If someone you love is suffering from a bad time or an addition, here is a GOOD WAY to help them - both spiritually and emotionally. Here in this case the writter helped a friend who was in addiction who then didn't return the money. So we have explained here the BEST way to judge properly help someone withought getting cheated. Original Email Received in March 2019 OM SHANTI. I live inVancouver BC. I do follow lot of preachings says by sister shivani and the amazing part is it all worked for me yet. However,now I am very much confused whatever is going on in my life. According to sister shivani preachings, your thoughts should be pure...it’s not what you say,matter is what you think and how you think. You have to transform your vibrations. So,This story is about 2 years ago, I had friends group with whom I had huge fight,bad memories. But when I listened sister shivani expression on youtube, I realized to heal myself. So I started meditating and also started sending love vibes to them through meditation. So now That person is again coming back in my life but with the same intention. After like 2 yrs. Now I have moved on in my life, I explained that person everything but he is still holding that old energies. I don’t know what to do ? He is suffering from addiction. Another story is : One of my friend is in drug addiction and so I tried helping that person. So I just started making distance as I was not ready for it to balance myself with his vibes. So same I started healing myself and started sending love vibes through meditation. After 7 months that guy again came back called me and said, I am in a big problem, “ the story he told me, was He is getting deported back to India and he needs some money. I am still in a struggling period, So I said as long as you return it, I will help you. He said his best friend will return it and so I gave him. No one ever returned me the money. I thought that’s ok...may be he needed so that’s why...I left that... Took money from me and never returned it. Used some money in drugs which is not acceptable...But I want to be on right path...Want to know,why it’s happening, Please help me out....I want to be on right track want to further grow. Our Email Response + Guidance To: Aayushi & Everyone reading this From: Prajapita BrahmaKumari Ishwariya Vishwa Vidhyalay (Godfatherly University) This is the response to your email letter received on 4 March 2019. It can be understood that since you sent 'love' vibrations with an intention to change their sanskar - instead of being changed, they are attracted to you. You see love creates attraction. There are only 2 forces in life that puts you into action (karma), they are - love or fear. Either you can love, or fear. God teaches us to become aloof (detached) while doing our responsibilities. It is also not favourable to connect your intellect with someone who is in connection with 5 vices. Connect your intellect with God (the Supreme soul), who is full of peace, purity, powers and love. In this case, with a good intention, you helped someone. THat is not bad. But better was to first inquire if they really need money for the spoken purpose, or they are going to use for a bad purpose. Money was yours. If they use it for a wrong purpose, you are participating in that karma indirectly. Money is earned by hard work. It is right to help those in need, but first must check if they are REALLY in need and in How much need and When can they return the money. God says - ''Become Righteous''. Righteous means - one who does the ''right'' karma - not good, not bad. Only what is best. How can we know which is the best karma? It is simple -> ''The karma which keeps your mind stable and in order within and which gives peace, stability and happiness to others around - is the righteous karma'' Refer to Law of Karma - Way of Living In your case, your karma gave 'happiness' to that soul. But did it gave you inner peace, stability or to them? No. Why?? Because you didn't know if the money will be returned or for what purpose will it be used... ---------------- Coming to the question if how can you help overcome the wrong habits (smoking, etc) - this is in their hands. Everyone knows that this is very bad for our body. Then also they continue.! So there must be an ''awakening'' in them to realise and then only can they transform. The god way is this -> As he comes in contact - forward him the Awakening series on ''addiction'' and say this is helpful to you. This series is enough for anyone to come in the right path. You don't need to worry. Series on Addiction -> http://www.bkdrluhar.com/00-htm/Shivani-7009-08.htm ~~~ FOR YOU ~~~ Already you are in the path of Self-transformation and connected with Awakening.

