the co-operation of yoga to all souls.

2)      All yoga bhatthis, meetings and programmes that were announced to take place in Madhuban, Gyan Sarovar and Shantivan have been cancelled till 31st May.  Everyone has to do tapasya in their own places.  When the situation becomes normal, we will inform you further.  At present no one should come to Madhuban.  Achcha.

Lots of remembrance,

B.K. Ratan Mohini

Loving Greetings from BK Nirwairbhai (in Shantivan): 23 April

23 April 2021

Thank you message from BK Nirwairbhai

 

Om Shanti to my dear beloved sisters and brothers,

 

When I think of Avyakt BapDada's meetings and of course my own personal meetings with the family in Madhuban/Shantivan, I am recalling memories of my dear sisters and brothers from every nook and corner of the world. This is especially to convey my hearty thanks for your kind words, good wishes, get-well-soon greetings and beautiful messages that've been sent with smilies and namastes... all of which have definitely helped me a lot.

 

These past 4 weeks in Ahmedabad were a very valuable experience, in particular reminding me about the eternity of the self, and of course the power of good wishes. During the first week, there were times when my doctors were a little worried about my health, but I somehow remained peaceful and smiling, and within one week everything started to improve slowly and slowly. This was the magic of yoga power and good wishes!

 

There are better and worse experiences in life, and we shouldn't be worrying about these situations. I look at a picture of Baba telling us, "Why do you worry? I am there for you...", and truly feel how it has been my main support during this period. 

 

My doctors in Ahmedabad: Dr Harjit Singh Dumra, Dr Sudhir Shah, Dr Tejas Patel, Dr Sanjay Shah, and of course my friends Dr Pratapbhai and Dr Banarsibhai, all helped me return to my normal spirits. I still feel the need for more time to restore physical strength, but otherwise I am very happy to share with all of you that Baba has brought me out, and is keeping me like a flower placed on His eyes. The soul is very peaceful, light, happy, and Baba continues to assure me that I have yet to complete my work! I can never forget beloved Brahma Baba's words to me, "Until the Golden Age is established, you have no time for rest..." so we will continue our journey of the Confluence Age, and I am sure Baba's glorification will take place in the very short time that remains.

 

Many, many thanks and with best wishes,

 

B.K. Nirwair

Shantivan

Science in Silence 3: Four Experiential Sessions in One Weekend

16 April 2021

SCIENCE  IN  SILENCE  3

Four experiencial sessions in one weekend

Increasingly, scientists are becoming aware that the mainstream vision of scientific materialism is a too narrow view on reality, and is not going to bring us relevant breakthroughs in either understanding nature or the refined non-violent technologies available for solving the great problems that are bringing this world to the edge of total collapse.

We might be willing to accept that there exists an immaterial science with focus on studying the truth of the innate self, the incorporeal source of that and our relationship with that source. And when we are able to see that this is indeed a science, since it has a method, and it leads to consistent results in the form of experiences that are reproducible in time and for different practitioners in different geographical locations, then we might come to the inevitable conclusion that the material - and the immaterial science need to unite, to bring us further.

To come to new refined and perfect solutions in matter, we need to search at refined energetic levels in our inner self in connection with the most precious, brilliant and perfect source, that is beyond matter. This type of searching happens in a state of deep inner silence where thoughts become stillness and truth can appear as an experience and as anauthentic long-lasting solution.

This is a warm welcome to the next ONLINE EVENT

Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 May 2021

7.30 to 8.30 am CEST*, 11 to 12 am IST** 3 to 4 pm CEST*,  6.30 to 7.30 IST** each day

* Central European Summer Time (GMT + 2)

** Indian Standard Time (GMT + 5:30)

All you need to do is .... nothing

All you need to be is .... quiet,    sit straight up in a relaxed way .... and absorb waves of tensionfree non-violence, deep into yourself .... More details will be sent to you, when we confirm your registration.

Dadi Ishu's Health News

14 April 2021

Dear Divine Family Across The Globe, 

Om Shanti and Greetings of Love. 

 

As you all are aware that India is witnessing a Second Wave of Covid-19 which is much more severe then the first one. As a result of this,many of our brahmins have got Covid Positive in last 2 weeks or so.

 

Since,some of you had called me and messaged me to enquire about our dearest Dadi Ishu's health, i spoke to Sister Kavita who has been looking after her since many years. In her own words:

 

" On Saturday 10 April 2021, Dadi was feeling little breatheless and her oxygen saturation had gone down,hence they took her to Trauma hospital,where she was found with mild Covid symptoms. Very next day, they shifted her to Ahmedabad Sterling Hospital under the able care of Dr HS Dumra who has been treating most of our Dadi's since years. Along with Dadi, Sister Kavita,Sister Leena and Bro Khagendra - all have been admitted to hospital with mild Covid Symtoms. They are all undergoing treatment at the same time. However,due to her age, Dadi Ishu is on 10 litre Oxygen, to assure that she remains stable. Her All other parameters are normal. Sister Kavita has shown great deal of courage and has been by Dadi's side in ICU. She has requested all of you to please do YOG and send your powerful vibrations,so our Dadi gets well soon and returns back to Shantivan."

 

Dadi is in good spirits as usual and Sister Kavita has shared a very nice cheerful picture of her's which is attached here. Om Shanti.

