Words from the tradition

Four words in this book are not the author's pictures. They belong to Raja Yoga as taught by the Brahma Kumaris, and they are used here with their own meanings.


Amrit Vela	अमृत वेला	The early hour set aside for quiet connection, traditionally around four to five in the morning. This book keeps the name and the purpose and not the clock (chapter 10)
The register	—	Their own word for the day's account, and the reason this edition is framed as it is. "Your register should be cleared every night" (chapter 10)
Jeevan Mukti	जीवन मुक्ति	Liberation while living: still at the centre, fully active in the world (chapter 11)
The eight powers	अष्ट शक्तियाँ	The toolkit below

A note on the spellings. The Brahma Kumaris publish these names in Devanagari and in English translation, but they do not publish a standard Latin spelling of the Hindi. The romanisations in this book are the author's own and should not be quoted as theirs.
