Rajasthan: On the 3rd of January President Droupadi Murmu graced the launch of the National Campaign on ‘RISE – Rising India through Spiritual Empowerment’, organized by Brahma Kumaris at Mount Abu, Rajasthan. She also virtually inaugurated the Brahma Kumaris Silence Retreat Centre at Secunderabad, Telangana, and laid the foundation stone for Brahma Kumaris Auditorium and Spiritual Art Gallery at Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
The President said that she has had a deep connection with the Brahma Kumaris Institution. Raja Yoga, which emphasizes inner spiritual power over external physical conveniences and events, was learned by her. When she was feeling darkness around her and lacked hope, this infused light, and enthusiasm into her life.
The President said that in this era of uncertainty, India is safeguarding its national interests while also playing the role of a harbinger of peace in the world. Our country is active in building a world order based on spirituality and morality according to its culture and tradition.
She said that she was confident that the ‘RISE’ campaign would contribute to making India a leading nation by spiritually empowering its people and supporting the welfare of all humanity.
President said Today we are facing an existential threat due to climate change. The COVID-19 pandemic has also highlighted the wide-ranging effects of climate change. Protection of the environment is also a kind of spiritual empowerment.
She said, “I believe that spirituality is the only ray of light that can show the right path to the entire humanity. In the Amrit Kaal, moving forward toward the golden India of 2047, our country has to use both science and spirituality for world peace”.
She also said, “The Brahma Kumari Institute is the world’s largest spiritual organization run by women. The success of the Brahmakumaris Sansthan proves that given the opportunity women can do work equal to men or maybe even better than them”.
About 5000 meditation centers in 137 countries are run by the Brahma Kumaris organization, the President noted. She said that the spiritual brothers assist women in playing leading roles in this organization. This is the largest spiritual organization run by women, which proves that women can do work at par with men, or perhaps even better, given the opportunity.
The Brahma Kumaris organization has played an active role in the empowerment of women, and she expressed happiness about it. Brahma Baba believes that the overall development of the world lies in the spiritual, social, and intellectual empowerment of all people, but especially women.
She said that Brahma Baba gave leading roles to women with this thinking and today’s world community needs more of similar thinking.
