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.
