The International Organization of Brahma Kumaris celebrated World Diabetes Day with great pomp yesterday at Sukh Shanti Bhawan Phase 7 in which 350 dignitaries from Kurali, Kharar and Mohali area participated. The program was presided over by Rajyogini Brahma Kumari Premlata Behan Ji, Incharge Rajyoga Centers of Mohali-Ropar Circle, while the famous Diabetologist of Fortis, Mohali, Dr Sachin Mittal and Motivational speaker Rajyogi Brahma Kumar Piyush Bhai from Delhi participated as the keynote speakers.
On this occasion, Dr Sachin Mittal said that at present people are not properly aware about diabetes and hence they are unaware of the damage caused by this disease. This is the reason why they are not ready to get the tests done which should be done from time to time. Dr Sachin said that about 20 years ago only 3 crore people in India were suffering from this disease but now every 5th person in India is diabetic due to this disease.
50 percent people do not even know about diabetes because its symptoms are also not visible. Therefore, it must be tested once every 3-3 months. For sugar test, he said that it is necessary to get sugar test done on empty stomach, after eating and after three months. Dr Sachin said that in HbA1C test, less than 5 percent is not considered diabetic while 5.5 to 7 is considered pre-diabetic and more than 7 percent is considered diabetic.
He said that diabetes has a very bad effect on the eyes, heart and kidneys. The main symptoms of diabetes are frequent thirst, frequent urination, tiredness and skin infection etc. He stressed on keeping it under control from the very beginning. Brahma kumari Premlata Incharge Rajyoga Centers of Mohali-Ropar Circle said in her blessings that in the present times, due to many types of problems, diseases and ups and downs, human life gets distracted from the state of inner happiness, peace and joy, due to which his negative thinking is affecting their relations in the family.
Even while living in the family, if we treat ourselves as children of God and reduce our desires, aspirations and wishes, then the relations can improve. She advised to adopt the strategy of speaking less, sweetly and slowly. Always adopt positive thinking, she said . On this occasion, Brahma Kumar Pius Bhai, the Motivational speaker and Zonal Coordinator of Scientists and Engineering Wing, Delhi Zone, while speaking about harmony in relationships, said that harmony in relationships can be maintained by behaving with each other with love, tolerance, patience, cooperation, good feeling and good wishes.
To keep relationships right, let go of your ego and develop the habit of respecting others. He said that excessive use of internet is harmful and said that use of innernet should be increased. We should leave the past behind and develop the habit of living in the present, like a small child smiles 400 times a day, but when he grows up, he gets surrounded by tensions and worries and forgets to smile and spoils his relationships as well.
Rajyogi Pius Bhai said that by adopting spirituality, our relationships become sweeter and even former enemies can become friends and allies, therefore we must learn the techniques of Rajyoga taught by Brahma Kumaris. Kumari Navya and Kumari Riyasi also presented dance and Binky Praveen Bhai presented divine songs.
