Avyakt Signals for December 2020 brought by Sr Vedanti
13 December 2020
Dear Centre Coordinators,
(Please share with the family)
Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Brahmin family,
Greetings of love from Madhuban. We have received many queries as to who brought the message that we forwarded from the International Coordinating Office on Saturday. This message was brought from Sr Vedanti.
In the future, we will make it clear who has brought any message we send to you.
In Baba's loving yaad,
BK Dr. Nirmala
On behalf of the RCs
Avyakt Signals - 3 December 2020 brought by Sr Vedanti
BapDada is always in silence. Even BapDada’s chariot, though still in the world, has been in silence for a long time. Whatever is happening to the body of child Gulzar, the soul is doing powerful service. Now it is good for the children to reduce the programmes and to take the whole Brahmin family into silence, silence from talking, and silence of the mind. Spread this wave. When it’s necessary to speak, speak less, speak sweetly and softly. Make this lesson firm.
Do not give importance to problems; do not discuss them. Become a point and give sakash to the problem, and everything will be all right. Stay more in silence of speech. Stay more in silence of the mind and maintain a direct connection with the Father.
You are the ones to distribute the treasures received from God. Take as much as you can and distribute what you have with an open heart. Now only this task is left. Spread the wave of silence everywhere.
BapDada wants each child to become responsible and start the work immediately through which there will be benefit for the self and the world. Especially celebrate the month of December as the month of “Silence of the mind and silence of speech”. This is what BapDada wants.

Information on using ZOOM during the Madhuban Double Foreigner Program November 2020 - 2021 Season, especially the sessions on 28th & 29th November
27 November 2020
Dear Centre Coordinators, Warmest greetings of love.
For three of this coming weekend's online programs, we will use the Zoom program. Many of you are already familiar with using Zoom but if not, please find below information on how to use it for the 28th & 29th November Programs and other programs going forward. Even if you are familiar with Zoom, please review the "Additional Guidelines" further down in this communication.
Zoom is very simple to use, you just have to:
- Click or type the Zoom link appropriate for your language (see the email sent earlier) and you will be taken into a Zoom room. For English, click http://tiny.cc/DFRetreatZoomEng For Hindi: http://tiny.cc/DFRetreatZoomHindi For Tamil: http://tiny.cc/DFRetreatYouTubeTamil For other languages, please contact your language coordinator.
- Or, if you are on a computer, you can go to your browser and enter Zoom.com – then, click on "Join a Meeting" at the top of the webpage. In the box that appears saying "Meeting ID or Personal Link Name", type 943 4998 1715 and then click the blue 'Join' button. A little box will 'pop up' asking you to "Enter meeting password (or passcode)". Type 108 where it says 'Meeting password (or passcode)' and click the 'Join Meeting' button.
If you are using a cell phone or tablet and do not have the Zoom app, you will need to download the Zoom app:
Iphone or IOS devices: https://zoom.us/download#client_iphone
Android devices: https://zoom.us/download#mobile_app.
Once the app is installed on your device, click on its icon. When the app launches, click on the 'Join' button. Type 943 4998 1715 in the 'Meeting ID' field and put your first name, city, and country initials in the 'Join with a personal link name' field (for example, Geeta, London, UK.) Then click the 'Join' button. A box will 'pop up' asking you to "Please enter your meeting passcode (or password)". Type 108 for the password or passcode and click 'OK'.
Regardless of the device you are using, when you enter the Zoom meeting room, you will either
- be asked if you want to use the ‘audio of your computer’
or you will
- be given the option ‘over the Internet’.
Please choose whichever of these options appears to you.
ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
We would like to request one small cooperation from you with regard to your camera. When you join a meeting, both your microphone and your video camera will be set to 'off', indicated by a red line through the microphone and video camera icons.
Where possible, we would like you to switch on your video camera, so that everyone can experience meeting the whole family. It's easy to do this: Just click on the video camera icon and your camera will be on. (If you don’t see the video icon, move your mouse or touch your screen).
Please, be aware:
- When your camera is on, you should be in front of it with sufficient light on your face so that you are visible.
- If you need to get up for any reason, even for a few minutes, please switch off your camera (because it can be distracting for other participants and speakers to see you moving around)
- As it is a Madhuban program, please dress accordingly.
- Be aware of your environment, particularly if you have other people around you.
Following these guidelines will deepen the quality of everyone’s experience. From time to time, you may like to switch to the Gallery View in the computer (upper right corner of your computer screen) or, on your phone or tablet, simply swipe left through successive screens to see your world family.
If you want to use the chatbox for questions, precede them with *** as it will make it easier for the facilitator to identify questions (as distinct from other comments).
And if you have any questions or comments on the experience of the programme, email us: dfseason@brahmakumaris.org
Please note all programs on the 28th and 29th are scheduled to last from one-hour to one-hour-and-fifteen-minutes.
Much love,
In Baba’s yaad,

