Today's Random Thoughts, Quotes & Message of Love ~*~
Love is the greatest healer and when we love from a pure heart, the old ego melts away and the inner heart smiles. So let your joy out, scream, cry and jump around. Good to move the inner organs.
Be a star of peace, love flows from your heart and you discover life is a joy.
A doctor does not cure your illness. The doctor is merely a guide for climbing a mountain. The one who climbs is always you. You are the lead character. Unless you have the will to climb, you cannot climb to the top.
When you reach the top, you can jump off, let go, surrender and you will see you have wings to fly.
Some never fly because the doctor was trying to cure the illness.
You are healed now and can fly higher than one imagines.
Take the first step to the mountain top.
You are the mountain and wind beneath my wings.
============================
Success comes through maintaining self-respect. Where there is self-
respect, there is naturally a stable state of mind, even in the most
challenging and difficult times. This in turn brings right judgment
at all times, which allows discrimination between right and wrong.
Right judgment leads to right actions. So there is constant success
for such a person. Self-respect is the state of mind where I am able
to appreciate my own uniqueness and give regard to myself. When I am able to be in my stage of self-respect, I am able to be stable in all
situations. This seat of internal stability keeps me light and easy
under all circumstances. I am also able to experience constant
success even in the most difficult and challenging times.
============================
Give My Best
Learning to enjoy the present moment and give my best regardless of the situation protects me from becoming jaded by life. When my stamina begins to diminish, I pour love into every task and my energy will be replenished.

"Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist; observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the web."
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, iv.
===========================
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

World Meditation to be Held Around the Globe-
Dear Family of Light,
Sending everyone special love, harmony and peace from the sacred land Colombia.
Much to share in this special time for me, a time to reawaken my promise and live
the dream of destiny.
Also a time to remember a very unique man, Prajapita Brahma, the founder of the
Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University.
On January 18, 2009 more than 1 million Raja Yogis from around the world will
gather in peaceful meditation and loving service for a day of Silence and Peace.
Imagine it as a day to serve the world with your powerful thoughts and connect
with the Seed of the Human World Tree. The power of my mind transcends the limits
of time, the universe and space. Let me share with you a unique story of a man
named Prajapita Brahma who has changed the world of many souls including myself.
In 1986, my life was in disarray, I had just had a NDE in a car crash and somehow
God was sending me a message. Seeing my life flash before me and then traveling
to a land of peace and silence gave me new insight to the mystery of the soul,
God and Nature. My life has never been the same and to this day I still dream of
this man who inspired millions to understand the truth about and Time and souls
in a new clear way. Even today, his inspiration is a living testament to Faith in
God and Service to Humanity.
The year was 1936 and the world was in conflict. There was a need for a new
vision, a spiritual awakening and God had a plan.
What if you were to receive the news today that you were going to be granted a
Divine Vision.... That happened to Dada Lekhraj in an ancient city in India.
Divine Visions
Dada Lekhraj born 1876 had a very humble beginning as the son of a schoolmaster.
Born in a middle class family, he rose quickly in his profession through hard
effort, honesty combined with cleverness and focused intellect, to become one of
the richest men in India. He was a very pious, humble, accurate, disciplined,
noble, Godly, spiritual minded and devotee of the highest order. He was trusted
and respected by all people who knew him, including kings during that period. His
diamond business was instrumental in creating crowns and special jewels for the
Royalty of India. He was an ordinary person in the sense that he was neither a
mass leader nor a politician; neither a saint nor a scientist. But he was a man
with special qualities. He was a man on a mission and God was his wings of love.
Dada was contemplating a life of retirement as was the custom when you reach 60
years of age. A life in complete devotion to God and service for humanity.
But little did he realize that something out of the world would happen in his
life. Something so extraordinary and amazing that his life would never be the
same. He was stunned by a series of divine visions that took many years to
understand, but as God works in mysterious ways he had the faith that he was
being chosen for a special task.
Dada was sitting in the back hall of his bungalow with a group of fellow
disciples of his guru, he began to get a strange feeling and an experience of
lightness. He recognized these unique inner sensations as the onset of a
spiritual encounter, but still he didn't understand the cause or why it was
happening. Yet there was exquisite sense of heightened perception, a new clarity
of mind and vision. A powerful intuitive grasp of reality was growing in him. He
went to his meditation room to get away from the company of his visitors. As he
sat alone, absorbed in the incomprehensible manifestations of a peace, new levels
of his being was emerging. He was filled with a divine intoxication and waves of
bliss surged on him, drenched him in ecstasy. He had gone beyond all
consciousness of his body; he was a pure soul, pure light, floating in an ocean
of bliss. Then a revelation: a vision of the four-armed deity of Vishnu, the
symbol of the perfect man and woman. “Hum So, So Hum, I am you and you are me.”
