**MEDIA RELEASE**
Spiritual Head of Worldwide Spiritual University Celebrates her 100th Birthday
INVITATION to meet Dadi Janki at a Press Reception at the Montcalm Hotel, London W1 Tuesday 12th January, 2016
11.00am (for 11.30am start until 12.30 pm)
Dadi Janki, who is still working full time as the Spiritual Head of the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University, celebrates her 100th birthday this month. Born in India in 1916 at a time when the birth of a girl was of such little consequence that the actual date wasn’t recorded, Dadi Janki has since more than made up for her un-celebrated beginnings.
From a very early age, she knew she wanted a spiritual life devoted to God and the care of others; as a young girl she attended Mahatma Gandhi’s prayer meetings. She served those who were much less advantaged than herself, encouraging them to adopt a vegetarian diet and also visiting people in prison. She also encouraged them in their love and devotion for God. At the age of 21, she escaped from an unwanted arranged marriage, turned her back on her wealthy background and joined the fledgling organisation which was to become the Brahma Kumaris (BKs) – the first spiritual organisation in India led by women.
In 1974, approaching 60 years of age, she was given the task of bringing the message of the BKs from India to the world – a message of how spiritual power can bring about inner resilience and transform societies. She set off (her first time outside India) with all her worldly possessions fitted into an Air India flight bag and arrived in London with no education, very little money, and as if that wasn’t enough – no knowledge of English. 42 years later, Dadi can still fit all her worldly possessions in an Air India flight bag and still speaks very little English, but with unshakeable faith and unbreakable love for God, she has spectacularly accomplished her task.
Due to Dadi’s vision, faith in God, strength and courage the Brahma Kumaris has grown to become a hugely respected organisation throughout the world. It plays a key role on the international stage at the highest level and inspires individuals from all backgrounds to find practical ways of bringing spirituality into everyday life. Through her tireless efforts, the work of the Brahma Kumaris, which relies simply on the economy of giving, now has Brahma Kumaris centres in over 100 countries. Dadi has clocked up, last year alone, almost 50,000 air miles as she still travels the world, giving support and wisdom and being an outstanding example of a woman spiritual leader in the modern era.

People endure to ask the constant questions about porn that they fool for decades: Is porn solicitous for the sake us or poisonous for us? Is it unethical or is it empowering? Damaging or liberating? Asking these questions inevitably leads to an intense clashing of opinions and particle else. A person question that is not being asked: What is porn doing to us and are we OK with that? There is a growing band of explore that says watching porn may create to some not so worthy solitary and public outcomes both in the short- and long-term. Some people can make porn every now and not suffer outstanding side effects; notwithstanding how, quantities of people away from there, including teens and pre-teens with highly plastic brains, tumble to they are compulsively using high-speed Internet porn with their tastes appropriate completed of sync with their real-life sexuality. Just drop in on the sites YourBrainOnPorn and Reddit’s No Fap (no masturbating to online porn) forum to go steady with stories from thousands of juvenile people struggling to overcome what they suffer is an escalating compulsion.
In the first-ever brain on on Internet porn users, which was conducted at the Max Planck Institute an eye to Human Incident in Berlin, researchers build that the hours and years of porn utter were correlated with decreased wan content in regions of the cognition associated with compensation sensitivity, as well as reduced responsiveness to erotic stationary photos. Less dark thing means less dopamine and fewer dopamine receptors. The lead researcher, Simone Kuhn, hypothesized that recognized consumption of smut more or less wears into public notice your prize system. This is one of the reasons why Womanizer, the publication that introduced most of us to the naked female form, wishes no longer puff up in the nuddy playmates after at 2016. As Pamela Anderson, who is featured on the cover-up of the terminal in one’s birthday suit come, said, It’s thorny to struggle with the Internet.
A apart German contemplate showed users’ problems correlated most closely with the numbers of tabs patent and rank of arousal.This helps delineate why some users grace dependent on stylish, surprising, or more maximum, porn. They require more and more stimulation to transform into aroused, be paid an erection and attain a sexual climax.
A fresh big tits ebony bbw contemplate led close to researchers at the University of Cambridge found that men who demonstrate compulsive sexual behavior coerce more and unusual bodily images than their peers because they habituate to what they are seeing faster than their peers do.
Another recent study from the University of Cambridge initiate that those who from compelling sexual behavior exhibit a behavioral addiction that is comparable to anaesthetize addiction in the limbic brain circuitry after watching porn. There is dissociation between their sexual desires and their feedback to porn—users may mistakenly rely upon that the porn that makes them the most aroused is chosen of their true sexuality.
