Mysore ( Karnataka ) : “Today, crime rate is increasing globally, but it is possible to curb it with the knowledge of ‘Rajayoga Karmasiddantha’ (about rebirth) taught at the Brahma Kumaris institute,” stated retired Superintendent of Police (SP) Nagappa. He expressed his opinion while inaugurating the Brahma Kumaris new Rajayoga Spiritual Education Centre in Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Nagar.
Founded in 1936 as a small women’s organisation, this organisation has now expanded to 147 countries worldwide within a short span of time, which is truly commendable. Visitors to this place will be drawn to the positive and peaceful atmosphere. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness about the consequences of their actions — both in the present and in the long run — has led to a rise in the number of crimes, Police Stations and Courts, which is a concerning development, he rued.
Veteran spiritual thinker BK Ranganath emphasised the urgency to replace the unrest prevailing in the world with peace. In pursuit of this objective, the new Rajayoga Spiritual Centre has been established.
ACP Gajendra Prasad stressed importance of elevated thinking, simple lifestyle and abstaining from negative habits as prerequisites for mental peace.
Lecturer Pandit Siddalingaswamy, retired SBI Manager Rangaswamy, and retired Deputy SP Krishnamurthy shared their experiences. The programme featured singing and dances.
Chief Convener of Mysuru Sub-Division BK Lakshmi highlighted that the Rajayoga education provided in this centre will facilitate holistic development, benefitting the residents of the area. The inaugural function was attended by BK Ramachandra, BK Rashmi, BK Shivaleela, BK Manjula, Maniyanna Kumar and BK Aradhya. To mark the occasion, a Shanti Shobha Yatra(peace rally) was organised by the Brahma Kumars, Brahma Kumaris, and students along the main streets of the locality.