He didn’t understand.
Few days later, Dada received a double revelation: first a vision of Shiva
Paramatma ( The Supreme Soul whose eternal form is a Point of Light ), This
Loving Light seemed to be an Ocean of Peace and Bliss. Shiva was manifesting
Himself on Earth as he promised many years ago. When the World reaches its most
degraded state, I, Shiva must return to restore balance and peace to my children.
After this vision he saw a great war on earth with natural calamities and many
souls suffering. Dada was crying and didn't understand what this all meant, but
deep inside he felt that peace that only God can give.
The vision of Shiva (meaning World Benefactor) helped him to understanding his
own identity. The Supreme Soul is a Point of Light. His children, souls are also
tiny stars, sparks of conscientious light. We the souls take bodies and play out
our roles on the stage of the physical world, while Shiva, the Supreme Light
remains in His eternal form in Nirvana, tha land beyond sound. By taking birth
and rebirth, we forget who we are, we become trapped in the body and lose our
peace. God knows the entire cosmic play, the beginning, the middle and the end of
the drama, the Alpha and the Omega. At the end of the play, He-She comes and
tells us the story of life and teaches the ancient Raja Yoga to become Kings
again. Raja means king and it is a mastery of the inner kingdom. Perfection is
possible as Brahma became the perfect example of service to God and the World.
Abraham or Brahma means the Father of Humanity.
Dada saw very powerful bombs with guided missiles that created havoc on earth.
Gigantic fireballs, cities in flames, war and suffering were raging everywhere.
When he received these visions, America had not dropped the first atomic bombs.
What did this all mean?
Dada also saw civil wars mainly in India, culminating in an awesome wave of
natural catastrophes: floods and tidal waves, earthquakes and volcanoes, nature
was out of balance. Dada began to tremble uncontrollably witnessing the scenes
of this great world wide transformation. But there was no escape. Then the silent
aftermath. Dada, who had never shed a tear, was weeping now. “Oh, God, please
stop this, please stop this!” he cried. “What a terrible war! Please, now show me
your other side, your beautiful form.”
In the midst of this chaos, Dada saw a group of people dressed in white
meditating on a mountain top. He could see a wonderful light leaving their 3rd
eye and traveling to a world of peace and silence. Then these lights returned to
the world of heaven. It was like deities being born on a new earth again. A
Golden Age where love and peace was the rule. All memory of the past is gone and
the cycle spins eternally.
With these visions, everything changed for Dada, even his name. God said, "Now
you will be Brahma."
Brahma Baba, as I like to call him, could not apply his mind to his diamond
business any more. It simply had no interest. He decided to wind up his affairs.
He had owned his shop for so many years, and yet it all looked so strange to him,
so meaningless. He walked down the aisles of his jewelry warehouse, looking at
the trays full of glittering diamonds, millions of dollars worth of gems,
gleaming symbols of the greatest wealth, and he felt that they were simply
stones, worthless hunks of mineral.
Later, Baba saw the moment of his uncle’s death. He saw the soul leave the body,
exiting through the forehead. Life energy, rising like mercury in a thermometer,
moved up from the toes and concentrated in the head. In an instant the soul
departed. Thus he understood the process of death. Only the body died, not the
soul.
These visions continued periodically over several months. They gave him new
insights into the innate qualities of human souls, revealed the mysterious entity
of God and described the process of world transformation. The intensity of the
messages conveyed by the visions was such that Brahma Baba felt compelled to wrap
up his worldly business and devote himself to understanding the significance and
application of this revealed knowledge. Although the visions ceased, their Source
remained with him for the next 3 decades, guiding his transformation as well as
that of those around him.
Brahma Baba’s Legacy
72 years have passed since Brahma Baba received those visions. Who could have
guessed – besides those touched by similar visionary experiences – that the young
women he placed at the forefront of the institution he founded would now be on
the world stage, sharing platforms with political and religious leaders at the
highest level, and leading a lifestyle revolution currently followed by nearly
one million people from all backgrounds of culture and religion, race and
society? Or that millions of others – at this time when loss of integrity in
human hearts and minds has plunged so many into despair – would be taking benefit
from the teachings he transmitted, finding empowerment in the present and hope
for the future?
The living skills that Brahma Baba taught have stood the test of time. The young
women that he put to the forefront, now in their eighties and nineties, have
become beacons of love, peace and happiness in a world increasingly troubled by
disordered relationships, greed, addiction, anger and violence. They are now
angels waking amongst us.
Brahma Baba passed on in 1969 at the age of 93. The Tower of Peace on the
Madhuban campus is a tribute to the invincible spirit of this ordinary human
being who achieved greatness by rising to the challenge of the deeper truths of
life.
