6 MESSAGES FROM BRAHMA KUMARIS
Acquiring knowledge was once considered to be noblest. When we look at the modern society, more suffering, sorrow, fear, confusion, frustration are ascending or ruling the human mind. The problems of the modern society are due to lack of value - based life, clear vision and mission for a better society. I believe that our university education supported with education in values & spirituality can bring enlightenment, enrichment and empowerment among individuals and thus establish a peaceful and prosperous society. Rajyogini B.K. Dadi Janki Chief of Brahma Kumaris, Mount Abu.
The very purpose of education is to improve the quality of life, not based on knowledge alone but value - based education and knowledge. Not merely believing in skills for earning a living, education also is for life. This doctrine is the cause for comming tigether and has made to sign MoU between Annamalai University and Brahma Kumaris Education Wing Rajyoga Education and research Foundation. This will surely help the students to mould the attitudes, humane in temperaments, refine in approaches and divinity in spirit.
Rajyogini B.K. Hirdaya Mohini Additional Chief of Brahma Kumaris, Mount Abu.
Intelligence is defined as the ability to learn, understand and think in a logical way. It is an essential quality, which distinguishes human beings from other species. Spiritual Wisdom is a capability that is considered to be of a higher value than mere intelligence, and it encompasses an intuitive awareness of intention, clarity regarding the quality of action and an understanding of consequences. Thus it is infallibly reliable. Spiritually wise individuals are conscious of fundamental truths, moral principles practice values which validate the concept that souls are cast in God's own image.
Rajyogi B.K. Nirwair, Chairperson, Education Wing, RE & RF General Secretary, Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya.
The present day society is suffering from the cancer of terrorism, violence, hate-redness, fear and threats from nuclear weapons, natural calamities, environmental pollution, etc. Education has been considered as a powerful tool to empower human being and establish a peaceful society free from fear, sufferings and sorrows this is possible only when we educate people in values and spirituality. Rajyogi B.K.MRUTHYUNJAYA Vice-Chairperson, Education Wing, RE & RF, Executive Secretary, Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwarya Vishwa Vidyalaya 7 Brahma Kumaris Worldwide Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya is, in many ways, a unique Vishwa Vidyalaya; it is a well known spiritual value-based educational institution which has gained global acceptance and unique imitational recognition. Global acceptance of its teachings: The world-wide acceptance of its teachings can, perhaps, be gauged by the fact that its affiliate centers have spread in over 130 countries in all continents, and they number over 8000. Its recognition by various world bodies can be appreciated by the fact that It is affiliated to the Department of Public Information (DPI) of the United Nations as a Non- Governmental Orgnisation (NGO). In the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations, it holds Consultative Status. It has Consultative Status also with the UNICEF (UN Children’s Fund). The United Nations ‘University for Peace’ in Costa Rica receives its co-operation in the field of peace education by means of an official agreement. This Vishwa Vidyalaya has been awarded UN Peace Medals for 1981 & 1986. The Commonwealth of Russia has granted official recongnition to this Vishwa Vidyalaya. As a Vishwa Vidyalaya, it has a distinctive character such as : 1. Education for all: It is a Vishwa Vidyalaya where in the main emphasis of teachings on promoting, in every sphere, the qualities of humanism, tolerance and a never-ending enthusiasm for spreading the knowledge of truth. This believes that education should be for practical life and not merely for a vocation or a profession or job. 2. Meeting the Challenges : This Vishwa Vidyalaya is that it gives utmost importance to character-formation and to maintaining peace. According to these principles, it imparts such a knowledge and experience that enable a person to face the problems of life in a calm, composed and confident manner, and to stand like a rock in the midst of strong storms of circumstances. 3. Education that corrects imbalance in human personality: Above all, this Vishwa Vidyalaya feels that in the present system of education, there is over- stress on natural and biological science, commerce and economics, computer sciences, applied natural and biological science, commerce and economics, computer sciences, applied mathematics, statistics, etc., but education in other social sciences and humanities and more particularly in spiritual subjects has not only been relegated to the background but has deliberately been omitted from the curriculum. This resulted in a great imbalance in the development of human personality and society as a whole. So, this Vishwa Vidyalaya imparts education that satisfies man’s curiosity to find the answers to quotations like “ who am I? Where have I come from and where shall I return? 4. Holistic education relative to the present crisis: Thus, this is a unique Vishwa Vidyalaya, which wants to fill the gap that is left unfilled by most other universities. It does not want to impart education in all those subjects, which are already being taught at other universities, for that would just be the duplication or the overlapping of efforts. On the other hand, it imparts, though visibly spiritual in its content, is a happy blend of ethics, practical psychology, metaphysics or philosophy the gist of world history and culture, sociology, political science and, in fact, many other subjects. It Serve the various sectors of society with 18 wings co-ordinated under in sister organisation RE & RF since 1982. 8 This Vishwa Vidyalaya does not give any certificates, diplomas or degrees as none of these were give in the ancient past, or even till less than 200 years ago, for, these do not reflect the spiritual level of a person, nor does a spiritually elevated person seek a certificate or a commendation, because his or her own life is a certificate unto others. Aristotle, Copernicus, Newton and Einstein were much more than what any degree could signify their attainments. So were Mahatma Gandhi, Abraham Lingan, Swami Vivekanand and Buddha. Such are the idea of this Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya for it wants to revive that tradition of people with outstanding character at the helm of affairs at a time when society has almost stopped producing such high characters. In addition to its centres, the PBKIVV serves the various sectors of society through 18 Wings co-ordinated under its sister organization, the Rajyoga Education & Research Foundation, created in 1982. The aim and objectives of these wings are: To open and establish centres of Rajyoga To impart and propagate the principles of Rajyoga Education To propagate and encourage the study and practice of the principles of truth, nonvoilence, spiritual love and divine virtue To foster soul-consiousness and the spirit of universal brotherhood To remove superstition, blind faith and ignorance To work for the eradication of moral and social evils To spread and promote literacy amongst the masses To carry out activities for the upliftment and welfare of women To undertake scientific research in Rajyoga To work for and promote rural development The sectors served are: Administration, Art & Culture, Business & Industry, Education, Jurists, Media, Medical, Politicians, Religionist, Rural Development. Science & engineering. Security, Social Services, Sports, Transport, Women and Youth.
