Mount Abu: Spiritual Headquarters of BKWSU

Mount Abu is considered to be the highest peak in the Aravallis. Since the ancient times, this mountain is closely connected with seers and sages. You can find various hermitages and temples upon it. In this sacred place, you can locate the spiritual headquarters of the Brahma kumaris. The atmosphere is so soothing that it automatically provides a sense of enchantment. The Raja Yoga, which is the king of all yoga, has been disseminated from here only. The headquarters possess three distinct campuses namely the Shantivan, the Gyan Sarovar and the Madhuban.

Building a Solar Energy Power Plant.

“India One “, an innovative 1 Mw solar thermal power plant is currently being constructed at the Shantivan Campus of the Brahma Kumaris headquarters, Abu Road, Rajasthan, India.

This project uses 770 newly developed 60m2 parabolic dishes and features thermal storage for continuous operation. The plant will generate enough heat and power for the campus of 20,000 people and will provide a sustainable model for decentralized solar energy generation,

The Brahma Kumaris have been world pioneers in the installation and use of solar energy within large communities. Some of its achievements include:

Installing solar hot water facilities that provide nearly 60,000L per day for bathing on the Madhuban and Gyan Sarovar campuses;
Constructing a solar steam cooking system capable of producing 35,000 meals per day on the Shantivan campus in 1998. This system, which has been running successfully for the past seven years, consists of 84 parabolic concentrators and daily generates 3500 Kg of steam.
Installing an efficient solar steam cooking system with a dish size of 12.6 square metres at the Global Hospital and Research Centre in Mt. Abu to provide steam for the canteen, sterilizers and laundry.
Installing a 50-kW solar photovoltaic power plant with Sunpower inverter on each of the three campuses in 2000, providing unlimited power for computer, sound and emergency lighting systems;
Equipping the 1,000-year-old village of Salgaon, which borders the Gyan Sarovar campus, with solar street lighting, solar lanterns and solar cooking boxes; similar assistance to other neighboring villages is planned or is already being provided.
Making solar technological expertise available to other large residential complexes within the Brahma Kumaris network in India. For example, a steam cooking system for 600 people has been set up in Yellapur (Hubli) and a system capable of providing meals for 2000 people has been completed at the Om Shanti Retreat Centre near New Delhi.
With the help of World Bank funding, equipping 60 centres in India with a 5kW solar PV system and providing 300 centres with a 1 kW system.
Promoting renewable energy technology and making it available to the public at affordable prices by providing information and selling thousands of solar lanterns, as well as hundreds of home lighting systems and solar cooking boxes, through its Solar Shop on the Shantivan campus.