Last night I was watching the news and saw a documentary about the future of war
and the terrible act of kidnapping. Amazing to live in a country where innocent
people are taken away and held for ransom, some for 10 years. You see the Iraq
war. conflict in Isreal and wonder why all the killing. It seems the visions
Brahma Baba had, I was watching on TV.
What impressed me the most about Brahma Baba was his understanding of the need
for women to be spiritual leaders. He never said he was God, only an instrument
for the Supreme. He only saw the good in each soul and for 14 years he isolated
himself in Karachi to study this new wisdom from the highest source.
When I walked into the Raja Yoga center in Bogotá in 1986, I saw the photo of
Brahma and when I looked into his eyes...I felt I knew him before. Deja Vu big
time.
Chills ran up my back and here I was with Dadi Janki, a spiritual leader who knew
Brahma since the beginning. She saw him in action and today she is considered one
of the most stable minds in the world. A women of wisdom and a true example of
walking the talk, peace is your birthright and now is the time to receive it
again.
Another aspect of Brahma's teachings is the need to purify the soul on all
levels. Purity is deeply connected to self respect. Since a little kid I wanted
to be a priest, but as I grew up, I lost some faith in the Church and didn't
agree with the idea of hell. Reincarnation for me was a fact, not what we hear
from the pulpit today.
I took the Raja Yoga Course in 2 days and was invited to a spiritual retreat in
the Colombian mountains. One of the last lessons is the disciplines of a true
Raja Yogi.
They told me waking up early in the morning is helpful...now I sleep 4 hours a
day and like clockwork my eyes open at 4 am, sometimes I stay awake till 2 and
wake at 6 am to go to my song divine class. We call it the murli and it is like
God's love letter to me. I have found that taking an hour for meditation and
reading something spiritual before 7 am gives me so much peace, wisdom and power,
my day goes by like a breeze.
My teacher at that time was an Australian named Ken O'Donnell, he now runs the BK
Centers in Brazil and is an amazing musician, writer and biz consultant.
We were talking about purity and the need for deep soul consciousness. He told me
he had been practicing celibacy for 10 years and I couldn't believe it.
What now I have to give up sex? At that time I had a girlfriend who I loved very
much. But I had jealousy and sometimes it was hard to trust her because she was
not always honest. I knew if I got married, I would be divorced in 3 years
looking for the next one. Deep inside I knew true freedom was being pure and
simple. I did not want a ball and chain and one day I had a dream where I saw
myself as an angel of light taking all these beautiful women to get married with
God. From that day I decided to become pure, it has not been easy but the freedom
you feel seeing everyone as a soul and not needing to take power away or give my
power away has been a blessing. It seems that this kind of courage attracts God
into your life as you are going against the grain. My friends at first thought I
was crazy, but deep, profound change can only happen with a pure, honest and
clean mind.
Brahma Baba showed us that we can become angels, perfect men and women in balance
with our ying/yang and live like brothers and sisters.
I have a golden ring on my finger that was given to me by Dadi Janki many years
ago. This is my magic ring to see each one as divine beings of peace. One day we
will see each other in a Golden world and smile at the beauty of the play. The
rise and fall of Divine Beings and the magic of eternity in a second. We are
creating the new world now and it is the greatest gift to share the inner secrets
of the soul and how God reawakens us all.
May this day be blessed with peace, love, purity, power and bliss, once we were
all this and one day we will all return to innocence.
Enjoy the sounds of a new creation. U becoming a song for the Universe and a
memory that was written long ago. .
From the heart,
"Prakash"

you will be Brahma."
Brahma Baba, as I like to call him, could not apply his mind to his diamond
business any more. It simply had no interest. He decided to wind up his affairs.
He had owned his shop for so many years, and yet it all looked so strange to him,
so meaningless. He walked down the aisles of his jewelry warehouse, looking at
the trays full of glittering diamonds, millions of dollars worth of gems,
gleaming symbols of the greatest wealth, and he felt that they were simply
stones, worthless hunks of mineral.
Later, Baba saw the moment of his uncle’s death. He saw the soul leave the body,
exiting through the forehead. Life energy, rising like mercury in a thermometer,
moved up from the toes and concentrated in the head. In an instant the soul
departed. Thus he understood the process of death. Only the body died, not the
soul.
These visions continued periodically over several months. They gave him new
insights into the innate qualities of human souls, revealed the mysterious entity
of God and described the process of world transformation. The intensity of the
messages conveyed by the visions was such that Brahma Baba felt compelled to wrap
up his worldly business and devote himself to understanding the significance and
application of this revealed knowledge. Although the visions ceased, their Source
remained with him for the next 3 decades, guiding his transformation as well as
that of those around him.
