did not Bush snub the BKs invite to Madhuban?
A new BKWS Organization talking-shop, I mean service campaign, to "reveal the integrity and rich tapestry of human greatness in the American character" has started.
- Human Greatness: Stories & Conversations on Human Greatness in America.
Incidentally, unlike other elite BKs like Brian Bacon, being a "senior faculty member" is not enough for this sister, Mohini is now the "President" of the BKWSO. Is that world or just Zone America? A bit early if Dadi Janki has not died yet ... and I am not so sure that "America's part in world history reflects the ongoing human struggle of good over evil, order over chaos". Do these people actually believe these things?BKWSU wrote:In the United States, in this first decade of the 21st century, there is a compelling need for greater leadership at all levels. This is not just a call for greater leadership in business and politics, but a call for human greatness itself.
Are the qualities that underlie greatness intrinsic to everyone or are they a gift of the rare few? If, in fact, everyone has the potential to be great, how do we emerge such greatness and what would that look like in society today?
It can be said that greatness is not a single act, but a way of being that nourishes the self, others, and the community. It is intrinsic to every human being, arising from the unique expression of innate qualities such as love, peace, and wisdom. These qualities are the seeds to human greatness, and the true expression of these qualities is human greatness itself. When we awaken and express the simple essence of our being, we are able to create an extraordinary life, a life of greatness that leaves a positive mark on the lives of others, society, and the world.
What about the bit about the "science proud Yadavas" and the Nuclear Holocaust? Oh, it has been written out again ... OK. I get it ... making up stories and then talking your way out of it, aka "conversation"! I'd rather say New America was the cause ongoing human struggle and chaos.

I came to the United States of America in 1978. The gifts I brought to this country were the deep spiritual insights that I had accumulated since the age of 16. The gift I received in return was an environment in which these insights were greatly enriched. This has contributed to my own growth in an extraordinary manner.
America's part in world history reflects the ongoing human struggle of good over evil, order over chaos. Although America's role in world history is very recent, the story of the world is now very old. This ancient story has grown so complex that it has become difficult to discern truth from fiction. It is a story that to some is now wholly out of control and whose basic values have come into question. It is a story that perhaps has had its day.
I believe that the people of America have a powerful, positive role to play in creating a new story of humankind. This belief is based on a culture of authenticity, building a community where everyone has permission to be himself or herself, and no one has to melt down into one common mold. It is based on a culture of promptness to act - leading to newness and innovation. It is also based on a culture of natural dedication and unity, which is easily stirred by a significant cause or a higher purpose.
The Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual Organization supports the development of the American story: a story that reflects the empowerment of every individual to manifest his or her purest being through the fundamental principles of peace, love, happiness and contentment for all.
The project Celebrating Human Greatness is a contribution the Brahma Kumaris are making to this story following our 30 years of service in the US. We embrace the people of America and the commitment we each have to realizing and sharing our inner greatness and beauty.
I invite you to join one of the conversations we will be hosting this year, and to experience the deep roots of greatness that are within all of us.
With my warmest regards,
BK Mohini Panjabi
President, Brahma Kumaris, USA
