Brahma
Kumaris is a spiritual organization founded in 1936 with an
objective of universal peace and tranquility. Located south of the
Nakki Lake you could spend some time partaking spiritual knowledge
and understanding the tenets of the Brahma Kumaris. Also enjoy a
laser show which helps in the methods of meditations.
Dadi Prakashmani, the founder was born in 1922 in Hyderabad in Sindh
province. In 1950, she left Pakistan and came to Mount Abu where she
set up Madhuban, the head quarters of the sect. In 1969, Dadi
Prakashmani set up the centres of Brahma Kumaris in India and in
other 80 countries.
Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya is, in many
ways, a University with a difference. Whereas most other
universities enable a person to attain a Master's Degree in one of
the arts or sciences or to become a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.),
this University enables him to be the master of his own thoughts,
desires, emotions and sense-organs and to be a doctor, so to say, of
the philosophy- of - life so that he can lead a healthy and happy
life.
RAJA YOGA - can be defined in a number of ways. The word "Yoga"
simply means "Union", and the word "Raja" means "Supreme", "King" or
"Master". Raja Yoga is the king of all yogas because through it one
can become sovereign. Through the teachings of Raja Yoga, the soul
is able to achieve its natural state of peace very easily.
There are various wings which undertake different courses as
follows:
• The Administrators Wing conducts courses in Stress Management, the
Art of Communication, Harmony in Relationships, Attitudinal Change,
Self-Management and Raja Yoga Meditation.
• The Art & Culture Wing aims to inspire artists to become
instruments in creating an entirely new horizon of art and culture,
that of value-based art. For this, preparation of the minds of
artists is also necessary. The Wing therefore conducts trainings,
seminars, and Rajyoga meditation camps for all types of artists,
from dancers to dramatists, poets to painters, sculptors to singers.
In order to promote the concept of value-based art and culture, the
Wing organises exhibitions, musical / social get-togethers, and
poetry readings and stages a variety of artistic and cultural
performances as well as workshops at the Vishwa Vidyalaya's events.
• The Business & Industry Wing is committed to the development of
value-based management, sound, equitable business practices and
individual excellence. The Wing organises numerous conferences,
festivals, workshops, lectures, and exhibitions.
• The Jurists' Wing proposes a new science of law called 'Om Shanti
Jurisprudence'. Based on an understanding of natural and divine
laws, this spiritually empowered juris- prudence takes a
fundamentally holistic view of the universe. It requires an
understanding of how a human being can be transformed so that
whatever he or she does is righteous, that is, the right thing to
do.
• Education wing provide training and refresher courses of educators
which will enable the spiritual empowerment of the educators
themselves as well as their students.

achieving a high level of purity of thought, word and deed. |
