Where Gender Equality Exists From Inception – Brahma Kumaris

We have been seeing a lot of changes happening in India very recently as far as the women are concerned. We have been seeing the women entering the temples for prayers and other religious activities which they were not allowed to do earlier. The women are being given the power equal to the men as far as rights are concerned.

At the Brahma Kumaris though, the story has been different. The organization was formed in 1936 with a group of around 300 students, mostly women. The founder of the institute decided to make a comity for running the administration of the organization and a 5 women comity was formed. The women have been given the power and the rights much before in the pre independence times when women were not allowed to even get basic education.

The former administrative head i.e. Dadi Prakashmaniji who has handled the administrative duties at the Brahma Kumaris had amazing skills to handle everyone which took the organization to a new level. The teachers who are there at the centers as centre incharge are also women. 

Brahma Kumaris firmly believe that a Woman can be a better administrator as she possesses the qualities of love as well as discipline. We also see in temples various woman deities like Laxmi, Saraswati, Kali, Durga, etc. Woman can be portrayed in both the lovable form as well as the ‘Shakti’ (strong and powerful) form which is the symbol of discipline.

Today, the Brahmakumaris organization is being led by Dadi Janki ji, the Chief Administrative Head but at the age of 100 plus, she is leading by example and is getting all the co-operation by the students of the organization as a divine family.

It is a small yet wonderful family of 10 lakh regular students around the globe who continue to lead a peaceful life and also do their household chores with ease. Everyone has a family already but it is really wonderful to experience the love and affection of this Divine Spiritual Family you get at Brahma Kumaris. Om Shanti!!

Awakening With Brahma Kumaris

‘Awakening with Brahma Kumaris’ is a daily TV talk show telecasted regularly on Peace of Mind and Astha channel.  This talk is like a daily dose of medicine for those who strive to live peacefully and happily. The simplistic and practical approach of Sister Shivani on ‘Awakening with Brahma Kumaris’ episodes enables us to ponder over ourselves and bring control over life by taking us back to our roots. It helps us to transform our “unconscious living” to “conscious living”.

The concepts bring a total change in our thought process which is referred to as “Paradigm Shift” in personality development books. Sadly, majority of the personality development content focus on the outer layer of change (physical and behavioral level) but ‘Awakening with Brahma Kumaris’ program focus on consciousness level change. These shows talk about practical tips towards eliminating stress, anger, depression, low self-esteem from our lives.

The source of all the discussion in the series is the spiritual discourse (Shiv Baba’s murli) and Rajayoga Meditation as taught by Brahma Kumaris. Many people believe that spirituality is something which is meant only for rishis who renounce everything, go into deep forests in search of GOD. But ‘Awakening with Brahma Kumaris’ program has brought spirituality down to earth, and that too in a very realistic, simple approach presented by BK Shivani. Even a layman can become spiritual by listening and watching these shows. What it takes is just the attention and a will to change and improve the quality of life. In fact, I believe that spirituality is yet another name of personality development. All self-help books are partially offering tips to improve our personality are the connected with spirituality in life. Such spiritual inputs are what constitute the daily discourse at Brahma Kumaris in the name of ‘murli’.

The program is presented in a simple manner but it discusses the basic knowledge required to live a stress-free and happy life. All the basic questions which arise in the minds of common man are answered clearly with transparency. In most of the sessions, we observe that the persons talking have not made much prior preparation (i.e. it is not a script which is being followed). They speak to each other and the audience in a casual manner as if they are speaking to some sitting next to them and with spontaneity. This makes the program nearer to reality and truth. And, probably this was the reason for the popularity of the show. It is easy for the viewers to get connected with the people on this talk show. This program has brought a change in the minds of people all over the world. People are learning the art of “taking charge of their life” as is mentioned at the beginning of the program.

No school has ever focused upon teaching what to think and how to think but ‘Awakening with Brahma Kumaris’ is a program that brings such transformation in our thoughts that whenever we are in doubt, or not feeling good, or feeling hurt, a conscious effort towards this spiritual thought process is all it takes to start feeling light. All the worry seems to disappear instantly. It is the simple, truthful approach to life and spirituality, that even school children are impressed by the talk series.

Bringing Value to Life – Awakening with Brahma Kumaris

Have you ever driven a car on a dark lonely road? I am sure not many of us have had such experiences but the ones who have had can tell you how frightful or uncertain that journey can be.

None of us would want to be on that road as each one of us aspires to have good experiences in life and avoid the bad ones.

This is just an example. Now let's link this to our lives and see how it’s interconnected.

We all wish to be loved and accepted in life even with our weaknesses, isn't it?

All of us are exposed to the world of knowledge, have an awareness of the power of thoughts and even realize that we  need to change but we find ourselves unable to do so.

Looking at this Will but no Way situation, Brahma Kumaris started with a program called Awakening with Brahma Kumaris. We have the knowledge, or to be precise, information, but there is no one to guide us on this path of self-transformation.

Awakening with Brahma Kumaris is a program which is aired internationally with the intention to help masses take charge of their lives. Every action is an outcome of the thoughts we create. We know these facts but are unaware that most of our thoughts are focused towards changing others and not the self which is against the proverb "Self- transformation leads to World transformation"

Awakening with Brahma Kumaris deals with various subjects of concern to human life such as Anger Management, Thought Management, Self-transformation, Relationships, Values in life etc.

The face of the program, Sister Shivani is a regular spiritual student of the Brahma Kumaris and the wisdom shared by her is directly or indirectly derived from the spiritual knowledge taught at the Brahma Kumaris.

Awakening with Brahma Kumaris was initially started on Astha channel and is now also been broadcasted on Peace of Mind channel which is a 24x7 channel of Brahma Kumaris where this program is featured twice a day.
