Mount Abu,Rajsthan:<\/mark><\/strong> Madhuban\u2014The spiritual heart of the Brahma Kumaris\u2014hosted the international retreat “Peace of Mind \u2013 The Mount Abu Meditation Experience.” This year, it brought together about 240 participants from 45 countries, including 21 guests from Russia and Russia-related countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A special joy for everyone was the opportunity to meet with the leaders of the Brahma Kumaris organization and senior teachers. Their wisdom and personal example helped the participants experience the depth of Raja Yoga meditation and the value of spiritual relationships in a whole new way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the very first days, Madhuban became a true home for the guests: they happily joined Amritvela and evening yoga, visited Baba\u2019s rooms, wrote letters to Him, and shared their most profound thoughts and feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every single moment was filled with meaning: gifts from Baba brought joy, love, and a sense of gratitude, while personal insights turned into an unforgettable spiritual experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Peace of Mind” is not just a retreat, but an opportunity to slow down, listen to yourself, feel closeness to Baba, and become part of a large spiritual family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returning home, the participants carry a piece of Madhuban with them\u2014its silence, warmth, and inspiration, which will serve as a pillar of support on their journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ii) Chita, Russia <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public program at the Ingoda Senior Citizens’ Center, Chita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Ingoda:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingoda (river) – Wikipedia https:\/\/share.google\/yKndygP3UqQBV9AlU<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name “Ingoda” comes from the Ingoda River, the major river that runs through the city of Chita in the Trans Baikal Territory (Zabaykalsky Krai) Region of Siberia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It hosts cultural events, educational programs, and festive gatherings\u2014such as celebrations for the Day of the Elderly\u2014often collaborating with local students and voluntary groups to provide social support, workshops, and recreational activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*********<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new chapter of Brahma Kumaris in Chita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Centre launched a series of programs called “A Life Without Pain…”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*********<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An outcome from the first program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A life without pain…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does that mean? That was the question that began our first program of the same name. “It means being healthy!” all the participants answered in unison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health is everything. It’s true what they say: it’s better to be a healthy beggar than a sick king. There’s probably not a single person who has never experienced physical pain. Everyone reacts to pain differently. Some react acutely and emotionally, others mildly. And pain comes in different forms: acute, chronic, aching, penetrating, stabbing, drilling, burning… It’s also interesting that physical pain occurs when a person experiences a strong feeling of envy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But pain is also one of the main defense mechanisms, that is, to some extent, it is our friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, is pain a friend or a foe? What should you do when pain occurs? Get a massage or call an ambulance immediately? A rheumatologist discussed all this. In her presentation, she focused on chronic pain, which interferes with a full life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A life without pain doesn’t mean it will never happen. It means pain ceases to be our master. It may come and go, but it doesn’t command us. Pain isn’t just a sensation. It’s also an emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, when we say “pain,” we’re almost always talking about more than just the body. We’re also talking about fear, fatigue, irritation, and insomnia. Pain always affects the whole person. Chronic pain impacts physical functioning: grip strength, walking speed, and muscle strength decrease. Patients with pain are more likely to have anxiety and depressive disorders. Various studies have shown that this also impacts life expectancy. For example, a decrease in walking speed is associated with a decrease in pain. Chronic pain increases all-cause mortality by 2.4 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there are various medications that help relieve different types of chronic pain, and non-drug methods are also used, such as orthopedic insoles, exercise therapy, physiotherapy, acupuncture, balneotherapy, and others. However, special attention in addressing chronic pain is given to the patient’s personal involvement: physical and social activity, adherence to therapy, and a positive attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you should see a doctor, but the most important thing is to want to live pain-free. Various methods for chronic pain relief have been suggested, from simple therapeutic exercises to acupressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another way to cope with chronic pain by tuning into a positive wave was also given: meditation with directing healing light to the affected organ or body part. And it worked! The pain lost its intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the meditation, everyone felt refreshed and their spirits lifted. The cards with good wishes filled them with enthusiasm and inspiration to engage in their own healing process by focusing on themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it would seem that there is nothing new, everything is simple and ordinary, but sometimes a person just needs to be reminded, inspired, and we think that we have succeeded!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 “An outcome from the first program\u2014a life without pain\u2014is finally within reach.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
