31 December 2022

Dear divine angels,

At the end of the Madhuban season, we organize two silence retreats that take place in India and which also have the possibility to participate online.

ON the EXPLICIT REQUEST OF JAYANTI DIDI, this invitation is not sent via London, but by the team TOWER OF SILENCE itself.

INVITATION:

TOWER OF SILENCE 31

16 to 26 March 2023

OR:

The Retreats:

The world is waiting for a reunification of science and spiritual force. When in we souls the science of gyan becomes silence in the still failure-free mind, dualism ends and ushers in the pure karmateet thoughtless vigyan point, and the significance of its subtle signals touching the selected scientists’ inventor intellect leads to the development of completely stable satopradhan technologies.

Albert Einstein: “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move towards higher levels.”

Nikola Tesla: “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena; it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”

Baba’s message through Shashi Bhen, January 2022

"Baba again brings to your attention to make your stage so powerful through silence that the signals of/for the coming time can be understood, and everyone served through signals and vibrations can accomplish the task of world transformation. Science working for the new world will get power and fasten the speed through the children’s stable and silent vibrations."

Retreat Contents:

T H E plan

Experiential essences of being, becoming

k a r m a t e e t - p e r f e c t - c o m p l e t e

The natural occurrence of the ONE plan of revelation

For BK souls who feel a deep maturity, and, having been selected by Baba, wish to explore the stability of karmateet silence and perfection and the inherent service through sakaash to Baba’s selected scientist souls and protagonists in world transformation

Dear Centre Coordinators, Divine Family,Golden greetings for all of you at the end of 2022!

This is a short and sweet update from the Golden Drops Initiative.

* Playlists per topic

Almost 7 months have gone by and we are over 140 video’s richer. For more easy use, they are clustered now in a playlist per topic: like nature, creativity, etc. You can find the links at the end of this letter. Visit the YouTube channel to see all new playlists: https://www.youtube.com/@GoldenDrops2022/playlists

* An invitation for Silent Golden Mansaseva

The request for coming months is to have regular collective Silent Golden Mansa Seva. To gather together in the subtle regions, where the Advance Party is always waiting for us, and as BapDada recently mentioned, ‘to spread rays of peace, love and happiness' to every single country in the world. To bundle our energy to bring the final moments and the new world closer.

A Bhatti Video specially created for this Silent Golden Mansa Seva will soon appear on our Golden Drops YouTube channel.

Here is a 1 minute promo video to inspire all of you brothers and sisters to join this Silent Golden Mansaseva. Click on the image to play it.

* A Golden Drop from every country

As you know the aim is to collect a Golden Drop from every country in the world. At the moment the counter is at 52, which means we are over 25% from the 195 countries on our planet earth. In the coming Bhatti video for Silent Golden Mansa seva you will find an overview of the countries who have offered their drop. Other countries are warmly invited to share material which can be edited by the team into a drop from your country.

Wishing you beautiful Christmas days and an elevated shift from 2022 to 23 into the angelic month of silence.

Update on Travel to Madhuban

26 December 2022

Dear Divine Family,

Greetings and remembrances from Madhuban, especially for Christmas and the coming New Year!

You would have heard the recent news about the rise in COVID cases in China and some other countries.

1. As per the recent Indian Government Advisory, it is recommended that people wear masks whilst in crowded spaces, however, it is not yet mandatory. The Central Government has also decided that there will be random sampling done on 2% of arriving passengers at the airports.

There are no other rules issued by the Government as of 23 December 2022.

2. As many of our double foreigner Brahmin family will be travelling to India soon, we recommend that anyone who has had a fever, cough, or cold within 1-2 weeks before travelling to India, should postpone their trip till their health recovers completely. It is also recommended that they take the COVID test before travelling.

3. Those who are elderly or have comorbidities are requested to take the COVID test before travelling. They should not come alone but travel to Madhuban with a BK companion or in a group.

Everyone should remain careful and wear masks in public spaces, maintain physical distance and keep hands sanitised as far as possible, however, there is no need to worry about another wave in India as yet.

We will continue to update you on the situation.

On Spiritual Service,

BK Dr Partap Midha

BK Dr Nirmala

BK Shashi

January 2023 - Silence Invitation to the Brahmin Family Worldwide!

19 December 2022

www.experiments-in-silence.org

January 2023

Silence Invitation to the Brahmin Family Worldwide

Dear Divine Family,

In the December Madhuban Newsletter, Dadi Ratanmohini reminded us, "Now, the New Year is coming close and the month of January, the month of remembrance of Father Brahma is especially signaling all of us to create our avyakt stage. Definitely, each one will stay in the cave of yoga and have experiences of deep silence."

January is traditionally a month of silence and introversion in the Brahmin family. This year we are especially inviting all BK’s to participate in a month of Experiments in Silence, creating and sustaining the avyakt stage.

In preparation for this avyakt month,
We are sharing a remarkable class by Dadi Prakashmani in which she says: "We Dadis would like to share with you our pure wish and recommendation, that for the next 31 days (originally 101 days) from January onwards, each one at their respective places does tapasya with a determined thought. These days instead of focusing on outside service, concentrate on creating yoga programs to make the self powerful. Have a sweet spiritual heart-to-heart conversation about this. Let everyone go completely underground for 31 days."
(Download the full class "Now Let Everyone Go into The Cave of Yoga" HERE).

During our avyakt month,
We will hear 5 murlis from 1993, the year Baba called “The avyakt year”. For each Sunday’s avyakt murli, starting with the January 1st murli, we will offer experiments in silence for the family to practice throughout the following week. To support us, a senior yogi will experiment with the murli in advance and share an audio recording of his or her experience. These audio clips should be played to the whole class after the avyakt murli is read on Sunday. Both the experiments for the family and the recording from the senior yogi, will be shared on this site, www.experiments-in-silence.org.

You’ll find a clear explanation in the program description available HERE.

We encourage you to meet as a center and decide how you might approach this month of experiments -- not just individually but collectively in the Center. We also invite you to familiarize yourself with the Silence Platform where experiments will be introduced weekly www.experiments-in-silence.org.

The aim of this program is to encourage each and every Brahmin to make this month of January 2023 a deep and transformational month of self-progress, moving us all closer to the powerful avyakt stage. With full participation from our Global Family we (over one million souls) will also collectively light the fire of revelation and world transformation.

All documents will be posted in your language on the Silence Platform by 24 December latest.

If you have any questions, you can contact us at eis.cott@brahmakumaris.org.

In Baba's love and remembrance,
Rajubhai in cooperation with
The Experiments-in-Silence Team
