‘Inner Foes need to be eliminated for Stability of Mind’

-Sqn Ldr Ashok Gaba (Retd)

Mysuru-Jan 11: ‘In recent times people serving in security forces are undergoing more stressful situations than before and incidents of suicide have increased. Complications in human rapport may also be one of the reasons. Many negative emotional traits such as anger, jealousy, depression and others lead to mental fatigue and energy depletion. If one could prevent emergence of such situations in the mind, stability and concentration of the intellect is possible’ opined Sqn Ldr Ashok Gaba (Retd), Chairperson of Security Services Wing of Rajyoga Education and Research Foundation, Mount Abu.

‘If the people of our country are enjoying a good sleep every night, our security forces have to be commended for their unstinted commitment in guarding against both internal and external enemies. But they are at the same time suffering from mental tension, for which the basic remedy lies in correct and minimal thinking. The negative thoughts in the mind have to be rooted out and positive outlook has to be practiced under all given situations’, he observed.

K.S.Kabbur, Divisional Security Commissioner of Railway Protection Force of South Western Railway, Mysore Division participated as the chief guest and said that such seminars can enhance the efficiency of the officers and staff. Although many trainings are being arranged by the department, inner strength can only be developed by attending such programs.

Manjeet Kumar, Deputy Commandant of CISF, RBI, Mysore commended the organizers for arranging such training for security forces who are normally an ignored lot in our society. Mental stability is the prime factor in carrying out the duties effectively and such soft skills can be developed during such trainings.

Delegates from City Police, City Armed Reserve, Karnataka State Reserve Police, Railway Protection Force and CISF attended the seminar.

Launching the Ceremony “Year of Positive Change-2023-24” at Gyan Prakash Bhavan, Yadavagiri, Mysuru.

Peaceful Life has Vanished In this Competitive World -BK Ashaji

‘Finding it difficult to cope with this competitive world, many people have lost peace, comfort and happiness. We have reached a stage wherein we have to purchase happiness and peace’, observed BK Ashaji, Director of Om Shanti Retreat Centre, Delhi.

Ashaji was delivering a keynote speech on the eve of the launching of ‘Year of Positive Change-2023-24’, a unique project for self-development.

“We are finding an attitude of haste and hurry everywhere. The world is running behind competitions and people are made to run to catch that speed. Without being able to manage this style of living, many are suffering from diseases and losing the significance of happiness and comfort.

People have reached a stage wherein they have started purchasing comfortable things with the hope that they will be more happy and peaceful by acquiring physical comforts. But one has to learn to come out of stressful living to maintain a peaceful life and we have to strive for success in our professions. In this regard Brahma Kumaris have launched many programs to bring awareness to the people through Rajyoga, of which today is one of them. But people have to make use of such opportunities’, suggested Ashaji.

Member of Legislative Assembly from Mandya Constituency, P.Ravikumar said that since ancient times India has been advocating Yoga and Meditation to get peace of mind. Along with Mutts, Brahma Kumaris have shown the path of spirituality to people to obtain peace of mind and happiness. They need to be appreciated for the different awareness programs that they are arranging in this regard.

Dr.Shipa Avarebil, Physician of JSS Hospital, explaining her individual experiences, said that being in the field of Medical services, along with attending to patients she also practices meditation every day and treats patients in that mindset. She has learnt how to have balance between personal life, professional life and spiritual life. Therefore she urged everyone to take advantage of such campaigns.

Joint Director of Land Records C.S.Ramesh, implied that if we fall down in life, we have to still show progress and get up so that everyone observes me. In spiritual camps such as this, they suggest us to be Positive. But three years back people would be afraid to hear the word POSITIVE. Now that our country has come out of this disease, we have to learn to think positively so that we can live peacefully and happily.

Suttur Sri Shivaratri Desikendra Swamiji blessed with his divine presence. BK Sharadaji conducted Rajyoga meditation and BK Lakshmiji, Chief Coordinator of Brahma Kumaris, Mysuru Sub Zone, presided over the program.
