Brahma Kumari Shivani is a well-known spiritual teacher and motivational speaker. She is associated with the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University, an organization that promotes spiritual teachings and meditation practices. She has gained popularity through her TV programs and YouTube videos where she shares insights on various aspects of life, spirituality, and personal development.

Although she is so popular, I’ve never had a chance to watch any of her videos and so I was curious to know what she has to say. This book was the perfect introduction I needed to her teachings and it has been a life-changing experience.

The language used is simple and concise, explaining in plain words the teachings she is trying to promulgate. Exercises which involve reflections, step by step instructions, checklists, important notes are highlighted in boxes to provide a gist of what she is trying to convey.

B.K. Shivani excels at making her teachings relatable by using everyday situations as examples, offering practical insights on how to navigate life's challenges and providing clear guidance for various circumstances. Every page was a learning experience for me and I think it has made me braver and stronger to face the worst in the world.

Her philosophy is focused on spiritual development, personal transformation, and contributing to a more peaceful and harmonious world.

My takeaway -
- Mastering the control of our thoughts and mind to shape our life
- Our actions, thoughts, and intentions have consequences (karma) and that by performing good actions, one can improve their future.
- the understanding that I’m a soul without a label
- Emotional detachment leads to happiness
- Choose to attract your miracles

If you're seeking to enhance the quality of your life, this book is an ideal choice.

Completed reading this masterpiece by BK Shivani. I've been listening to her talks and conversations for the past 12 years. Growing up while hearing and understanding a lot about Karma, Karmic Account, Roots of thoughts in our mind, and vivid approaches to life.

Nonetheless, this book might seem similar to her speeches or what one listens in the videos.

BUT reading it made me understand more. More deeply where I could actually pause and reflect back to what self care is "in reality", how even one thought is enough to shape our entire day.

With clarity and compassionate storytelling, Sister Shivani demonstrates simple methods to harness the power of effective thinking, thus giving us the key to perpetual happiness, health, strong relationships and a successful career.

As I come to the closing page of the book - ‘The Power of One Thought’ by BK Sister Shivani, my mind seems to be racing at an indiscernible speed, trying to fathom the depth of the words conveyed in this pithy book. This happens to be my second book by BK Sister Shivani. The first one being Happiness Unlimited.

As mentioned by BK Sister Shivani (in the Acknowledgement), this book has been inspired by the famous television show - ‘Awakening with Brahma Kumaris’ featuring Suresh Oberoi and Kanupriya, who became the voice of the people as they put forth insightful questions, and BK Sister Shivani offered perfect spiritual solutions to those practical issues. I must admit that there were times I took mental notes watching the show. Each episode was power packed with wisdom. I then tried my best to put the teachings into practice, when presented with similar situations in my own life.

In my humble opinion, this is no ordinary book - it is a lifetime of wisdom in distilled form. In this book, Sister Shivani eloquently explains the impact of every thought - each ‘one’ thought that gives rise to our feelings, attitudes, actions, habits, and personality, and how it influences our destiny. In the process, she awakens us to the truth: What we think about is what we bring about.

With clarity and compassion, and through powerful storytelling, Sister Shivani demonstrates simple methods to harness the power of effective thinking, thus giving us the key to perpetual happiness, health, strong relationships and a successful career.

This book is a step-by-step guide to channelling our thoughts through reflection exercises, self-care practices, personality development tools and guided meditations to manifest the life we want. It is an essential read for anyone who wants to unleash the true potential of their mind.

P.S. A friendly warning: if you plan to read this book, be prepared to be challenged. The timeless wisdom offered in this book, may tear down all that you have learned thus far, inviting you to renew yourself by following a brand new way of living. Should you still persist and read the book from cover to cover, I can guarantee you’ll not be the same person, as you would have embarked on the journey to become a better version of yourself. Om Shanti!

Do you constantly feel stressed or negative? Do you feel like nothing in your life is going according to the plan? Do you feel the need for a vacation?
If the answer to any of these above questions is yes then I have the perfect book recommendation for you.