News from Jayantiben in Abu, 7th April

10 April 2021

My programme as it stands is to go to Ahmedabad on the 9th for COVID test, and then I fly from Ahmedabad to Delhi on the 10th, and onto London early on 11th morning. It’s been a powerful experience being here in Madhuban for the ceremonies of the two Dadis, and again renewing connections with several departments in Madhuban.

 

On the 7th, we had a chance to go to the new Water Treatment Plant in Shantivan. It is quite amazing; the basement is as clean as a conference area. A few Heads of Departments and the labourers were there, so Jayminiben, Hansaben, Balwantbhai and myself all had a chance to see the place. We shared a few words of good wishes and congratulations to the whole team.

 

It’s been a huge project as all of you know, and the good news is that everything is moving towards the final stage. It’s almost ready, and there will be an official inauguration once Nirwairbhai is back, but for the time being, they wanted representatives of the double foreigners to come and see the progress. So guaranteed, whenever the next season begins in Madhuban and we will all be there to be with the family and Baba again, we will have very clean, fresh and healthy water available.

 

OM SHANTI

 

 

 

 

 

"Science in Silence" Article posted in Time Business News on 26th March to Promote Online "Creator Silence" Events

6 April 2021

SOURCE: https://timebusinessnews.com/science-in-s-i-l-e-n-c-e/

 

 

Increasingly, scientists are becoming aware that the mainstream vision of scientific materialism is a too narrow view on reality, and is not going to bring us relevant breakthroughs in understanding nature, and the refined non-violent technologies to solve the great problems that are bringing this world to the edge of total collapse. We might be willing to accept that there exists an immaterial science with a focus on studying the truth of the innate self, the incorporeal source of that, and our relationship with that source. And when we are able to see that this is indeed a science, since it has a method, and it leads to consistent results in the form of experiences that are reproducible in time and for different practitioners in different geographical locations, then we might come to the inevitable conclusion that the material – and the immaterial science need to unite, to bring us further.

 

The experience of the Raja Yoga of the Brahma Kumaris practiced at Mount Abu, India and in many countries over the whole world, gives us the method of this unification: both recognizing their immaterial root cause, and then their effect and task in the material, including the entire universe.

 

The ONE provenance of the perfect existence of both is an immeasurable tiny spark of immaterial light, the absolutely innocent, so unconditional highest creator essence, with liberating effect on human consciousness and subatomic, so atomic matter.

 

Aware, that now a time has come, in which humanity no longer is able to learn through lectures or dialogues, but through conscious experiences in the individual and collective immaterial fields of consciousness, SCIENCE IN SILENCE, offered at the hand of THE DIVINE, is an Experiential shortcut Retreat for Scientists responsible for the promotion of THE UNCONDITIONALLY GOOD, THE NON-VIOLENT.

 

The content is connected to the fact that we are living in the flow of an intense transformation of the world, leading into a new era of elevated original awareness. Just as a seed contains the significance to grow a complete tree, the new consciousness contains the significance to reconstruct this era of truth, inherent goodness, and non-violence.

 

With this increasing experience of the responsibility to adopt new consciousness, humanity will re-adopt its right to an individual link with the reality of the DIVINE, and in this experience a release of all its hidden, inherent qualities of the exclusively GOOD, empowered by its true identity, not violable by false identity, and false, exploitative aims. Its mirror will be new scientific attainments, whose importance and value is recognized by those who awoke to a new incomparable, altruistic responsibility with new loving intelligence.

 

Transition means to adopt new ethics of a gentle complete form of non-violence from deep inside. Non-violence towards the entire creation, including ourselves, and non-violent technologies, through which the harmony in nature and the harmony among people can be re-assigned, and stabilized anew. When we study our inner world in-depth, we may find that the material is a reflection of the immaterial. This means that to come to new refined and perfect solutions in the matter, we need to search at refined energetic levels in our inner self in connection with the most precious, brilliant, and perfect source, that is beyond matter. This type of searching happens in a state of deep inner silence where thoughts become stillness and truth can appear as an experience and as a long-lasting solution.

 

For mature scientists, this is a warm welcome to our future online SCIENCE IN SILENCE events. These events are four hours in length and take place on one weekend per month. The recently past "Science in Silence 2" was held from 6:30 am to 7:30 am (CEST) and 3 pm to 4 pm (CEST) on both 4th and 5th April. The events are hosted by the Neutrino Energy Group,  www.neutrino-energy.com.

 

Science professionals are welcome to click here to register for future sessions: https://neutrino-energy.com/science-in-s-i-l-e-n-c-e-online-event/. Then, all you need to do is …. nothing. All you need to be is …. quiet, lean back …. and absorb waves of tension-free non-violence, deep into yourself…

 

The essence of immaterial experience dispells the darkness of material arrogance, ignorance, and violence.

6 April 2021

To our Brahmin family in Bharat and foreign lands, Om Shanti and greetings!

 

We are pleased to inform you that Nirwairbhai moved to the main Sterling Hospital after 12 days of COVID care this evening (Sunday, 4 April). He is good, and his care will continue here. He is cheerful. Minimal oxygen support is required. It was a tough battle, but it's been won successfully!