Personal advice to resolve a family issue and misunderstandings. Our response to an email. Original Question via Email (in brief): Om Shanti. Hi I’m 25years old married based in Australia. I got married 4 years back in India and got married overseas. My husband is born and bought up in Australia and I live with my In-laws and my young sister in law who is 3 years younger than me. I always find hard living with my sister in law, when I came overseas she never talk to me. She never asked me if I need anything. I don’t know what sort of relationship I had with her. Its kind of confusing. I do not want to live to any of my in law incl my husband like how can he be so silence. Please sister help what should I do to bring my inside happiness back. I Can not live like this entire life as I have to stay with them but on their own terms. Our Answer (Response): To: Sabi (and everyone reading) Dear Divine Sister Your letter was received and read. You described in much detail, while there is no such problem seen anywhere. 1. Knowing you, it clearly seems, your life is much good in compare to many others. You should live happily. Why do you want to control everyone? They all are doing what they feel is right. If you are right, then why to worry? Truth reveals itself. No one needs to make efforts to reveal the truth. Be patient. 2. Your husband is mature enough. He is not indulging in such issue where he doesn't know what is right to do. Instead of creating a debate in family, he decided to remain silent and also he believed you when you told him the truth, isn't it? This is best - to remain in Silence. You should be instead very proud of and respect your husband. 3. Father in Law: You should behave and become very sweet and he will also forget the matters in short time. Try this: Wake up early in morning and serve him tea , etc. and give 'prasad' of temple. 4. Sister in Law: There is no issue. Is speaking with your sister in law - the aim of you life?? 5. Family (general): You are in a nice family. They are well behaved, educated and responsible. You should ignore little little things. This is how we live life. Your slogan for life: ''A wise person will make a mountain like problem into a small grain like. While a foolish person creates a mountain out of a little issue.'' Our Slogan: ''Never give sorrow. Never take sorrow.'' - Be happy, give love and take blessings.

Brahma Kumaris making centre contruction which disturbs the surrounding. Our Response to this asked question via Email. Original Question asked via Email: Dear ma'am, We are facing a lot of issues with the construction work going on in Chandigarh for your new center in sector 43. Pls see below. Kindly see NO corrective action has been taken despite visit and promises by your Chandigarh team (Ms. Kavita): 1. The labour is still burning wood. The photos show so much smoke. We are perpetually coughing morning and evening because of this fire and smoke. Our senior citizens and children will get sick thanks to your apathy!! 2. See the wall- the full 33 foot common wall has been built above the limit of 6 feet. Kindly get the illegal portion (right side) of wall/store demolished as discussed. This total apathy and lack of understanding towards your future neighbors and co-residents was not at all expected from a responsible organization like yours. Regards, Kavit Sharma Our Response (Answer to the Email) From: Prajapita Brahma Kumari Ishwariya Vishwa Vidhyalay To: Kavit Sharma ji Your letter is received and read. We apologize you for every inconvenience caused, which was unexpected. It is nice to see that there are still many wise and thoughtful people like you in Bharat (present India) who cares and still does not make a decision with a little experience. The meaning is - It is good that you have reported this. And it is even better that you understand that Prajapita Brahma Kumaris is a very reputed spiritual organisation cum Godly university, where we serve the knowledge of Raja Yog (soul, supreme soul, world drama, law of karma..) for a divine purpose, which has caused life transformation in many, who then started spreading the message of God. In doing so, we need to build a small centre, or atleast a 2 rooms house, where neighbors can gather and take the free 7 days course. That's all i expected. BUT we also realise that some sisters and brothers who ''seem'' to disturb the services on the name of Brahma Kumaris. Please forgive them. This happens because everyone is free to build a centre in the name of Prajapita Brahma Kumari if they wish to do service in their area. We can only advice them. We also wish to let you and your family know that - God has come. You can take the 7 days free course either online or at a centre, where you will be explained the entire knowledge of murli. Who am i ? The question which is most important, to the search of God and our eternal relationship with him. Second - about World Drama of 5000 years and how it is played and when does God has to come into this corporeal world... many points. However you think, but surely you would wish to know - How an organisation (BKWSU) is functioning in around 140 countries and it has 9000 centres.! This happened in just 43 years without any internal conflict. RajYog is the way of self realisation and a direct connection with God, our father (of all souls). Shiv baba's direct words spoken through mouth medium of Brahma (prajapita - first human being) is called Murli. Kavit, you are understanding and have been given a good mind to think and decide. ask yourself - is this present world with 7 Billion human beings and intolerance among each other. How long will such world go? What will happen? Who decides? Do follow or save the given links to find the answers. Read only when you are free.

