The Sixth Element - more BKWSU co-prosperity?
Posted: 15 Dec 2007
See, "How to re-market yourself and the BKWSU" or the Brian Bacon topic. Does anyone know BK Aruna Ladva ... TheSixthElement.Com? Would she be willing to come on forum and explain how this recent trend within a chosen few of the the BKWSU fits in with Gyan and the Maryadas? Honestly, can I ask, is it some kind of pay off for the successful middle management that wont make it into senior positions, to keep them onboard in the face of failed predictions of Destruction, Murli revision etc? Honestly, can someone explain to me how this works according to Shrimat?
And is this another BK turned commercial one person Neo-Raja Yoga Center? It appears to me that alll the usual signs of a BKWSU/OLA diffusion are on the go;
What is remarkable this time is ... an official business reference from Jayanti Kirpalani herself! Is "consultant and facilitator" the new short hand for "surrendered Sister" or "BK"?
What is the 6th element?
Oh, so it has nothing to do with Gyan then ... that is OK then. But surely ...
Light house .. light house ... where have I heard of that before!?! Some Might house doubts about where that comes from. Is Baba getting his commission?
Aruna Ladva helps us to seek good qualities in ourself ...
More analysis later as time allows.
And is this another BK turned commercial one person Neo-Raja Yoga Center? It appears to me that alll the usual signs of a BKWSU/OLA diffusion are on the go;
- testimony from Brian Bacon (not noted as a Senior faculty member of the BK University),
connection to de corporate coach Carteret in Canada perhaps (?),
hiding of the fact that the Bahrain Meditation Centre , "a self development centre providing training and seminars", is actually the Bahrain BKWSU Center,
use of BK service history and publications for references,
Leadership seminars,
a touch of Mike George's Spiritual Intelligence,
all dressed in white,
lots of discrete Baba-esque graphics such as Bliss-style bindis, angels, suns, trees and Mount Abu ...
"The power of detachment fostering and nurturing spiritual love"
What is remarkable this time is ... an official business reference from Jayanti Kirpalani herself! Is "consultant and facilitator" the new short hand for "surrendered Sister" or "BK"?
Aruna is a highly skilled consultant and facilitator in helping people realize their potential and guiding them with great sensitivity. Her intuitive ability to help people recognize their talents is very useful for such a job. Aruna is a very lively and dynamic individual with great enthusiasm for life and its challenges."

Oh, so it has nothing to do with Gyan then ... that is OK then. But surely ...
When we talk of the human being, we are not solely mass and fluid. We are energy, a force field, and a power house – light house!
Light house .. light house ... where have I heard of that before!?! Some Might house doubts about where that comes from. Is Baba getting his commission?

Aruna wrote:I become aware of myself as the spirit, the life force that sits in the centre of the forehead.
From this seat of the soul, I begin to feel the different parts of my body and after comforting them with my thoughts I resume my attention to this being of light.
I am a beautiful being with many divine qualities.
Each quality I possess is filled with power and strength.
I am full. Everything I need is inside of me.
I value all my resources of time, energy, breath.
I respect myself.
I love myself.
I am light.
I am might.
I am peace.
I am power.
I am now home.

About the Sixth Element
The Sixth Element is founded by Aruna Ladva. Aruna has spent the last 23 years as a student and teacher of meditation as well as focused on learning, living and teaching the art of personal development. During the 1980's and early 90's she gained a wealth of experience administrating, leading seminars and co-coordinating several international humanitarian projects whilst working as assistant to the European and Middle East Director of a large International Non-Governmental Organization (http://www.BKWSU.org).
In the mid-90’s she moved from London to Canada and turned her focus to Conflict Resolution, becoming a Certified Negotiator in Conflict Resolution with the Justice Institute, B.C., Canada.
In the late 90's and early 20's, Aruna worked as a freelance trainer in various countries. It was also in the beautiful city of Turkey that Aruna initiated the successful 'Mind, Body and Spirit' retreats which continue to be a success in other countries!
In the early part of the new millenium, Aruna moved her base to the Kingdom of Bahrain in the Middle East as Director of Bahrain Meditation Centre , ((http://www.bahrainmeditationcentre.org) a self development centre providing training and seminars. The Centre supports individuals in recognizing their own inherent qualities and abilities and bringing out their inner most potential. Working at all levels of the society the centre continues to inspire change and motivation in individuals and organizations.
She travelled extensively throughout the Gulf countries and also to Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey providing training and assisting in the establishment of other similar centres.
Aruna has now returned to Canada to make Vancouver her permanent base and continues to work freelance as a trainer and retreat leader.
She brings to her self development seminars several years of hands on experience from living and working in different climates, cultures and countries and with people from areas of business, arts and social services.
Aruna is a dynamic and extremely skilled trainer who uses humor and down-to-earth pragmatism with a profound understanding of the emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions of her subjects. She brings together the three key strands of the new millennia – management/leadership development, continuous learning and spiritual intelligence – in a unique blend of insight, wisdom and technique. Her positive vision of the future and her passion for life has motivated individuals all around the world.
Aruna advocates taking time out to retreat and re-charge. She believes when the needs of the body and mind are met that is when Spiritual Intelligence can begin to reveal its hidden potential. It was in a retreat setting over two decades ago that Aruna had some of her deepest realizations and was able to make some ground-breaking discoveries that changed her life forever.
Her ability to bring out the best in others and easily facilitate groups through otherwise challenging processes of change makes Aruna a refreshing and reassuring presence in the corporate classroom.
Aruna has a B.Sc. in natural health from Clayton College of Natural Health (http://www.ccnh.edu). She promotes a natural and earthly lifestyle and hopes that by creating this awareness in others, we can collectively reduce some of the staggering figures for chronic diseases in our society and increase our well-being.
Aruna is available for one to one consultations and meditation classes and may be contacted at the following email address: aruna@thesixthelement.com
