St. Lucia, Caribbean ( America ): An in-depth and heartfelt meeting took place between the Brahma Kumaris and His Excellency Emmanuel Neville Cenac, Saint Lucia’s Governor General. BK Payal and BK Chandra met the Governor General on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan festival and tied Rakhi to him.
The Governor mentioned that his mother, although not having much formal education, was given the education of values in life. The power of truth, which everyone must imbibe at an early age, comes from the foundation of the family or home. He defended and argued that there is God, who is a mystery to anyone who says that there is no God. All must respect the law of a country or the rules and stand up for democracy where everyone must stand up and speak for what they believe. He mentioned security and safety for all because if a country is not secured, no one will be safe even to go and buy bread. He raised the issue of sweetness, using the example of making coffee. If you put some coffee and sugar in a cup and do not stir it, it will taste bitter. You need to stir it to taste the sweetness. Similarly with God’s knowledge, you need to churn it or put it into practice to get the sweetness or benefit from it.
He mentioned the founder Father of the Brahma Kumaris who gave up all his wealth and put women in front as leaders of the organization.
The Governor General was very humble, soft-spoken, respectful, intelligent, has a great memory, and is resourceful.
