News from Jayanti Didi - Pune 15th April, 2022

16 April 2022

After the Annual Teachers meeting I was able to go to Mumbai for half a day.  I met with several families but the most important thing was to visit the room that has been created for Dadi Gulzar at Gamdevi Centre.  This is the room where Dadiji stayed in the last three years in the corporeal form.  It has been set up very very beautifully and really gives a very lovely experience of Dadiji in the subtle region.

This is the Centre where all the Dadis have stayed, including Dadi Prakashmani  when she was head of Maharastra from 1964-1969.  A place where many of the Dadis, and all the original jewels have stayed.

We then came to Pune by car to the GPO Centre.  There was a short meeting with the Centre residents in a freshly renovated apartment just across the corridor which now belongs to Baba.

Next day we had morning class and Bhog at the Centre and the room was packed out with around 100 people

We then travelled to Nigdi, about 25 kilometres away from the GPO Centre and this was an amazing 4 story building with a terrace.  We had flat hoisting for Baba on the terrace and then had a programme for Brahmins connected in that area.  Although it is a residential area there was special permission to have Baba’s home there.  Essentially a Brahmin gathering where around 450 people  squeezed into the main hall.  It's a very lovely addition to Baba’s facilities.

There was a Teachers class in the evening for people connected to the GPO Centre.

We then came to Jagadamba Bhavan where there was a warm welcome, even though it was quite late in the evening.  This morning we had morning class and there were around 500 people. 

After that we went to Mira Society Dadi Janki’s home for many years and we had a Teachers class for those connected with Mira Society.

This evening there is to be a public event entitled ‘Feel, Fill and Fly.’

Tomorrow morning we leave early to go to Hyderabad.

Samiksha from Delhi (Social Media) is accompanying me on this journey

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR YOUR ATTENTION

 

This is to inform you about a brother named Bubbles (Thagaran Chetty) who is originally from South Africa and has also spent some time in Australia.  Currently, he resides outside the Shantivan complex and has begun a business called the ‘Healing and Blessings Centre’ that he portrays as an NGO and he has falsely given the address of the Shantivan complex.

 

We draw your attention to the fact that this is his personal business and it has no connection whatsoever with the Brahma Kumaris in Shantivan.  However, he has been trying to influence BK’s by offering himself for programmes or trying to arrange programmes at various centres and places, in an attempt to solicit funds for his business ventures and requesting donations to a current account in the Bank of Baroda.  During his time in Australia, there were several complaints about this brother's conduct and behaviour and a letter was sent to him that he is not allowed to teach or represent the BK organisation.

 

All teachers, BK brothers and sisters should pay attention that they remain cautious and alert to such individuals.  We request that you do not hold any programmes related to the Healing and Blessings Centre in your places, nor provide any co-operation/funds for it.  Other than this, if you have any other information or questions related to this brother, then please contact the Secretary of the Management Committee, Sr Shashi, at shashi@bkivv.org.

 

In Godly service,

BK Brijmohan

News from Jayanti Didi in Madhuban 4th April, 2022

4 April 2022

I went up to Gyan Sarovar on Sunday and met with several individuals.  In the evening there was a grand celebration for Dr Binny, her sister Nina and Bro Rakesh for their 50 years with Baba which was a beautiful golden jubilee celebration.

Harmony Hall in Gyan Sarovar was decorated beautifully and the stage was graced by Didi Nirmala, Sister Meera from Santa Cruz, the three souls, the Head of the air force station in Abu, Head of internal security in Abu, the Maharaja of Sirohi, and Dr Ashok Mehta.  

There was a Colonel in the audience and other officers together with their families, the main hotel owners and many of those who owned the shops in Mt Abu.  

There were nuns from Sophia college and a priest and also the Government School’s representatives and several other dignitaries, including the Head of the Human Rights Commission from Delhi.  

It was quite a gathering.  All the dignitaries on the stage shared their greetings.

Brother Rakesh was the MC.  His Hindi language is very poetic and profound.  Children from the Government school also performed dances during the programme.

There was a lot of praise for the family and of course Sister Binny in particular.  Lots of peace awards and gifts were shared.

Didi Nirmala, Dr Binny and myself received a Peace Award for our work for Human Rights.  Two women received an award from Dr Binny on behalf of the Peace Foundation for their work on uplifting women.

Everyone enjoyed the event, which ended with delicious Brahma bhojan for all.

One immediate outcome apart from the feeling of love and warmth that was generated was that the Colonel came for a session in Meditation today.

I am now back in Shantivan.
