Jun 19, 2023

June 19, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - The Brahma Kumaris, the largest spiritual organization in the world led by women, has announced its upcoming event in Sydney where attendees will get a chance to learn about the vast healing power of meditation.

At the session, Sister Jayanti, Additional Administrative Head of The Brahma Kumaris, will explore methods to stay personally empowered to face and overcome challenges using the power of meditation. The spiritual teacher and leader, who is also a sought-after international public speaker and author, will share her insights on navigating the world of one’s inner resources where, just by getting to know oneself at a deeper level, one can increase their inner strength, improve their self-confidence, and tap into their natural happiness to live a more meaningful, resilient, and empowered life.

The event is scheduled for Wednesday, 21st June 2023 from 6 PM to 7:30 PM at the Wesley Conference Centre, located at 220 Pitt Street, Sydney, 2000. It is completely free to join, and everyone is welcome to reserve their spot by visiting https://tinyurl.com/BuildInnerResilience. Interested readers are also urged to follow The Brahma Kumaris on EventBrite for notifications of future events from the organization.

Sister Jayanti imparts her teachings using a unique blend of Eastern wisdom and Western education and culture. After emigrating to London from India as an 8-year-old, her worldview and perspectives were enhanced by an intimate knowledge and understanding of how individuals from the two disparate parts of the world approach life and all its challenges. Her prominent speaking themes include leadership, environment & climate change, women’s empowerment, health & well-being, racial harmony, interreligious friendships, and global peace.

Today, Sister Jayanti is an advisor to the Council for the Parliament of the World’s Religions. She is also a member of the Executive Committee of the World Congress of Faiths, a member of the Advisory Body of the International Interfaith Centre, and she also headed the Brahma Kumaris delegation to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP) from 2009 to 2020. Over the years, she has helped establish BK Centers all over the world, such as in London, Hong Kong, the Caribbean, Japan, South Africa, and several European countries, bringing her lessons to those who need them the most.

Founded in 1937 by Dada Lekhraj Kripalani, lovingly also known as Brahma Baba, the Brahma Kumaris is an international non-governmental organization (NGO) of the United Nations, accredited with General Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). It has a presence in 110 countries around the world, runs over 4,500 meditation centers, has an impact on the lives of over a million students, and has guided them through over 100 million minutes of meditation.

In Australia, the Brahma Kumaris have four retreat centers - Blue Mountains and Illawarra in NSW and Peninsula and Yarra Valley in VIC. The organization also oversees two meditation centers in Sydney, four in Melbourne, and several others across Australia in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, and Perth.

In a video published on Brahman Kumaris’ YouTube channel, Sister Jayanti summarizes her mission to bring peace and contentment to those she guides. She says, “It has rightly been stated in the preamble of the charter of UNESCO that wars begin in the minds of men and the defenses of peace lie therein also. We deeply believe that if we can create an awareness of peace within the self, then it is this peace that is going to exude out and impact everything that we’re involved with, everything that we’re engaged with. Everything that I can offer to the world around me, first and foremost, to myself, my family, and my colleagues reaches out into the community and therefore into the world.”