Further note re collective commitment by the DF family to support Madhuban between this Sunday, October 25, and Diwali on November 14
26 October 2020
Dear Centre Coordinators,
(Please share with the family)
Further to the note about sending yoga vibrations for Madhuban sent a few days ago, some of you have reached out, asking why we would especially focus on serving Madhuban at this time. We know Bharat is to become satopradhan heaven, and Madhuban is our pilgrimage place. As Baba has said in the avyakt murli of October 25, before Bharat becomes heaven, it will be the scene of many things including upheaval.
We know that the pure and elevated thoughts of the Brahmin family are very powerful. Since the double foreign family cannot be in Madhuban this year, we are asking for you to bring your powerful thoughts and deepest good wishes to Madhuban in a special bhatti of 21 days, from now through Diwali.
This is the time to support Bharat in general and Madhuban in particular so that Madhuban is not affected by the vibrations outside and is instead a fortress of peace and stability.
Thank you for your loving support,
In Baba’s loving yaad,
Dr Nirmala for the RCs
Collective commitment by the DF family to support Madhuban between this Sunday, October 25, and Diwali on November 14
26 October 2020
Dear Centre Coordinators,
Please read the below message in class and make sure that all students are aware of this collective commitment by the double foreigner family to support Madhuban between this Sunday, October 25, and Diwali on November 14.
Thank you,
In Baba's yaad,
Dr Nirmala for the RCs
Dear double foreign children of the worldwide Brahmin family, Om shanti and greetings of love.
Our thoughts have been with Madhuban.
Baba has given each Brahmin a diamond birth, touching us so deeply that we experience the impact of our connection with Him throughout the cycle of time. In the same way, Madhuban has played a special role in our eternal divine lives. For most Brahmins, Madhuban has impacted the soul deeply and shaped our entire Brahmin life. We recall profound moments we had there, knowing that each experience traced a line of elevated fortune and ignited a sacred flame in the soul.
After being served and sustained by Madhuban so well for so long, we find that now Madhuban may benefit by our returning this love. Our collective elevated thoughts, good wishes and pure feelings for our sacred home can provide valuable support for Madhuban as it faces obstacles of this time such as covid and can help us move beyond any disillusionment we might have felt in the past few years when witnessing big changes in Madhuban.
We are requesting that students from each centre dedicate 15 minutes after class each morning for mansa seva for the benefit of Madhuban. We are asking that you begin this on Sunday, October 25 and continue for 21 days until Diwali.
Keeping the flame burning with our sacred love will naturally send a special and pure current to Madhuban. Returning to our memories of magic moments spent in Madhuban that ignited a sacred flame in our hearts can be our way to serve Madhuban now.
This year is showing us a signal of time. Instead of just consuming programs from Madhuban online, we would like you to experience Madhuban and BapDada’s Season in a more elevated and uplifting way, by serving this place, our spiritual home, with your good wishes and pure feelings. We remember BapDada’s words, asking the Dadis to recreate a Madhuban wherever they go to serve, and we feel there is a mini-Madhuban living in our hearts.
This is an invitation to Centres, classes and the entire Brahmin family all over the world to emerge this vision now and create a connection with Madhuban such that all Baba’s children become a rosary of living lights, flames in which we can see and serve Madhuban.
With love and appreciation,
In Baba’s remembrance,
The RC’s

