Kolkata (West Bengal): The Foundation Stone of the “Global Enlightenment Centre” was laid by HE Shri Keshari Nath Tripathi, the Governor of West Bengal, in the divine presence of Rajyogini Dadi Janki, Chief of the Brahma Kumaris. The “Global Enlightenment Centre” will be one of several Spiritual Retreat Centres of the Brahma Kumaris across India and abroad. It will also be the first massive project of the Brahma Kumaris in West Bengal, to be developed 2 Km away from Amtala, in Village Ramkrishnapur, Bishnupur.

The event started with a traditional Bhoomi Puja (prayer). Thousands of brothers and sisters from Brahma Kumaris centres and a galaxy of eminent persons from different walks of life graced the occasion.

BK Punyavathi explained the details of the proposed spiritual retreat-cum-training centre with a video presentation.

Rajyogini Dadi Janki said, “Inner Peace and Inner Power are the need of the hour which can be obtained only through spirituality. The ‘Global Enlightenment Centre’ will fulfill this need.”

HE Shri Keshari Nath Tripathi said, “Its a matter of great pleasure that Brahma Kumaris are going to develop a Spiritual Retreat Centre here at Bishnupur, Amtala, South 24 Pgs. As I understand, Brahma Kumaris are the centres for peace and inspiration from where a feeling of world welfare is generated. Everyone should forget the differences of caste, creed and religion and get such great inspiration from Brahma Kumaris. I admire the activities of Brahma Kumaris and hope that we shall co-operate for the development of individual, family, society and the country by acquiring values and spirituality with dedication.”
