Reminder for Pilgrims to Madhuban in February & March 2024

3 January 2024

Dear Divine Family,

1. Please request your Travel Coordinators to upload the itinerary and personal details for Madhuban pilgrims for February and March Season on the DF Travel Database, as early as possible.

2. Those participating, supporting and helping out in the Integrated Retreat for NCs/NCTs, CCs and Board members need to upload their details on the DF Travel Database, in addition to registering for the Integrated Retreat on their site.

3. DF Pilgrims for the 16 February, 7 March and 21 March Avyakt Meetings should come according to the quotas allotted for accommodation in Mount Abu.

4. Please remind those Double Foreigners who are elderly or with delicate health conditions to travel with a companion from their Centre/Country, and not come on their own.

5. The groups of Double Foreigners in February to March are always large, so the Double Foreigners should avoid bringing along BK relatives or friends from India.

6. If any Double Foreigner wishes to stay in Shantivan, the request should come to Shashiben's Office via the DF Travel Database, or by email at least 2 weeks in advance. Please be aware that Accommodation in Shantivan around the Avyakt Meeting dates is very, very full, and so Double Foreigners can make the request if absolutely essential, and be able to adjust with whatever accommodation is offered in Shantivan or the Man Mohini Complex.

7. Double foreigners should travel with photocopies of their Passport ID page and Visa/OCI page, in case they leave their actual passports elsewhere before travelling to Abu.

8. Those travelling to Mount Abu for the 16 February, 7 March and 21 March 2024 groups are requested to be flexible with accommodation, and cooperate with the Accommodation Team.

Many thanks,
In Baba's sweet yaad,

BK Shashi

GLOBAL PROGRAM for January 2024: “Going Beyond - Staying Beyond”

1 January 2024

Dear Divine Family around the World

Half of the Global Program is over and the most powerful part is yet to come!

Many thanks to everyone for your participation and contribution! Someone wrote in the blog:

"Reading the 18-1-2022 murli every day, recording it, listening to it, writing it in my own language, narrating it to fellow students, letting them narrate to me, makes it easy to stay in the angelic form AND the daily murlis, both saker as avyakt enter the intellect with that awareness 'I am an angel'."

All information for the Global Program for January 2024 is available in the attached document and in this mail below.

Enjoy the silence, enjoy your stage, enjoy Baba's company.

Om shanti

The Experiments-in-Silence Team

JANUARY 2024 – AVYAKT MONTH

WITH EXPERIMENTS IN SILENCE (January 1-31)

Maintain volcanic avyakt silence as much as possible. Make your efforts intense but easy:

Avyakt silence is being absorbed in all attainments and relationships with Baba.

2. Daily experiments (Avyakt Signals)

Work sincerely with the experiments/Avyakt Signals at the end of the daily murli.

Let’s create a worldwide wave of deep, subtle and sweet collective efforts.

3. Silence Platform for sharing experiences with the wider family

The BK family is invited to share results of their experiments/efforts at

https://www.experiments-in-silence.org. (Password for Blog: welovesilence.)

Everyone can share in her/his language and read the sharings from others.

Please use the "Write a comment..." field. Don't use the Contact form.

The Contact Form is meant for questions only. Thank you.

4. Additional Sustenance and Inspiration

Mohini Didi will explore and share her experiences of the Avyakt Signals on a daily basis.

A playlist of her class is offered in the link below.

The BK family is invited to listen to deepen one’s understanding.

New Year Greetings from Nirwair Bhai Ji and the Madhuban Family

1 January 2024

To the jewels of light of Avyakt BapDada's eyes, who are glorifying our beloved Baba in the world,

Our loving BK Centre Coordinators, and divine sisters and brothers of Bharat and foreign lands,

At the confluence of the departure of 2023, and coming of Year 2024, I extend lots and lots of congratulations to the entire Brahmin family.

No matter what is being predicted for 2024, Baba's children remain positive and envision 2024 as the year for us to make special efforts to be threaded in the rosary of 8 jewels (2+0+2+4=8)!

I am reminded of Brahma Baba's journey to perfection, and how in the final months Baba reached a stage where he preferred to stay in silence more and more. While interacting with the children, he would understand the gist of what the child was saying and then take them beyond with his drishti... That exchange of avyakt drishti even now gives us the experience of closeness, and super-sensuous joy. There is nothing lacking in this stage; one feels full and we are able to practically experience whatever Avyakt BapDada share in the Murlis. We speak a lot about the Almighty Being, but it is time to experience Baba in this role in the practical.

Let's make time to keep a chart of: how long am I able to stay in soul-consciousness? How long do I see others with soul-conscious vision? How much time do I give sakash for the benefit of the world?

Let's adopt very simple but practical and sustainable New Year Resolutions. May there be newness in our spiritual endeavour and godly service in 2024!

With love from Baba and Madhuban Niwasis,

B.K. Nirwair

T H E PLAN

Experiential essences of being, becoming, remaining

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

and the natural occurrence of the ONE perfect plan of revelation

The ONE World Formula

For BK souls who feel a deep maturity, as if having been selected by Baba, 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.

Participants should be free during the entire retreat time from alokik and lokik verbal services, except in cases of sudden emergency.

The Retreat will be held in English and concentrates on indepth individual transformation, ushering in practical solutions for the self and the world.

***

The world is waiting for a reunification of the spiritual and scientific powers.

When in us souls the original 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.

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 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."

All love divine and a heavenly welcome,

TOWER OF SILENCE and SCIENCE IN SILENCE Team

Sisters: Awatif, Vasia, Maureen (Ireland), Parul, Tünde, Cheryl and Guddi
