Kolkata, 24 Oct: H.E. Sri Jagdeep Dhankhar, Hon’ble Governor of W.B. along with his wife Mrs. Sudesh Dhankhar launched “God’s power for Golden Age” – Brahma Kumaris Theme for Year 2019-2020 Kolkata Chapter on “Spirituality for Tolerance, Peace & Harmony by lighting the candles” at Kala Mandir Auditorium here.
Hon’ble Governor said “Nowadays in this world all are full of tension, worry & disturbed – be young or old. Although physically today’s people are wealthy but spiritually they are poor. The wealthy are worried for sustaining their future generations. I am requesting you all that you please reject your anger and give respect to all and behave peacefully. Brahma Kumaris teaches to live life by connecting to spirituality and inner values. After visiting Brahma Kumaris H.Q. at Mt. Abu I felt like emerging the peace within me & doing selfless service.”
Sri Dinesh Trivedi, Former Indian Railway Minister said “We all must know the value of life & accordingly use our time because two things are permanent or constant in this world – first is death and second is change. We should bring change in self by the knowledge given by God and then universal good-wishes will be created. Now Deepavali is coming and true diwali is to make the life happy through the light of knowledge. I am connected with Brahma Kumaris for last 40 years and I believe the greatest work is to know myself & change.”
Rajayogi BK Suraj Bhai from Mount Abu asked all to focus on their thoughts and to replace each negative thought with a positive one. He said – to practice Silence, we need to sit in Silence and created elevated thoughts on self beginning from the very moment we wake up from sleep. The first 5 to 10 minutes after getting up from sleep, we must focus our thoughts on the goal that we have set for self & also to create all positive, powerful & elevated thoughts on self. We have to reduce our ego by all means to enjoy good relationships in family. He mentioned a story: A lady with a 5 year old son came to him and narrated her story. She is an MBA & her husband was also an Engineer with MBA. However, he got a job as a Probationary Officer in a bank whereas she got a job as the manager of the bank. So, because of her ego she used to tell her husband that she is higher than him in position & money. Initially he used to laugh but later on after some time after their son was born, he quietly left the home with a suitcase and traveled to Dubai, changed his SIM Card and he is gone for ever from her. This she felt was because of her too much ego.
Rajyogini BK Kanan Ben, Incharge Kolkata Museum said “The creator of this world Supreme Father Supreme Soul Shiv Baba is giving us Power along with Godly knowledge. that how we can fill up our life with peace and happiness. and stay free of tension and we have energy to do elevated karma. There are many practical examples of people having lot of difficulties & constraints are living a happy life by applying the Godly knowledge in their daily activities. This is a proof that with God’s Power you can change the habits & the world. So you can make your life happy through Raj Yoga.”
Sister Alokananda Roy, Eminent Classical Dancer said “We all will have universal good wishes in us when we do not consider anyone as small, even if he may be a jail bird. We must make them feel peace and love. No one is a convict by birth. We must consider all as children of God and teach them through art, dance, songs and poetry and inspire them to lead a life filled with peace and love. If we give goodwishes to all, then happiness will be in all their lives and this job is very nicely done by the peaceful sisters of Brahma Kumaris.
