Rajyogini BK Shukla, Director of Security Wing of Brahma kumaris explained the deeper meaning of the word “Stress” in the conference on “Stress free life”. She said that when we forget that we are souls and come in Body consciousness, then evils and vices enter in us and we suffer under stress.

BK Teacher Preeti, Greater Noida, P-III, has affirmed that the main reason for mental stress is weakness of the mind.

This Expo is aimed at purifying the mind through the Rajyoga Mediation taught by Supreme Soul, and to connect ourselves with Supreme Soul and to receive Powers from Him.
We become healthy when we adopt the food philosophy of tricolour : B.K. Asha
She recommended that we adopt the philosophy of our tri colour National Flag in our food habits and asserted that we shall prefer white, green and saffron foods. A Wheel inside the Flag is particularly important, that means while consuming food, we shall be free from worry-some thoughts and we should remain in the remembrance of God, then only food will purify our mind & body. When we follow tricolour foods, our Nation also will become clean.

We are children of one Supreme Soul and hence Brothers. Through this Brotherhood, all problems will be solved : B.K. Brijmohan
He also highlighted that whatever comes, goes. Let it be lives or problems. That is why there is no need to fear. As deeper the night becomes, that quickly the day (sunlight) arrives. In the same manner, the more darker night, i.e. kaliyug (iron age) night of ignorance, sins and corruption increase, which we are witnessing in present times, that much early satyug i.e. day (golden age) arrives. This Expo is organised to enable people to know the self, God and present time, to connect themselves with Supreme Soul, so that they can imbibe divine virtues and elevated character in their lives and can come in golden age.
International Speaker Dr Mohit Gupta has pronounced, in the seminar “Calmness in Chaos”, organised for working professionals, that the problems won’t come with prior intimation and hence we should always maintain our minds powerful. For that, we need to practice Rajyoga for 15 – 15 minutes and consider ourselves Souls, Master of Mind & Intellect and establish relations with Supreme Soul Shiva, then not only our minds will become powerful, but also we become capable to keep ourselves calm in all circumstances.
He told further that we preserve the (unwanted) actions, things & behaviour of others, which contradict to ours, in our mind-shelves as wastes. Eventually, these wastes, instead of valuable things, stored in our shelves spread the bad smell (four odour) and emerge in the form of wrong words, actions and behaviour. Therefore, we should preserve valuable things only in our minds, so that fragrant thoughts will become elevated actions. In chaos, only those things come to our rescue, which we have in our stores.
On 21st February renowned inspirational Speaker BK Shivani addressed the gathering. She highlighted that our thoughts are central to everything we do, we feel, we get. Thoughts are seeds, we should pay attention to what we think. We should always have positive thoughts and that will create pure vibrations and positively influence our relations. In many circumstances, we blame others for example sound coming as disturbance. We should ask ourselves, who is disturbing i.e. other person or we ourselves. So, we should not hand over remote control of our state of mind to others, rather we should keep ourselves and handle it well in positive and inspirational manner and then our lives will be ever happy.
