'The Time Is Now' is a "motivational video made by the same people who made successful 'The Secret' video, which was very popular amongsts BKs. It's all about visionary leadership, spirituality, reaching out to higher powers and so on.
'The Time Is...Now' is another covert Brahma Kumari service device. It's all about visionary leadership, spirituality, reaching out to higher powers and so on too! It says it has been produced by a BK front called "House of International Media" (HIM ... "Him", as in their god ... get it?) from luxurious state of the art facilities in Mount Abu. Is there some significance to the three dots?
The motivational video was shown at the 'World Interfaith Harmony Film Festival' which is interesting because during the Q and A session it show how successful the BK deception of not clearly stating that their motivational videos are Brahma Kumari service devices is.
Note, no one is wearing whites, no badges, the usually "no religion/true self" homilies but around 6:20, the BK film maker is asked how he managed to get "Sister" Jayanti Kripalani and others to contribute ... and has to admit HIM is part of the Brahma Kumaris and she is his "elder Sister". Of course, many of the VIPs that they used to promote it, like Uri Geller and Clark Peters, are either BK contacts or actual BKs (although Clarke admits he is not a very good one). The video was produced by BK Karuna Shetty, written by BK Barbara Ramsay and narrated by the BK superman Clarke.
This is the BKs' Godlywood where Karuna Shety rules, and any excuse to fly off to a 5 star hotel in oh-so-rich Principality of Monaco is a sign from God. As the BK god teaches, those "impure" starving children in India are "scorpions and snakes" who will come and go "like flies" and if they're having a hard time ... it's their karma.
It's a time to go chasing VIPs in luxury venues agains ...
'The Time Is...Now' recently won 'Best International Documentary Feature' at the 2013 Monaco Charity Film Festival. Sounds wonderful means pretty much nothing. Tax free Monaco might have a golden ring to it but the Film festival is pretty much some kind of vanity affair organised by a social climbing financial guru seeking influence with the rich and famous ... just like the Brahma Kumaris in fact. A marriage made in heaven.
Tagged onto similar dates as far more genuinely famous Cannes Film Festival a few miles along the road, Vicente-Andres Zaragoza, who manages a $400 Million investment fund for his super rich clientele, rather grandiosely announces that he is doing for "the benefit of the poor children around the world" rather than a single orphanage house in the backstreets of his Filipino home.
Now, don't get me wrong. I will not criticize anyone who does the least amount to make the most vulnerable more comfortable ... and I think this festival has genuine potential ... but I will question how sincere it is when in the next breath he reports he hands out yachts as rewards to his most valuable employees. Just wind down the hyperbole, Vicente, and wind up the donations. Betting against others loses with hedge funds is not the most ethical of financial strategies, not that the BKs cares as long as they get their profit ...
'The Time Is...Now' is another unlabelled covert Brahma Kumari service device which works by placing their "jewel", Sister Jayanti Kripalani, in a crown of "important people" (none of whom I've actually heard of) and having them say what the BKs want to say and build up to the proposal and conclusion the BKs are aiming for ... along with a load of subliminal BK messages and imagery. A great public relations device useful for showing to non-BK, or to impress concerned relatives of enculted BKs.
I am absolutely sure none of the non-BKs involved know of the BKs' ulterior motive and agenda, nor do they support it ... hence one has to raise ethical questions of using them in such a way.
The BKs use and edit others to say what they want to say, to promote their message like puppets.
A camera, TV, a movie, some good PR and publicity, it is a great way of seducing most people into giving or doing what you want. Interestingly, they did not chose their own 9/11 survivor, Ram Prakash Singhal, but instead chose two non-BKs, Christian Stanley Praimnath (who at least credit God with saving him) and Brian Clark. It's a soft way of introducing God into the discussion which BKs will them pick up on later with their god.
So where have our BK darlings been for their "serviceable" holidays this time? They've been to the luxury Villa Ephrussie de Rothschild on Cap Ferrat where obviously the spiritually needy are and done Godly service during the cocktail party surrounded by art works, attractive couture wearing models Ferraris and special guests from the AC Monaco soccer team ... but did they stay for the all night dancing? How it must have reminded them of the Ras Lilas on the Clifton beach back in the days of the British Sind.
But, don't worry, they were not enjoy it. They were just being "tested" ... at the Salon Trianon in Hotel Hermitage Monte Carlo, a historic luxury hotel with 400 Euro diamond suites ... rising to Euro 7,500.
"The Monaco Charity Film Festival caters to a dinner crowd of super-rich who park their yachts in the local marina in a town were independent filmmakers have to sleep in their cars because they can’t afford the price of a hotel room." Well, for God's sake, let them sleep on the floor of you luxury appartment or yacht, Vicente. "It's objective is to loosen the purse strings of Monaco’s well-heeled denizens and jet-setting tourists" ... which must have pricked up the Brahma Kumari leaders' ears. Monaco boasts the world's highest Gross Domestic Profit nominal per head and has the world's most expensive real estate market
"We entertain them, we feed them, we serve them fine wines, then we ask them to take their checkbooks out to support a good cause,” Zaragoza tells Variety.
Sadly, so far, it has failed to attract the big names used to promote it. There is controversy over whether certain charities actually got the promised money their participation was elicited. And there are no notable individuals involved ... but, hey, what the hell ... it's a big laurel leaf with a famous place full of rich people for the BKWSU to use on their advertising.
Zaragoza says his dream is to "create an MCFF trust fund along the lines of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation" ... so let's sit and wait and see if it is all just hot air or not. It appears the money he is talking about is not his own money but others and he is using it to promote his own investment skills. It's claimed he donates 30% of its management fees to charity ... some evidence of that would be good. A small plot of land in Manilla does not cost that much. Probably less than a half decent yacht minus mooring fees.
It must be nice to know where your BK donations are going, and that they are not being wasted on the starving children nearby in Rajasthan, a state which has the highest maternal mortality ratio and the fourth highest infant mortality rate in India and where child malnutrition is greater than 50 per cent. (One study found that 51 per cent of children under the age of three were underweight, 52 per cent were stunted and 12 per cent were wasted).
I wonder who got the kickbacks on all that construction and purchases they made making their Godlywood Studio anyway?

What is the MONACO CHARITY FILM FESTIVAL?
The Monaco Charity Film Festival is a venue that brings worldwide attention to new, emerging filmmakers as well as raising money to help impoverished and abandoned children around the world. This dual-focus event transcends the Cannes Film Festival in its humanitarian efforts and scope, and provides a wide variety of film workshops to gifted men and women from around the globe.

"We entertain them, we feed them, we serve them fine wines, then we ask them to take their checkbooks out to support a good cause,” Zaragoza tells Variety.
- Do I hear of a BK VIP center in Monte Carlo just yet?
Don't hold your breath ... but, as the BKs say, "if there is a wallet there is a way".
Just explain to me why, when their God is the "Lord of the Poor" are they in Monaco which has the world's lowest poverty rate, and the highest number of millionaires and billionaires per capita in the world?
Monaco is known for lax policies with respect to money laundering and created its wealth with casinos. Surely that's not very "pure" and Godly ... or am I missing something?
