Since childhood, I was exposed to lots of spiritual as well religious activities in our typical Hindu family. I feel, India is a land of ancient wisdom, knowledge and spirituality and that is why, almost every home must be having someone in the family closely connected with spirituality very strongly.
In my family, there was one distant uncle who was a saint in some ashram in Haridwar or Rishikesh. I remember those days when my aunt used to take me along for his satsang (spiritual discourse). Also, it was a routine to visit temple, to keep fasts, do prayers at home and so on. This environment also allowed me to read publications from various sects established in the field of religion and spirituality.
It was only after coming in contact with Brahma Kumaris and their teachings, that all the learnings taken and accumulated over the years started falling in line with the realities of life. It was only with the lessons of spirituality taken at Brahma Kumaris that my young (teenage) mind could put two plus two together.
The spiritual teachings were as impressive as the people connected with the organization, needless to say, those who were managing the Brahma Kumaris centres and staying full time at the BK Headquarters at Mount Abu were truly angelic. There smiles were natural, true and refreshing for the hearts of those who would meet them.
Much more phenomenal was the impact of the dynamic personality of the images seen across Brahma Kumaris premises all over the globe, whom they affectionately call Brahma Baba. Brahma Baba, as the name gives the feeling of a fatherly affection, was a renowned business man from Hyderabad Sindh (part of undivided Bharat before Independence). His name was Lekhraj Kripalani and his jewellery business had brought him wealth and reputation in the society.
In person he exhibited clarity of thought, religious inclination coupled with religious practices, dedication for Gurus, and noble behaviour. His charismatic pictures in Meditation Rooms of Brahma Kumaris have such strong positive powerful vibrations, the aura of the places is strong and divine, that every time it seems to be showering love and power and that too, unconditionally.
Even for newcomer without the knowledge of Rajyoga Meditation, it usually comes as an experience of power and offers solutions to many problems that they might be facing internally.
To my such short visits to these Meditation Rooms, it’s like reaching a fresh water stream when you are exhausted travelling in the heat of hot sandy deserts. And, Dada Lekhraj Kripalani or Brahma Baba is a True Role model demonstrating a living example of ‘Simple Living, High Thinking.