‘I am the creator of my thoughts. I choose them, I create them’

The power of one thought by the most renowned motivational speaker BK Shivani unfolds the power of one thought. The book shows us the mechanism behind our thoughts and their reaction to our feelings and emotions and how we should train them.

The book is simple and elegant right from the first chapter keeping you engrossed in her words. The narration takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery and healing. The lines from the book seem simple but hold heavy depth and extreme importance in life.

The book focuses on the key aspects needed for a peaceful life. While many of us have high emotional quotient, we also have high emotional dependency and this book helps us liberate ourselves from all forms of emotional dependencies.It also highlights the need to drop the emotional baggage leaving the past behind which is not easy but also not so difficult.

The two other factors that make or break our thoughts and actions are anger and stress. And the author carefully breaks the illusion by decoding the ways to overcome it. The author also discusses the three barriers to success and well-being,self-awareness,creating sanskars through your willpower, the power of manifestation and affirmations, and seven self-care practices.

The book couldn’t have come to me at a better time. It was like an answer to all my conflicted thoughts. The confidence in my nervousness and the peace in my chaos.

💬 Everything you do in life has an underpinned pursuit of feeling peace, love and happiness. But today despite working hard, these emotions seem elusive-now you feel nice, the next moment you do not.

💬 Most of us ride an emotional roller-coaster from time to time. But we refuse to take responsibility for our emotions. We find it easier to blame the world for how we feel, and hence say, 'Life is a roller-coaster'

💬 Learning to accept the truth and becoming responsible not only influences to become to become better but also allows you to envision a new future with all your desires and the method to fulfill it.

📌 This book allows the readers to co-relate and dive into the moderate section of the unexplored science behind the human brain, thoughts, habits, feelings and emotions.

📌 It not only teaches the fundamentals behind the aspect but also teaches significance of using them efficiently in order to master yourself, in order to develop and grow into your next self.

📌 "The Power of One Thought" is an insightful read which offers a wide range of discussions and perspectives on the human mind and emphasis on the models and methods to learn channelizing your energy to establish a calm and composed mindset in order to unlock your potential.

Sister Shivani has always been a tremendous source of inspiration and strength for me, so I want to start with a humble disclaimer that this review is entirely positive, influenced by my personal admiration.
The book beautifully encapsulates the essence of spiritual teachings, making them accessible and applicable to everyday life. It simplifies complex concepts, allowing readers to easily integrate them into their daily routines.
Spirituality is a way of life, and living in alignment with spiritual principles helps us endure life's challenges and pressures. My favorite chapter is on Destiny, which ties together the lessons from the previous 11 chapters. Having personally experienced the truths discussed, I found it deeply relatable.
This book is an excellent guide, teaching acceptance and addressing the "why" and "how" questions that often arise in a reader's mind. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to start their journey, whether in reading non-fiction or exploring the spiritual path.

In this book, the author delves into ideas that resonate deeply with Indian culture, encouraging reflection and personal growth. The author neither quotes scientific literature nor uses technical jargon to appease the intellect; instead, he/she uses accessible, powerful narration to catalyze reflection. While reading, I felt an inexplicable upsurge of positive energy and inner resources to achieve emotional independence, sanskar transformation, and soul consciousness—all of which are described in the book. It holistically establishes the power of our thoughts and elaborates on their impact, potentially empowering you to make meaningful changes in your approach to yourself, your work, relationships, and life.

Listening to BK Shivani always has a calming effect on the mind. The practical approach, simple changes to make in life and her voice makes everything peaceful.

Her book echoes the same peace and calm. While reading the book I could hear her speak those words personally to me. That’s the impact of a powerful orator.

I liked the book for its simplicity and themes that are related to the daily life. This is definitely a book that you can start reading from any page because each page is full of insightful life lessons.

Loved the book! Everyone thinks that they come empty handed and leave empty handed. This book reflects that it is not true. The deeds you do and the thoughts you create pave the karma to be carried on. Eye opening! Simple but yet a powerful read.

karma to destiny

This was the book I understood myself.
Firstly , I realized that I am a Reader than a Listener.
I heard all this from various podcasts, but here the examples and illustrations she used were easy to assimilate.
