[29/08, 8:33 am] +91 98107 16973: *Do We Feel The Need For Change In The World?*
We are at a time in the world when the world has seen a lot of achievements in every sphere of life and living life is full of many comforts and positive benefits. Overall, we feel we have entered a very modern era, full of technology and the world beautifully connected like never before. But at the same time, there is a growing concern in the world that people may be coming close through different forms of media and in many other ways, but they are moving away from each other in love and understanding. Also, magical medical cures for the human body are available today, which were not available a few years back, but at the same time physical and mental illnesses are increasing at such a fast speed that many people wonder what is happening to the world and why many people are dying young and under unexpected circumstances and many families are losing their loved ones because of health problems so suddenly. In the present world, the mind suddenly wants a lot and very soon and almost always it is not satisfied enough. We don't know why we have become so complex and full of anger, ego, greed, jealousy, hatred and worry in our personality.
Today, people are happy in some ways but not permanently. They have immense sources of entertainment but at the same time, a large number of different reasons for pain and stress have arisen. Earning money is easy for some and for some who are not so successful, it is the most difficult aspect of their lives, which they have to constantly fight with. In a world of higher and lower as well as divisions between people on many other issues, survival is difficult for many people in the world. That is why today, the world is looking for some change, which can arrest these problems as well as stop the degradation which is taking place in the world. Spiritual wisdom and meditation are tools given by God to the world, which help in reviving the soul and its relationship with God – the Supreme Soul and also in filling the soul with its original virtues - peace, joy, love, bliss, purity, power and truth. Soul healing is the key to healing all the different aspects of our personal lives, our society as well as the world.

*1. Do Not Absorb:* It's easy to absorb and recreate the negative energy of others especially if we take it personally. The best real-life example in the world is watching television and being exposed to other forms of media. That's where many people practice getting sucked into the drama of others and recreating the emotional states of others within themselves. And then, when they step out into real life, they are conditioned in judging and perceiving others that way and generating negative energy of their own towards others.
*2. Do Not Reflect:* If we send back negative energy what will they do? Likely send it back to us. And what will we do? Send it back to them. And so on. It's called the _ding dong_ of relationships. And how long does it go on for? Sometimes years in corporate organisations. Sometimes lifetimes in families.
*3. Transform:* Each of us has the ability to transform energy. When the child throws the angry tantrum does the mother throw it back? No, she accepts the energy of the child's mood, receives it, turns it around, and gives back love in the form of understanding or empathy or support. So if we can do it with children why not with everyone? Someone has to break out of the repetitive cycle and what usually becomes a habitual creation and projection of negative energy. In any relationship let us be the one who transforms and sends back positive energy.

[31/08, 8:55 am] +91 98107 16973: *Overcoming The Fear Of Public Speaking*
Many of us feel nervous, shy, break into sweat or fear the thought of public speaking. Did you know that public speaking is among the most feared activities in the world? Some of us feel it is not our strength and fear being judged. Public speaking is an essential skill to effectively convey what we want to.
1. Your thoughts, feelings, personality, values – they are all a packet of your energy called vibrations. These vibrations reach people before your words. They are the first level of your communication with others. So keep them pure.
2. Meditation and daily study of spiritual wisdom every morning keeps your thoughts clean and less. When you start thinking right and positive, you will no longer need to be careful with your words. You will speak what you think, believe and live by.
3. Focus on conveying the message, not on impressing your listeners. Do not compare or compete with others. Stand by the truth, untouched by people’s opinion.
4. Visualize yourself respectfully sharing what is in your inner consciousness - your wisdom, skills, views or experiences with a selfless intention of giving. Visualize people who receive your message getting positively influenced.

[02/09, 9:51 am] +91 98107 16973: *Keeping Your Mood Happy And Positive Always*
Do you experience wavering moods from feeling joyful to sad, or from feeling peaceful to restless? If occasional mood fluctuations are not addressed, they may lead to frequent mood swings. It is important that our mood is always positive and energizing. Otherwise swinging from one mood to another can leave us feeling discontented and tired.
1. Variation in moods is a result of your fluctuating thought quality. Check what thoughts trigger a mood change, list down your bad moods, and reflect how you behave when you experience mood swings.
2. A bad or low mood created in one scene, if not corrected, gets recorded on your subconscious mind. Any small trigger re-activates it and makes it your prevailing mood. This means, if you stay in a sad mood for long, it becomes a frequent state of mind and eventually gets ingrained into your personality.
3. By feeding your mind with pure, positive thoughts and feelings every morning through spiritual study and meditation, you will consciously choose a right thought and right feeling in every scene. Your mood will not be dictated by people, objects or situations.
4. Situations change constantly and can often be challenging. If you let them be your source of happiness, life becomes a roller coaster of good and bad moods. But if you realize that happiness is your nature, life becomes smooth and comforting always.

