Daughters of Brahma

“…Spirituality teaches us to challenge our belief systems. In religion we got confused because we left it at the level of belief; because we never experienced the truths. So many people ask you if you believe in God. They never ask if you have experienced God. Science and spirituality are connected. Both say the same things: Don’t believe, experience. However, very few people apply this wisdom. Sometimes we listen to profound words and go back in awe of the words and of the p...erson who delivered it. And that is it. We never try to apply it. I also think that it is most important to be simple. The sad part today is that everyone tries to make spirituality difficult. People assume that what is hard to get must be profound.”

~ Shivani Verma (born 1972) better known as BK Shivani is an Indian spiritual teacher and inspirational speaker and has been a Brahma Kumaris teacher and a member of the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University since 1995. The Brahma Kumaris ("daughters of Brahma") movement was founded by Dada Lekhraj Kripalani, who later took the name Brahma Baba. It is distinctly identified by the prominent role women play in the movement. Shivani conducts motivational courses through public seminars and television programs. Since 2008, she has become increasingly well known in India and among the Indian diaspora for her leading role in the Television series "Awakening with Brahma Kumaris", aired daily on Aastha channel.

 "Following the visions, Dada started sharing spiritual knowledge with his friends and relatives. When he told them that they were souls, they felt great joy, experiencing God’s love as it poured from Dada’s eyes. As others came in contact with him, they became transfixed. Men and women, rich and poor, all had this experience. As if the light of their life had been lit, they became self-aware. They experienced themselves as light. Along with this came peace of mind. Their desires and vices dropped away. Their lifestyle and behaviour changed. In a remarkably short time, the lives of all who came close to him were transformed. Thus started a unique spiritual gathering by the name of Om Mandli."
