Lying to Australian government: Dadi Janki now a "nurse"

Post01 Sep 2013

The Brahma Kumaris ability to re-invent themselves, and plainly lie and exaggerate, is truly "unlimited" and "global". From Values in Healthcare Trainers in Australia ...

Now, once "Most Stable Mind in the World", now Janki Kripalani is reinvented and promoted as a "nurse" to the Australia government's Ministry of Health, to punt one of their PR fronts, "Values in Healthcare" (meaning Brahma Kumarism in Healthcare) in an attempt to gain government contracts.
Seeking Solution- the Values in Health Care programme.

The inspiration for the programme came from the president, 93 year old Dadi Janki, who was once a nurse of the Janki Foundation for Global health Care charity.

The Janki Foundation is a UK based healthcare charity dedicated to positive human development, and working to research and promote a model for modern health care. It is committed to promoting holistic care and it already supports a hospital in Rajasthan India called the J. Wattumal Global Hospital and Research Centre. From her own contact in health care she was aware of low morale and burnout amongst those caring for the sick and needy, and felt that an approach was needed that would enable health care workers to tackle these challenges and re-build self confidence and motivation.

Let's be clear.

Dadi Janki Kripalani was never a nurse. The Janki Foundation for Global health Care is a front Brahma Kumari adherents created in order to gain donations to build a hospital to serve their elderly leaders in Mount Abu. It does not exist when Janki Kirpalani was doing grunt work for the cult. The BKs did not even have a hospital until just recently and Janki has never done a days worth of honest work outside of the cult.

From memory, the truth is she was considered so unimportant in the cult during the early days that she worked in the sick room of a dwindling commune of between approximately 200 and 70 of them that lived in Mount Abu in the 1950s. She has no qualifications, nor did she have to deal with any real healthcare or medical work.

If I am wrong, please correct me.

From the proposal, it seems the BKWSU was trying to get into Australia's healthcare system using unpaid volunteers but demanding payment for "administration" and costs, itself a new development for an End of the World cult who say they offer "everything for free".
BKWSU Australia wrote:Programme Delivery. The programme is quite flexible in the delivery with the opportunity for each
organisation to meet needs. It is envisaged that the Values in Health Care Trainers who are familiar with the principles of the programme and are experienced in its delivery would conduct Train the Trainer sessions either in separate organisations or across areas. Then these trainers would utilise the programme according to identified needs. As the Brahma Kumaris organisation is a not for profit organisation, the Train the Trainer sessions would be conducted free of charge.

The only costs incurred would be those such as travel, accommodation, administration etc. which would be negotiated in advance.

Each module consists of a six hour session, containing a mix of group learning activities, guided by a facilitator. The modules can be run as stand alone workshops, incorporated into wider development programmes, or run in sequence. The materials can also be effectively used for self study.

One has to question the use of unpaid volunteers and the offering of free course to cash starved healthcare systems as, obviously, it would undercut those genuine professionals living in the real world that have to pay for their living expenses and mortgages.

Dadi Janki Kirpalani never worked in healthcare and yet the BKs claim in their VIHASA information pack ...

She has no education beyond basic mathematics and no professional qualifications.

In Appendix I of the document the BKs write about a "group" of individuals coming together. It's not clearly stated that the group was set up by the BKs and included long terms followers such as Sarah Eagger, Joy Rendell, Maureen Goodman and others.