*1. Remember You Are Creating A Child In Your Image* - Your child is your reflection. You not only bring the child in this world but gift the child with your personality which it imbibes from you apart from its own unique personality which it brings from its past.

Create A Dream For The Child And Gift The Dream To Your Child* - Gift your child with a dream of perfection, in which the child is complete in all respects and help the child fulfill that dream by sharing spiritual wisdom and positive affirmations with the child everyday, which is his key to unlocking all treasures in life.
*3. Your Relationship With Your Spouse Nourishes Your Child With Love* - To bring up a child who is full of peace, love and joy and is well balanced physically, mentally and socially, have a deep and constant bonding, full of love with your spouse and create an atmosphere of peace, love and joy at home.
*4. Fill Yourself With God's Blessings And Bless Your Child With Them* - Every morning make an appointment with God and fill yourself with His purest love and blessings and then bring your child in touch with those blessings. They will create magic and miracles in your child's life and make the child successful at every step.
*5. Remain Free From Stress Always To Create A Stable And Strong Child* - Be busy yet easy and don't hurry and worry in any sphere of life. When you become perfect in managing your family and work and when you also manage your time well, your well balanced and peaceful personality will create a stable and strong child.

[04/09, 9:25 am] +91 98107 16973: *How Does God Purify The World (Part 1)?*
We are living in a world of 8 billion people and a large number of different species of animals, birds and other organisms. Also, the world is made up of physical nature consisting of the five elements – earth, water, fire, air and space. As revealed by God, it is the law of the World Drama that God, all souls of all species in the world including humans, and physical nature are eternal and this World Drama of 5000 years involving these three repeats itself again and again on planet Earth. All souls have fixed roles in different births in the World Drama. They play these roles again and again as the World Drama repeats. At the beginning of the World Drama, all souls are pure. They become pure to impure in the journey of birth and rebirth and impure to pure again at the end of the World Drama, with the help of God.
God’s Supreme Energy is the most influential and powerful energy that exists in this World Drama. The spiritual energy of human souls is the second most influential and powerful. After that is the energy of souls of other living beings of different species. This is like a hierarchy – God is at the top of the hierarchy, below God are human souls, below human souls are the souls of the millions of different species of different living beings and at the bottom of the hierarchy is physical nature of the five elements, which includes plants and trees as well as land, seas, rivers, mountains etc., which do not have souls.

[05/09, 7:49 am] +91 98107 16973: *How Does God Purify The World (Part 2)?*
God is the One who is beyond change and remains constant in His purity, qualities and powers. As revealed by God through His spiritual wisdom, the World Drama of 5000 years on Earth goes through four equal phases – the Golden Age, Silver Age, Copper Age and the Iron Age, of 1250 years each. The first two phases are ones in which all human souls and souls of other species are completely pure and happy and there is 100% harmony in the world. Even nature is completely peaceful and pure. In the beginning of the third phase or Copper Age, after a journey of a few births, starting from the Golden Age, the spiritual power of human souls reduces slightly. Because of that, they start coming under the influence of body consciousness and the five vices - lust, anger, greed, attachment and ego and start becoming impure. Also, souls of other species, because of a reduction in their own spiritual power and also because they get influenced by the negative vibrations of human souls, they start becoming impure and start coming under the influence of the five vices. This process creates a negative environment in nature and its spiritual vibrations also start becoming negative and impure. As we come to the end of the fourth phase or the Iron Age, which is the present time, the impurity in all three reaches its maximum. Since God is above all three and at the top of the hierarchy, He fulfills His responsibility of making all three pure at this time, which is the Confluence Age or the Age of World Transformation between the Iron Age and Golden Age. After the Confluence Age, the Golden Age begins again and the World Drama of 5000 years repeats again.
How does God purify human souls, souls of different species and nature at the present time, which is the Confluence Age in the World Drama? The first step is that God shares spiritual wisdom with human souls about Himself, souls and their births and the World Drama of 5000 years and its repetition. He teaches them how to become soul conscious and connect with Him and remember Him in the soul world, which exists beyond the physical Universe, through the process of meditation. Also, He teaches human souls how to imbibe divine qualities like purity, humility, tolerance and contentment and how to serve other human souls and the world with the wisdom, qualities and powers which they have received from God. All these four aspects i.e. wisdom, meditation, imbibing of divine qualities and spiritual service help in purifying human souls and making them soul conscious and they also help in purifying the world.

