News from Jayantiben New York Sunday 25th September, 2022

27 September 2022

The Florida retreat went very well. Florida is known for fun and lightness, so apart from classes, workshops, meditations, there were three evenings, Thursday, Friday, Saturday filled with sweet memories, laughter and stories of Baba's Yagya. There were 180 people from Florida and specially invited families at the retreat and today the nearby centers were invited to come for a day's program and there were 300 people all together.

Today was a celebration of Didi Mohini and Sister Jayanti for their new roles and very moving talks by sister Gayatri and sister Waddy. The two Erik's had a great comedy exchange and then interviewed the two Didi's. The theme of the retreat was, "Accepting the Crown". Today's theme for the interview was Writing my Destiny.

One of Baba's children from Delray center in Florida proved to be a brilliant singer and each day we heard very beautiful songs from her. After cake cutting, dhristi, toli and gifts, we left for White House New York and we are now here. 

Om Shanti

23 September 2022

On Wednesday night night I arrived in Washington. Sister Jenna and a whole troop of the Shakti and Pandava army came to greet me at Om Shanti Village. It was beautifully lit up. On arrival, there was a brief meeting with those who had gathered. This morning we had Shrad bhog and murli. Then I left to come to the airport for a short flight to Albany which is a one hour drive from Peace Village. Sister Gayatri, Sister Waddy, and Brother Brad had come to meet me at the airport. Arriving in PV, the first we met were Sister Sandy and Brother Rick. That was lovely. Sister Kala, Sister Judy, and the whole family was there. I then went to Baba's Room. There was an opportunity to meet Didi Mohini. The BKs are here to celebrate 40 years of service in Florida. A very lovely gathering. 

Om Shanti

BK Retreat with Br Charlie in Chicago, 4 & 5 September

21 September 2022

On 4 & 5 September, over 100 BKs from the Midwest region of the US came to the elegant Waterford Conference Center outside Chicago to enjoy a short retreat with Br Charlie.  The theme of the retreat was "Moving Into Our Perfect Stage."  Charlie began and ended the retreat by quoting BapDada:  "Perfection is to have loving feelings for everyone."

Charlie Bhai was the embodiment of loving feelings for everyone, giving sweet attention and kind words to each and every Brahmin soul.  With humor and lightness, he led us through the steps of maintaining deep love for One, basing our self-respect on closeness to Baba, and serving others through being trustworthy and taking responsibility for our own feelings.  Charlie shared many jewels that he has learned from the Dadis over the years and told many wonderful stories of his experiences in Brahmin life and meetings with BapDada.

The Midwest BK family is grateful to Baba, drama, our seniors and of course dear Charliebhai for this memorable weekend.

Please enjoy this one-minute video of the retreat.

San Francisco BKs Celebrate 75 years of India Independence (Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav | USA Celebrates the Soul of India) on August 11th

18 September 2022

The San Francisco Brahma Kumaris Center hosted the India Independence Day Celebration, ‘Inner Freedom,’ on Thursday, August 11th, 2022, the auspicious day of Raksha Bandhan. The event was a beautiful blend of artistic expressions and insights of the cultural and spiritual values of India, such as peace, harmony, unity, strength and spirituality.

 

Sr. Hema explained that inner freedom can be attained when we have permanent happiness through the experience of our own innate qualities and the connection with the Divine Source. Total freedom comes when we become the masters of our own feelings and emotions.

 

Beautifully rendered Invocation Dance “Shanti Dhun” by Sr. Leena and the “Shanti-Shakti” song composed by Sue Govali and performed by the duos Sisters Elizabeth and Sue herself, added grace to the occasion.

 

Appreciative inquiries and reflections on courage and inner strength led by Sr. Kyoko helped participants to get in touch with their inner core. Questions asked to ponder on were: 1. Think of the time when you overcame a difficult situation. Describe the situation. 2. How did you feel at the time of overcoming it? 3. Looking back at your actions, what virtues or qualities did you gain from your experience?   The small group discussions and the sharing by the entire audience brought meaningful and personal experience amongst the participants.

 

This activity segued into a contemplative “Link of Love” activity, symbolic of the Indian cultural tradition, Raksha Bandhan.  Sr. Sukanya led a meditation commentary focused on seeing beauty of virtues in others followed by participants tying a Link of Love ribbon on each other’s wrists.  It was a heart-warming experience for many.

 

Insightful thoughts were shared by two dignitaries:

Ms. Sally Mahe, senior consultant of the United Religions Initiative and a friend of Brahma Kumaris since the 90’s and Dr. Sudarshan Kapoor, professor emeritus from California State University, Fresno who spoke through zoom.

 

The event ended with an experiential meditation commentary led by Sister Elizabeth and Sister Kyoko, playing the healing harp music.

 

Participants were elated as they received a rakhi with toli, blessing card and refreshments.

You can develop new skills and you can refine your talents, but can you develop your self?  New exploration of self-understanding.