Online Avyakt Meeting dates and Special letter of remembrance from Madhuban
9 October 2020
Dear Centre Coordinators,
Supremely Beloved Avyakt BapDada’s instrument teachers, brothers and sisters, ones who always keep the seed of your thoughts full with good wishes of benevolence, ones who are engaged in world benefit, please accept sweet love-filled remembrance.
Seeing the present scenes of the drama, all of you must definitely be serving to make your own stage powerful and with the practice of service through the mind, are giving the donation of yoga to the whole world and to nature. According to the pure thoughts of all Baba’s children in this land and abroad, we are sending you this letter of remembrance. As all of you can see, the Coronavirus has put a stop to all types of service programmes. In Madhuban, in all three complexes, all programmes have been stopped for the past six months.
Our sweet and lovely Dadi Gulzarji is still in Gamdevi centre, Mumbai, and it is from there that Dadiji is giving us the experience of the powerful vibrations of Avyakt BapDada’s sakaash. All of us have taken avyakt sustenance from this chariot for 48 years and heard the sweet elevated versions, and even receiving powerful drishti through the video gives us the experience of being merged in God’s love and of filling our aprons with blessings.
This year, the programme for Avyakt BapDada’s incarnations in this land and abroad will be heard and seen online, enabling all brothers and sisters to become merged in the ocean of experiences.
If we receive permission from the Government for some brothers and sisters in India to come to Madhuban, we will inform you of the numbers of how many brothers and sisters can come and on what date they arrive in Madhuban and what date they have to leave. Of course, being in our own places, we will celebrate an auspicious meeting with BapDada on-line.
With lots of remembrance,
In Godly service,
B.K. Ratanmohini

Madhuban Double Foreign Program 2020 - 2021 Season
17 September 2020
Dear Centre Co-ordinators,
Baba continues to sustain us in so many ways and we have all been keen to know when we may again make the pilgrimage to our sweet home of Madhuban. As we are all aware, the situation of Covid is still quite severe in many countries, including India, and so we cannot say with any certainty when this may be possible.
The Double Foreign programme team are thinking ahead and are preparing a virtual Madhuban experience with the theme of 'Madhuban Our Sacred Home'. The first transmission of a special Murli from BapDada will be on the 18th of October.
Below is the first communication from the Double Foreign Programme Team. We hope you will all be able to join in.
Please do share this note, together with the message below, with your BK students.
With love,
in Baba's yaad,
RCs

Centers can choose to watch at whichever timing best suits their time zone and a recording will also be immediately available to watch at your convenience.
Sunday 18th of October is the first date this season for the transmission of a special Murli from BapDada, along with meeting the seniors. The broadcast will begin from 5:00pm India time. Dates for other transmissions during the season will also be sent to you.

Message from the RCs
Dear Brothers & Sisters, Most lovely and respected members of the Brahmin family from around the world,
Greetings of love from the Regional Coordinators. According to the time, we feel the need to connect with you and share occasional messages and subtle signals for how together we can fulfill both our responsibilities and Baba’s hopes during this time of increased fragility and unpredictability.
Baba has told us that things will happen suddenly and to be ever ready. This means being free of fear and uncertainty about how our centres will run or what might happen. By remaining merged in Baba’s remembrance with the awareness that “nothing is mine; everything belongs to You” we become accurate instruments. Baba’s company will give us power to face all situations. Managing our centers and our service is made easy when we follow shrimat accurately. If you are unsure about anything, talk things through with your fellow centre residents, and if something is still unclear, discuss the situation with a senior.
The strong energies and extreme conflicts emerging in the outer world are part of these times when all karmas are resolved. Our role is to continuously do subtle checking of the intellect, remain apart from these conflicts and remove any waste as we bring our perfect form in front of us. Our spiritual journey is an inner one, taken through our minds and intellects and ultimately beyond both into silence and stillness.
When we remain in the constant company of Baba, the quality of our yoga will be high. By sustaining that clear link, we will be able to take His guidance on big decisions and even on small things. Most important now is our stage. By making our stage stable and powerful, by being loving and detached we will be able to face any test. By wearing our costume of light, made of the subtle threads of pure vibrations, we are able to bring the gifts of love, peace, compassion and kind-heartedness to the troubled souls of the world. It’s in these times, especially where many of us are being asked to be more ‘isolated’, we have this opportunity to accumulate the power of silence and do mansa seva together.
While Baba’s vision has been our protection, time is calling us to live and to share that vision as we serve selflessly to bring peace to a world in conflict and love to hearts filled with animosity and fear. In this way we also pass on the sustenance we ourselves have received.
As we bring establishment closer this is also the time for love and unity in the Brahmin family, for harmony among the instruments in all of Baba’s places. Now is the time to pack up and create both the intention and the ethos that will keep us together as we create a new world with a new consciousness. Each one of us, in this divine world family, is a humble instrument for this.
With love, in Baba’s yaad,
BK Nirmala on behalf of the RCs:
BK Mohini, BK Jayanti, BK Sudesh, BK Vedanti and BK Chakradhari