[06/09, 8:53 am] +91 98107 16973: *How Does God Purify The World (Part 3)?*
As we have discussed in yesterday’s message, that all the souls of the world perform many negative and impure actions in the Copper Age and Iron Age. As a result, sanskars of negativity and impurity have got created in every soul of the world in these last two phases of the World Drama. Also, the soul world is the original home of all human souls, from where they have come in this physical world to play their roles through different physical bodies in different births. All human souls were completely pure in their original stage when they were in the soul world and when they began their roles in the physical world. Now, at the end of the Iron Age, it’s time for all human souls to purify themselves completely and then return back to the soul world. This will happen through two ways – 1. through their connection with God and the four aspects discussed in yesterday’s message – spiritual wisdom, meditation, imbibing of divine qualities and spiritual service. 2. And also, by settling some of their past negative actions by facing different types of negative situations and their effects, like illnesses, natural calamities, climate change and global warming, financial problems, conflicts in different types of relationships, conflicts between countries and between different sections of society, criminal activities, and others, which are increasing in the world everyday in people’s lives and on a global level.
After this process of complete purification takes place, there will come a time, when all the human souls of the world, will start returning back to the soul world. Also, souls of other species will get purified by going through different types of negative situations. They will also get influenced by the pure vibrations of human souls. They will not connect with God or understand His wisdom. As a result of the purification of human souls and souls of other species, complete physical nature will also get purified, because it will receive their pure vibrations. After this return of human souls to the soul world, they will stay over there in silence for some time and then after rest in that world, they will come down on Earth at different times to play their roles, depending on how pure they are. The purer souls will come down on Earth earlier. The two phases of purity will take place on Earth again and then the two phases of negativity and impurity will take place after that once more. This is how the World Drama of 5000 years will repeat itself. In this entire process, which is eternal, God is always constant in His spiritual stage and purifies the world, whenever it becomes impure. This happens again and again and is an eternal process, just like the World Drama is eternal.

[07/09, 8:49 am] +91 98107 16973: *Think Of Other People Only When Necessary*
It is a simple law of science that whoever we think of often, we get connected to them mentally. If we think of someone who is upset, we feel pain. Spiritual wisdom tells us to constantly remember God. When we remember someone, we get connected to their state of mind. We start feeling the same emotion they are feeling – may be stress, fear or anger.
1. Check if there is someone who lives on your mind on and off. It could be someone you are emotionally attached to, or even someone you don’t like. This means your thoughts reach them, trigger a thought in their mind, and their thoughts reach you back. You’re connected thought-to-thought.
2. Recall times when you suddenly felt low or uneasy and did not know why. Maybe you remembered someone who was worried or unhappy at that moment.
3. Criticizing, hating or fearing people lowers your energy. Suppose your office colleague is not performing well. Suggest improvements to them with dignity. After that don’t think negatively when you think of them or meet them.
4. Not just during meditation but throughout the day, even as you carry out all day-to-day activities, remember God to get connected to His frequency. He is the Ocean of peace, love, joy and power. So you will get influenced by His vibrations and start feeling the same.

