Journey with BKGSU

(BKGSU-Brahma Kumaris Godly Spiritual University)

Before coming in connection with the Brahma Kumaris, Shivani struggled with anger issues and had disputes with her mother. But seeing the positive difference in the behavior and personality of her mother, after the finish of her college, Shivani decided to take the 7 days course at a regional BK centre and then started visiting there once or twice a week. Sister Shivani then learned the practice of RajYoga meditation, during which she felt a deep peace, love, and a spiritual connection with God. Gradually she realised that indeed God directly is teaching here. She would read the Murli every day without fail. Shivani used her prior knowledge of Science to understand the deeper secrets of the spiritual knowledge given by God through the Gyan Murlis. Attaining this, she also joined the mission to bring the new world (golden age). Read 'News' on this page to learn about her current services.
