Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya, (Brahma Kumaris in short) is a unique, spiritual, value-based educational institution. The Vidyalaya and two institutions created by it, namely Rajyoga Education and Research Foundation, and Brahma Kumaris Academy for a Better World, are dedicated to the goal of establishing a value-based society. They focus on development of human potential, bringing harmony into human relationships and changing the attitudes and outlook of people to promote the spirit of brotherhood, love and co-operation. The institution is open to all irrespective of caste, creed, age and social, economic or political status.
In order to achieve the goal of establishing a new world order in which there is honesty, sincerity and goodwill, the three institutions help people get a clear vision of their goal and their role in the world. They give people knowledge of their true identity and teach the theory and practice of Rajyoga meditation, by which one can become free of stress, anger, hatred and other negativity that causes conflicts in society and degrades the individual. They offer guidance in the inculcation of moral values and divine virtues that enable individuals to experience lasting peace and bliss.
The institution recognizes the intrinsic spirituality of every human being and helps people rediscover the goodness within them, thus encouraging and facilitating the development of spiritual awareness through a process of lifelong learning. The institution’s purpose is to share its vision of a world where people live in harmony with others and to strengthen individual awareness of the dignity and inherent worth of every human being.
Rajyoga Meditation
The word yoga means connection. In Rajyoga meditation, the soul can experience a connection, or mental link, with the Supreme Soul. The process of establishing this link begins with a journey into one’s inner world to discover one’s true, spiritual identity.
The process of going within, experiencing oneself as a spiritual being or soul, which is a luminous, sentient point of energy, and then connecting with the Supreme Source of energy empowers the self in a lasting way.
This process of self-empowerment is entirely voluntary and involves no element of suppression or coercion of the mind. It is all about aligning one’s thoughts, feelings, words and actions with the soul’s innate qualities of peace, love, bliss and truth.
