Brahma Kumaris spread spiritual knowledge in Kalahandi

The Pioneer, Oct 29, 2007

Prajapita Brahma Kumari Iswariya Vishwa Vidyalaya organised its Bhartiya Gram Vikash Abhiyan Motorcycle Yatra, 2007 here on Friday to spread spiritual knowledge among the people.

A total of 108 groups have already kicked off such cavalcades across India, which will cover around 1 lakh GPs.

The south zone of Orissa is traversed by a group of 28 people headed by sister BK Nilam which started the yatra in five motorcycles from Nabarangpur on October 7.

The procession has already covered the districts of Koraput, Malkangiri and Kalahandi covering 450 villages, which will conclude at Nabarangpur on November 4.

In a welcome ceremony held at Divya Shakti Bhawan here, sister Nilam said that though Government is trying to develop the villages by implementing plan every five year, it is not sufficient.

Our organisation aims at bringing a spiritual renaissance among the people which will usher in development in the long run.

"We are teaching people to cast off bad habits such as taking alcohol, cigarette and opium. This will go a long way in scaling down their sorrows and sufferings and also discourage them from quarrel in the family.

We also distribute homoeopathy medicines which will curb the inclination for drinking and smoking among the villagers," she added.

Kalahandi MP Bikram Kesari Deo, block chairman of Bhawanipatna Santanu Behera spoke on the occasion.
