Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah inaugurated a national dialogue titled ‘Self-Empowerment through Inner Awakening’ for security forces in Rajasthan today. The event, held under the auspices of the Brahma Kumaris, also witnessed the presence of Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma and other dignitaries.
In his keynote address, Amit Shah highlighted the spiritual contributions of the Brahma Kumaris, praising their efforts to spread peace and self-awareness globally through yoga and meditation. “Brahma Kumaris have been lighting the lamp of peace and spiritual practice in every individual,” he said, adding that the organization’s atmosphere radiates tranquility due to its deep-rooted spiritual energy.
He emphasized the transformative role of spiritual guidance in personal and social life, crediting the founder, Lekhraj Kripalani Ji, with initiating a global movement that aims to turn every soul into a beacon of light. According to Shri Shah, this spiritual mission continues to inspire millions and serves as a foundation for a more conscious and peaceful society.
The Home Minister also announced the launch of Brahma Kumaris’ theme for 2025-26, “Meditation for World Unity and World Faith”. He acknowledged the simultaneous inauguration of the national dialogue on mental and emotional resilience among security personnel.
Speaking on national progress, Shah noted that after 75 years of independence, India has emerged as the world’s fifth-largest economy and is poised to become the third-largest in the coming years. He reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for India to lead globally by 2047, the centenary of its independence, by embracing traditional values that foster world brotherhood and inner strength.
Shri Shah praised the Brahma Kumaris for their 25-year-long efforts in promoting inner peace among security forces, whose duty often entails immense stress and sacrifice. “Our personnel—be it in the Army, CAPFs, or state police—work tirelessly to safeguard the nation. Helping them find peace in mind, body, and soul is a crucial mission,” he noted.
Highlighting India’s spiritual legacy, he spoke about concepts like Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and the global impact of International Yoga Day, both rooted in Indian tradition. He credited Brahma Kumaris for integrating women’s leadership, simplicity, celibacy, vegetarianism, and meditation into a global message of peace and transformation.
Through their spiritual work, the Brahma Kumaris continue to serve as ambassadors of Indian culture and catalysts of personal and collective transformation.