Why did Shri Parvati Ji shape a child out of dirt from her body? What caused Shri Shankar Ji to place an elephant's head on the torso of an innocent boy? And why is *SHRI GANESH JI* depicted with such distinctive features, holding 6 alankars, and riding a mouse? Each detail carries a powerful lesson on *overcoming obstacles, dissolving sorrows, & embracing true happiness*. Dive into these insights by *Sister BK Shivani* in the video.
[09/09, 9:25 am] +91 98107 16973: *The Divinity And Spirituality Of Ganesh Chaturthi (Part 1)*
This year *Ganesh Chaturthi will be celebrated from September 7th to 17th*. We understand the true meaning of the birth of Sri Ganesh. The mythological story goes that Sri Shankar Ji cut the head of a child, which Sri Parvati Ji had created out of the dust on her body to guard the gate when she wished to bathe, and then Sri Shankar Ji placed the head of an elephant on the child’s body. This symbolizes that God - The Supreme Father finishes our head of ego and replaces it with a head of wisdom. Wisdom gives us the strength to destroy all our obstacles or become a Vighna Vinashak in our life, which Sri Ganesh is symbolic of. Let’s understand all the other aspects of Sri Ganesh and their divinity and spirituality –
1. The large forehead of Sri Ganesh signifies wisdom. When we study the spiritual knowledge given by the Supreme Father and inculcate it in our every thought, word and action, we become full of wisdom.
2. Broad ears shaped like sieves (filters) mean that we consume only that which is good in every person and situation. Imbibing pure information keeps the mind clean.
3. Small eyes are symbolic of farsightedness, which means see the future result of each karma, before we do the karma today.
4. A small mouth of Sri Ganesh is a reminder for us to speak less and each word should be a blessing for our self and others.
5. The trunk is powerful enough to uproot trees and soft enough to pick a child. This means we need to be soft and strong emotionally. We need to keep a balance of love and law while performing our responsibilities.
6. Sri Ganesh is shown with only one tusk. It signifies that we should not be caught into dualities of likes and dislikes, pleasure and pain, pleasant and unpleasant, good and bad. We have to overcome these and develop contentment and remain peaceful in all circumstances.

7. The large stomach of Sri Ganesh represents the power to accommodate. We should not talk to others about people’s weaknesses and their incorrect actions.
8. An axe, rope and lotus are shown in Sri Ganesh’s hands and his one hand is giving blessings. Axe represents the power to cut negative habits. Rope is symbolic of remaining tied to the discipline of a pure lifestyle. Lotus life means living in the muddy surroundings but untouched and pure. The hand of blessings means irrespective of how others behave, our thoughts and words for them should only be a blessing.
9. He is shown sitting with one leg touching the ground and other folded. This is a reminder for us to remain grounded and humble. To be in the world and yet detached from it.
10. The modak placed in one of his hands represents success as a result of hard work. But he is never shown eating it, which means achieve success but don’t take credit for it. Modak also symbolizes unity and co-operation since all 5 fingers are needed to make a modak.
11. The mouse which is shown close to Sri Ganesh’s feet symbolizes victory over vices and desires. Just as a mouse quietly enters a house even through a tiny hole, vices enter a soul who is not alert. When we imbibe all the qualities of Sri Ganesh, we will overpower our vices and desires.
When we start experiencing and expressing the divine qualities as symbolized by Sri Ganesh in our every thought, word and action, our obstacles get destroyed and we enjoy purity, peace and prosperity at every step in our lives.

[11/09, 1:13 pm] +91 98107 16973: *Meet People With A Clean Slate*
If your office colleague made a mistake today, will he repeat it tomorrow? If your family member was rude to you today, will he not change tomorrow? Instead of looking forward to a better tomorrow, do you jump to a negative conclusion - _These people will never change!_ Whether we realize or not, everyone is constantly changing, either for better or worse. This means people who gave us tough times today could leave us feeling pleasant tomorrow. We just need to take care that we change to be better – more accepting, respectful, compassionate. Complaining and criticizing deplete our energy further. Understanding that the other person might have had a bad day today, let’s bless both of us: _My next interaction with him will be awesome_. Our vibrations uplift us and empower them. Each day is a new beginning; each hour is a fresh start. Let’s meet people with a _clean slate_ each time – deleting unpleasant memories, perceptions and preconceived notions from our mind.
Whether we realize it or not, we are all changing at every moment because of information, because of past experiences or because of our desire to change. We and other people are no longer who we were yesterday, last month or last year. When we delete the past images of people, we perceive them fresh in each meeting. Take a moment to prepare yourself to interact with everyone in a healthy manner today. When you remove the filter of the impression you had created based on your previous meeting, you see people the way they truly are today. You stop referring to the past, so you do not influence the present or future with the energy of the past. By doing this you will heal yourself, heal your relationships and radiate clean vibrations.
