Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dadi Janki; the unusual subject of this biography; presides over a unique global spiritual empire run and led by women. Born in 1916 into a traditional Hindu family; she was expected to follow the standard pattern for Indian women of the day; which was to succumb to an arranged marriage at the earliest possible opportunity and then disappear from view. But she had other ideas. Since the age of two; she has only ever wanted to connect to one being; and that is God. She never sought nor desired any other relationship and she managed to escape her unwanted marriage in order to dedicate her life to spiritual study; service and contemplation. She joined the Brahma Kumaris; then in its infancy; in 1937; and for many years; ran centres in India. In the early 1970s; the decision was taken to try and introduce the movement to the West and Dadi Janki arrived in London with no real idea how she would do it. Her task was made especially difficult as she arrived not speaking any English; with no money; no influence and nowhere to live. But with God as her constant companion; she never gave up and within 20 years of being in London; had established the Brahma Kumaris as a respected; influential; worldwide organization. This is the story of how she did it.

Download or read book Feeling Great written by Dadi Janki and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we lose our ability to feel great? And what is 'feeling great' anyway? Is it really possible to feel great in today's world where every day there is some new crisis or disorder? Some new upheaval or unexpected negativity? Where violence is rife? Is feeling great out of place or insensitive to the reality of many people's lives? In this treasure of a book, Janki, Vegso and Johnson call on their decades of spiritual study and practical experience to answer these and other essential questions. You will learn what it really means to 'feel great' – and it might not be what you expect. You will discover that feeling great is not about having a good time for a few hours, or having money to spend. It's about putting your life in order and remembering who you really are. It's about practicing the four keys revealed in this book—enthusiasm, optimism, contentment, and respect—then learning how to start acquiring and applying them. Janki and Vegso's rich descriptions of the sticking points we encounter on our journey through life demonstrate how we can recover our ability to truly feel great – not as a temporary indulgence, but as a lasting state of being. Now is the time to start feeling great, and this uplifting book shows you how easy it can be.
Download or read book Untangling Religion from Spirituality written by Mike George and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Would YOU Say? Some people say, "I am spiritual but not religious". Others say, "I am religious and my spirituality is based on my religion". And a few say, "My religion is my spirituality". Then there are those who say, "Religion is spiritual and you can't be spiritual without religion". And a very few say they cannot be compared as both are the same! Phew! So there is an obvious mixing of the two ideas. That's why untangling them can only happen in one's own consciousness when there is clarity about each. Mike sets out to help you discern the difference between religion and spirituality but in a way that engages you to 'see for your self'. In 101 areas of comparison he articulates both the substantial and the subtle differences with simplicity and wisdom. Why is it important? In his words, "Right now religion still dominates our world. For many it provides a comfortable set of beliefs by which to live. But if you want to prepare your self for what is to come, if you want to be ready, willing and able to face the challenges ahead, you will need to cultivate your spirituality. And that, for many, is not so comfortable".

Download or read book Happiness Unlimited written by Sister Shivani and published by Amaryllis - an imprint of Manjul Publishing House . This book was released on 2019-05 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these enlightening and eye-opening conversations, the renowned spiritual mentor, Sister BK Shivani reveals how to create a life of joy, contentment and bliss, because we all have the choice and the power to do so. According to her, the reason why there is so little happiness in the world is dependency. Happiness is not dependent on ‘anything’ or ’anyone’, or found ‘anywhere’. We keep delaying our happiness until things are just right in our life. We think we will be happy in the future and then wonder why we are not happy now. Happiness is only possible when we are able to accept everyone as they are, at every moment, in every situation. This book is a medium for the awakening and acceptance of self-responsibility. Helping us choose our thoughts and feelings aligned with our true nature of purity, peace and love. To make us shift from asking to sharing; from holding on to letting go; from expectations to acceptance; from the past and the future to being in the now. Happiness is a ‘decision’, not a ‘consequence’.

Download or read book Understanding the Brahma Kumaris written by Frank Whaling and published by Dunedin Academic Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Brahma Kumaris are a new spiritual tradition. The movement currently has over 450,000 worldwide adherents in more than 100 countries. As with all spiritual traditions, the Brahma Kumaris are different, bewildering, and fascinating in their newness and in their complexity. In 1936, in Hyderabad, India, a millionaire diamond merchant named Lekhraj Khubchand began to have visions at around the age of 60. The visions led him to hold meetings in his own home which were attended mainly by women. This was the beginning of the Brahma Kumaris. Dada Lekhraj, as he became affectionately known, used his fortune to set up a trust composed of 11 women. One of the young women, who became known as Om Radhe, became the leader of the new movement, while Dada Lekhraj remained a key figure. Following the Partition, the Brahma Kumaris moved to Mount Abu in Rajasthan, India, and this remains their headquarters. Through phenomenology, this book examines the Brahma Kumari tradition. Phenomenology involves firstly putting one's own world-view aside in order to understand the world-view of others. Applying 'epoche' (to avoid bias) and 'empathy' (to engage sympathetically), the objective of this study is to understand the Brahma Kumaris, as far as is possible, from within. The book, along with others in the Understanding Faith series by Dunedin Academic Press, is intended for students of comparative religion and is a basic source of essential information about the major world faiths in the 21st century for those who seek to understand this aspect of influence on our lives today.

Organized as one day per page, each day’s thought is followed by a short contemplation, practice or project, with space to write your own thoughts and chart your inner journey through the year. The beauty of wisdom is that it is timeless and simple; there is no calendar element to the book and so you can start using it at any point in the year. Whether you need to cool the mind or warm the heart, let this inspired collection of wisdom and insight be your guide through the year.
