GLOBAL PROGRAM for Dec 2023/Jan 2024: “GOING BEYOND – STAYING BEYOND”
31 October 2023

Dear Divine Family
The powerful month of January is approaching, and time is calling us to follow the footsteps of Father Brahma. We, as angels, become lighthouses and send the light and might that will soothe the suffering of souls. Now and only now do we have the choice and honour to serve all of humanity and the elements of nature all at once.
In preparation for an extraordinary January 2024 the entire BK family is presented with a simple and powerful program.
For the month of December we propose to you a highly inspiring Murli to experiment with.
With one-to-one exchanges, we can strengthen our commitment to our inner work.
From January 1 we will give our full attention to the special Avyakt Signals for daily experimentation.
There will be an opportunity to share our experiences on an online platform and to listen to Mohini Didi’s reflections on those very signals.
To create Global Unity there will be a synergy between the Global Bhatti program and this Global January Program.
All information is available in the attached document and on www.experiments-in-silence.org.
(Password for blog: welovesilence).
We ask the centre coordinators to take this program to heart and to discuss the implementation of the same in the class.
Om shanti
The Experiments-in-Silence Team
Rita, Nora, Mathias in cooperation with Gayatri, Judy, Jasu and Rajubhai (Madhuban),

News of Passing Away of Didi Dr Nirmala ji (Gyan Sarovar, Mount Abu)
21 October 2023


Dear Centre Coordinators,
To the stars of hope and love, beloved Brahmin sisters and brothers of Bharat and all foreign lands,
Om Shanti and loving remembrances from your unlimited home, Madhuban.
As you have heard for the past few days, our respected Didi Nirmala ji, Joint Administrative Head, Brahma Kumaris, had taken ill health on 2 October 2023. She was admitted to Global Hospital, Mt Abu, for a few days but as health did not improve, she was referred to Ahmedabad Hospital. For the past week, she had been under the care of Dr Sameer Dani at Apollo Heart Institute. Despite the best efforts and care of many specialists, Didi Nirmala departed from the old chariot today, Friday 20 October 2023 at 11am IST.
The respected chariot will be brought to Abu on 20th for the pilgrimage of Shantivan and nearby complexes, and will then be brought to Gyan Sarovar and kept in state at Harmony Hall for 20 October night.
Details of the final ceremonies will be shared later.
Please join us in deep yoga as we pay our respects, and express gratitude for the elevated life of B.K. Didi Nirmala ji.
On Spiritual Seva,
BK Nirwair
Secretary-General
Brahma Kumaris

News of Didi Nirmala
19 October 2023
Dear Centre Coordinators and Divine Family,
Greetings of love.
We are writing to let you know that our dear Didi Nirmala is still in ICU in Ahmedabad and remains in a critical condition. In the last few days many have visited including Sr Jayanti, Sudesh Didi, Yogini Bhen from Mumbai and today Rajni Bhen and Bhavana Bhen have gone.
We invite the world family to send your good wishes and sakaash.
We will continue to update you when we hear anything further.
With much love in Baba's yaad,
Charlie on behalf of the RCs

Didi Nirmala's Health Update - 14th October, 2023
14 October 2023
Dearest Family,
Greetings of love from Ahmedabad.
I have been to see Didi today around lunch time and will return in an hour or so.
Didi is still critical but stable. She is still on a ventilator and has a fever. When Dr Partap and I spoke she opened her eyes and listened but cannot speak. I gave her a beautiful card made by the Double Foreigners in Gyan Sarover and Pandav Bhavan with 50 or so heart shaped pages inside with hundreds of blessings of love and good wishes for her recovery. I opened it and she looked as I flipped through the pages.
We also met all the doctors who are looking after Didi and thanked them and gave them gifts in appreciation of all their efforts. Sangeeta Bhen, her nurse Gayatri Bhen and Chatrapal bhai are with her 24/7.
Sieter Mohini and Sister Jayanti have both suggested I do not return to Australia now as I was due to return on the 17th October. As Didi's health is fluctuating I am still not sure when I will return.
I will continue with updates as soon as I hear anything. Please do continue all the sakaash.
With love in Baba's yaad,
Charlie

Letter to the BK Family from Israel
13 October 2023
Dear Divine Family,
Om shanti and greetings of love and peace to all.
From around the world, we are receiving your loving messages of support and for peace in the region. The vibrations from all the bhattis taking place are also reaching, providing a subtle, yet powerful and most unique, spiritual support. Our heartfelt thanks to all.
All Baba's children are safe, as well as all Baba's centers.
Unfortunately, however -- Israel being a very small country -- there would hardly be anyone who doesnt have some family member, friend or colleague who has not been affected physically by this war.
Yet what we are seeing is that our Baba's divine teachings and presence in our lives is doing its work and the family is strong...determinedly using these scenes in the drama to deepen and rehearse the beautiful role we've been given as angels of God and lighthouses to humanity.
From our beloved Baba's lap, where we can so easily find ourselves in the good company of the whole divine family, whenever, wherever.
Your sister
BK Sharona
and the Israeli Family

Update on the Madhuban quotas for the 2023/24 Season - No quotas for October 2023
17 July 2023
Dear Divine Family,
We had informed you previously that to help us make sure that everyone gets a chance throughout the season, we would have a quota system for the larger groups coming to Madhuban.
We have been reviewing this, and it has been decided that we will not have a quota for the October Avyakt meeting dates for Group 1.
We will, however, have quotas for the larger groups. There will be quotas for Groups 8, 9 and 10 i.e. the Avyakt Meetings of 16 February, 7 March and 21 March, 2024.
We will be sending further information to you about these quotas as soon as we can.
There will be no restriction on numbers that may visit Madhuban in all other groups. Please encourage BKs to go at other times in the season so that we can manage the quotas for February and March.
Thank you for your cooperation.
With love,
In Baba's yaad,
RCs

On the weekend of 22nd and 23rd July we will be holding two special events to lovingly celebrate the long awaited Re-Opening of the Global Retreat Centre.

Brother Brij Mohan from Madhuban and Mohini Didi from New York, with other seniors, will preside over these events. We are hugely honoured to have Mohini Didi literally for only 36 hours or so during this weekend and for Brij Mohanbhai to make this journey from Bharat at an advanced age - a true expression of love.
