Christmas lights

You have read before on the Grannyblog about the Brahma Kumaris.  Yesterday evening was spent at their magnificent building in London, Global House where they had a programme of World Meditation.  I want to write about them again because they are so remarkable and if you ever get a chance to meet a BK, or go to a BK place or a BK event, you will immediately understand why I am saying this.  I am going to call them the Christmas lights because being with them is just lovely.  You immediately feel amongst friends and without anything in the way, they greet you as if you were the one person they wanted to see.  The genuineness of their greeting isn't packaged, it isn't forced, it is how they are and I can tell you, that if you were feeling low, a B K would cheer you up right through.  Their own meditation and spiritual practices are profound and committed but you don't meet a face which indicates superiority or one which wears it's spiritual effort as a cover.  There they are, beaming, dressed in white, smiling, laughing and out of their white pockets come mobile phones and they are brilliant at all the techie stuff and they give you sweeties, little delicious sweets which taste of cardamom and which they have made in their spotless modern kitchens as an act of devotion.

If you come to St Martin-in-the-Fields this Wednesday morning for Just this Day which as you know, I recommend as THE meditation event not to miss, you can look around and see my Brahma Kumaris friends, they will be dressed in white and if you catch their eye, they will smile and you will feel better.  Two things to add, first their Christmas play for all the family which is FREE, is at Global House from the 6th to the 11th December, www.wondariya.org.  Go, if you can with your children, because you and they will meet people who are a wonder in themselves and you will see why I call them the Christmas lights.
