‘Spirituality is to be happy and spread happiness’
— Br. Minalben

An Introduction To Minalben

When you see Minalben you cannot help but smile. Her happiness is infectious, her overflowing joy is unmistakable, and her continuous connection with herself, her immersion in the soul is immensely inspiring.

Minalben is a senior teacher at Shree Raj Saubhag Ashram. Through the guidance of Param Pujya Bapuji, Gurumaa and Bhaishree she has risen to great heights of spirituality, studying and experiencing the path of enlightenment.

With her unique insights, practical examples and spiritual tools, her visit to London will provide us all with valuable understandings propelling us forward in our journeys.

Shibir

Distinguishing Truths

How do we recognise our suitcase when we go to pick it up from the carousel at the airport after a flight? It may have distinguishing features, a label or strap or tag. We recognise its colour and shape and brand.

If we want to recognise our soul, then we must understand its distinguishing features or characteristics that are unique to it and not present in any other object.

Br. Minalben understands these charactistics, immerses in them and is well qualified to help us understand their nature. Using Param Krupaludev Shrimad Rajchandraji's writings she will share these characteristics and the insights she has to help us see them too.

The 3 day shibir will consist of meditations for those instructed in this practice, swadhyays or lectures, opportunities for silence, reflection and devotional bhakti.

Children’s Event

Minalben has a playful and energetic nature and unusually for an adult she remembers what it's like to be a child. She has the patience to understand a child, whatever their age, and listen to their point of view.

Minalben has an awareness that young people's lives, however easy they seem to their parents, are filled with the pressures of exams, good grades, applications and interviews, a schedule of extra curricular activities, peer pressure and the continuous need to meet other people's expectations.

By introducing simple spiritual concepts, she can teach you how to deal with this. Her thoughts and ideas are creative, fun and easy to practice.

She is a great example of how to live spiritually and practice it everyday rather than simply talk about it.

Minalben brings spirituality to the social media generation.