Who is Shiv baba and who is Shri krishna? What is their relationship? Is Shiv the highest form of God? Such questions may arise in minds of new comers and yes if did receive these questions from L P Saho in Oct 2018. Hence we post the answers and questions here so that you all can be benefitted. Original Email & Questions Om Shanti, Have recently joined this spiritual school of great thought and enjoying the journey as I progress though now not even a month. Have few curiosity about Shiva Baba and Sri Krishna. Till date as per available Hindu scripture we have read both have high respect for each other and in some of the spiritual books it is very clearly mentioned that to get the blessing of Shiva one has to have respect for lord Ram/ Krishna. Please clarify.. In Bhagwat Gita Shri Krishna is considered as the highest form of God and all other god/ Devi/Devta is just his one form or other(Virat Rupa). Whereas BK theory is Shiva Baba is the highest form of God.?? In one preaching have heard Sri Krishna is always in Bal Rupa. Please clarify?? Regarding positive attitudes of life it is awesome and is already supported by several motivational books/ lectures etc etc.. Regards, L P Sahu Our Email Response with Answers From: Prajapita Brahma Kumari Ishwariy Vishwa Vidhyalay (Godly University) To: L P Sahu + Everyone reading this Your question is read. Here is our point wise response. 1. Shiv baba is the supreme soul (ParamAtma) and all others will be called as 'Soul' (atma). Soul can become a deity and the same soul becomes sudra or king, queen and brahman. Souls are actors. Sri Krishna is a child of Satyug (beginning of new world) who was a prince. In Satyug, all human beings are called - 'Deities' (devi-devta) 2. To get blessing from Shiv baba, one also needs to respect his medium (prajapita brahma). Here you remember that Brahma's soul will then become Krishna (first birth in Satyug). Because Shiv baba gives the inheritance through 'medium' of Prajapita Brahma (future Krishna) 3. Shiv is NOT A FORM of God, but God. Shiv is the incorporeal (supreme soul), the supreme father of all Souls and the creator and maintainer of world . See trimurti image attached in this email. There are NO physical forms of God. Krishna and Ram are deities. They are not God, but they lived in Satyug and Treta yug. Reference: World Drama Cycle 4. Shri Krishna is always shown in Bal Rup (small child) because Krishna is the name of the first child who was born in Satyug (golden age). Then when he becomes old and gets married to Radha, their both names changes to Shri Lakshmi and Shri Narayan. They will sit on the throne of the master of the world (Satyug) Source: Shri Krishna Birth in 2036 Hope everything is now clear. Gyan is simple and easy to understand. Yog is a challenge and needs practice. KarmaYog In Godfatherly World Service 00

Om Shanti - When a person enters into a 'Gyaan' and follows Srimat for a consecutive no. of years and want to be a celibate for the rest of his/her life but his/her family pressurize to mary with someone then what about celibacy.. ? I think it is a very serious discussion. It is a case of mine. My family persuade me to marry but I don't..they said that life partner is very necessary in life..but for me nothing is more important than celibacy..I think there should be a forum where Kumar and kumari seek their life partners. To oppose parents decision is not easy. I want to marry with someone who is following brahma Kumaris. Share your thoughts..

'Does the source of the money I earn affect the health of me and my family members?' - A brother asks us through our contact form. This is a general question. However, in this case, we concluded that the source of money he is earning (market share investing) is pure. There was nothing that was morally wrong. Thus we give the understanding of Law of Karma and some guidance to solve the present condition. A snippet of Original Message received on 10-02-2020 I am in Share market business where I earn money by doing Trading... someone's loss is your profit. 50% of my earning or profit from share market goes to my trust. My trust works for the distribution of free medicines to poor patients in hospitals... one of my children has started getting seizure problem (epilepsy). She got 3rd episode in this month. I am now feeling guilty and unable to continue my work. --- "We at Prajapati Brahma kumaris daily do collective Yog/meditation for the world souls & send to them vibrations of peace, purity, love and power. Let good happen to all" Our Email Response + Guidance Dear Divine Brother We will also provide the exact answer to your innocent question. But also know that you yourself if think with a clear mind, will understand some secrets of Karma. FOR YOU Firstly, it is a very good task you are doing - by arranging for free medicine for poor people. This earns you many blessings... Become aware that it is God who inspires us and makes us to do good karma. You would know that mostly in our Bharat (India) people start their business in the name of God or Goddess, whichever they believe in. This is to show that he is the support of our life. YOU ALSO DO THE SAME. Continue this good work, but now in the name of ''Shiv Baba''. You may give your name, but consider that it is Shiv baba's task and you are only an instrument/medium. So you do business. It is not cheating anyone or willingly making a loss to someone. No. You are only investing your money and earning a profit. Everyone involved in 'share market' knows that they will either get a good profit or a good loss. So they take this risk. If they go in loss, it is nothing to do with your karma... We hope this is clear at first. Yes as long as you keep good relation with others and not do any cheating, this business is purely a business. For Your Child Daughter is having an illness which you think might be because of your business. No - this is not. Every soul gets the result of its own actions (karma). Your karma cannot affect anyone else. That soul (your child) also have her own past life karmic account which can cause illness. Karmic accounts has to settle in one or other way. Plus the present atmosphere lacking clean air and water also affects the body. On other hand, the food which is prepared at your home is earned by your business. That food is eaten by the family. Food must be earned with clean karma. That is - money with which you buy the food, should be earned by righteous path and to earn that money you must not damage anyone. This is the rule. One should not become greedy and not take risks in order to get more money... This simplifies our life... If your wealth is clean, the vibrations in food are pure and so good will be the health of family members. TAKE CARE OF THIS.