Brahma Baba’s Legacy
72 years have passed since Brahma Baba received those visions. Who could have
guessed – besides those touched by similar visionary experiences – that the young
women he placed at the forefront of the institution he founded would now be on
the world stage, sharing platforms with political and religious leaders at the
highest level, and leading a lifestyle revolution currently followed by nearly
one million people from all backgrounds of culture and religion, race and
society? Or that millions of others – at this time when loss of integrity in
human hearts and minds has plunged so many into despair – would be taking benefit
from the teachings he transmitted, finding empowerment in the present and hope
for the future?
The living skills that Brahma Baba taught have stood the test of time. The young
women that he put to the forefront, now in their eighties and nineties, have
become beacons of love, peace and happiness in a world increasingly troubled by
disordered relationships, greed, addiction, anger and violence. They are now
angels waking amongst us.
Brahma Baba passed on in 1969 at the age of 93. The Tower of Peace on the
Madhuban campus is a tribute to the invincible spirit of this ordinary human
being who achieved greatness by rising to the challenge of the deeper truths of
life.
Last night I was watching the news and saw a documentary about the future of war
and the terrible act of kidnapping. Amazing to live in a country where innocent
people are taken away and held for ransom, some for 10 years. You see the Iraq
war. conflict in Isreal and wonder why all the killing. It seems the visions
Brahma Baba had, I was watching on TV.
What impressed me the most about Brahma Baba was his understanding of the need
for women to be spiritual leaders. He never said he was God, only an instrument
for the Supreme. He only saw the good in each soul and for 14 years he isolated
himself in Karachi to study this new wisdom from the highest source.
When I walked into the Raja Yoga center in Bogotá in 1986, I saw the photo of
Brahma and when I looked into his eyes...I felt I knew him before. Deja Vu big
time.
Chills ran up my back and here I was with Dadi Janki, a spiritual leader who knew
Brahma since the beginning. She saw him in action and today she is considered one
of the most stable minds in the world. A women of wisdom and a true example of
walking the talk, peace is your birthright and now is the time to receive it
again.
Another aspect of Brahma's teachings is the need to purify the soul on all
levels. Purity is deeply connected to self respect. Since a little kid I wanted
to be a priest, but as I grew up, I lost some faith in the Church and didn't
agree with the idea of hell. Reincarnation for me was a fact, not what we hear
from the pulpit today.
I took the Raja Yoga Course in 2 days and was invited to a spiritual retreat in
the Colombian mountains. One of the last lessons is the disciplines of a true
Raja Yogi.
They told me waking up early in the morning is helpful...now I sleep 4 hours a
day and like clockwork my eyes open at 4 am, sometimes I stay awake till 2 and
wake at 6 am to go to my song divine class. We call it the murli and it is like
God's love letter to me. I have found that taking an hour for meditation and
reading something spiritual before 7 am gives me so much peace, wisdom and power,
my day goes by like a breeze.
My teacher at that time was an Australian named Ken O'Donnell, he now runs the BK
Centers in Brazil and is an amazing musician, writer and biz consultant.
We were talking about purity and the need for deep soul consciousness. He told me
he had been practicing celibacy for 10 years and I couldn't believe it.
What now I have to give up sex? At that time I had a girlfriend who I loved very
much. But I had jealousy and sometimes it was hard to trust her because she was
not always honest. I knew if I got married, I would be divorced in 3 years
looking for the next one. Deep inside I knew true freedom was being pure and
simple. I did not want a ball and chain and one day I had a dream where I saw
myself as an angel of light taking all these beautiful women to get married with
God. From that day I decided to become pure, it has not been easy but the freedom
you feel seeing everyone as a soul and not needing to take power away or give my
power away has been a blessing. It seems that this kind of courage attracts God
into your life as you are going against the grain. My friends at first thought I
was crazy, but deep, profound change can only happen with a pure, honest and
clean mind.
Brahma Baba showed us that we can become angels, perfect men and women in balance
with our ying/yang and live like brothers and sisters.
I have a golden ring on my finger that was given to me by Dadi Janki many years
ago. This is my magic ring to see each one as divine beings of peace. One day we
will see each other in a Golden world and smile at the beauty of the play. The
rise and fall of Divine Beings and the magic of eternity in a second. We are
creating the new world now and it is the greatest gift to share the inner secrets
of the soul and how God reawakens us all.
May this day be blessed with peace, love, purity, power and bliss, once we were
all this and one day we will all return to innocence.
Enjoy the sounds of a new creation. U becoming a song for the Universe and a
memory that was written long ago. .
From the heart,
"Prakash"