Raising connected kids

Raising connected kids

For many parents today, handing a child a first mobile phone feels like a milestone wrapped in mixed emotions. On one hand, it offers reassurance. A quick message after school, a call during an emergency or an easier way to coordinate family schedules can provide peace of mind. On the other, it opens the door to a digital world children are navigating at increasingly younger ages. As online learning, messaging, streaming and gaming become part of everyday childhood, parents face an important question: How can they give their children the independence they need while still providing proper guidance? The answer may lie not in limiting technology altogether, but in introducing it thoughtfully and building healthy digital habits together. Children need to understand that having a mobile phone comes with responsibilities, from managing their data and screen time to choosing appropriate content and communicating safely online. Parents, meanwhile, need practical ways to remain involved without constantly hovering over their children’s digital activities. One option available to families is Globe’s GPlan Junior, a postpaid line designed for dependents ages 7 to 20. Offered as an additional line under an eligible Globe Postpaid plan, it allows parents or legal guardians to manage their child’s connectivity while giving young users room to communicate, learn and access age-appropriate digital experiences. The plan includes unlimited calls and texts, 100 minutes of landline calls and 10GB of all-access data with rollover and data-swap features. It also provides access to Messenger Kids and Mobile Legends, as well as selected video, social and gaming apps. Families can choose one app from each category, with options including YouTube Kids, Netflix, Disney+, Viu, Viber, WhatsApp, Roblox, Discord, PUBG and Call of Duty. Through the GlobeOne app, parents can monitor data usage, check remaining allocations, manage Data Swap options and choose their child’s unlimited apps. A parent-managed postpaid account also removes the need to regularly reload credits or keep track of expiring promotions. More importantly, such tools can become starting points for conversations about responsible technology use instead of serving merely as restrictions. “As children become more connected, parents are looking for solutions that keep up with their family’s evolving needs,” said Jo Anne Illescas-Pique, senior director for Globe Postpaid. Digital responsibility can also extend to money management. Eligible GPlan Junior subscribers who successfully register for GCash Jr. may receive GCash vouchers, providing parents with another opportunity to teach their children how to save, spend and manage digital money within a supervised environment.

PH earns first Two Michelin Keys as nine hotels make 2026 list

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines has earned its first-ever Two Michelin Key hotel distinctions, with nine properties recognized in the 2026 Michelin Guide hotel selection. El Nido Resorts Lagen Island in Palawan and Raffles Makati received Two Michelin Keys, marking them as the first Philippine properties to reach the distinction, which the Michelin Guide describes as an “exceptional stay.” Raffles Makati was promoted from One Key, while El Nido Resorts Lagen Island entered the selection with Two Keys. The recognition brings the country's total to nine Michelin Key hotels for 2026, up from five properties in the previous selection. El Nido Resorts Lagen Island was recognized for its location within a forested cove surrounded by limestone cliffs, as well as its use of Filipino materials and craftsmanship, and its environmental practices. Raffles Makati was cited for its all-suite accommodations, private butler service and intimate residential atmosphere. Four properties also received their first One Michelin Key: Nustar Hotel Cebu in Cebu City, El Nido Resorts Pangulasian Island in Palawan, Hotel Okura Manila at Newport World Resorts in Pasay City, and Manami Resort in Sipalay City, Negros Occidental. Three hotels retained their One Michelin Key distinctions from the previous selection: Nay Palad Hideaway in Siargao, Fairmont Makati, and Amanpulo in Palawan. Tourism Secretary Dita Angara-Mathay welcomed the recognition in a statement saying, “This recognition reflects the continued growth of Philippine hospitality and the dedication of our tourism stakeholders in creating exceptional experiences for travelers from around the world.” She also said the recognition could help strengthen the country's positioning as a destination offering different types of high-end accommodations, from island resorts to hotels in urban centers. “Beyond the recognition itself, we see this as an opportunity to further position the Philippines as a destination where travelers can find exceptional stays, from our island resorts to our urban hotels, all anchored on the warmth of Filipino hospitality,” she added. The Michelin Key is the hotel counterpart of the Michelin Star for restaurants. Hotels are assessed by Michelin Guide inspectors using five criteria: architecture and interior design; quality and consistency of service; overall personality and character; value for the price; and the property's contribution to its neighborhood or setting. A One Michelin Key represents a “very special stay,” while Two Michelin Keys indicate an “exceptional stay.” Three Michelin Keys, the highest distinction, represent an “extraordinary stay.” The 2026 global selection includes 2,832 Michelin Key hotels across 79 countries, with 657 receiving Two Keys and 2,020 receiving One Key. For the Philippines, Angara-Mathay said the growing number of recognized properties also contributes to strengthening the country's tourism brand. “Every recognition earned by our tourism stakeholders contributes to a stronger Philippine tourism brand. As we continue to welcome more travelers, we will likewise continue working with our partners in the industry to further elevate the quality of Philippine hospitality,” the Tourism chief added.
