The current era teaches humans to hustle and struggle constantly. The fast-paced life has inculcated in the minds of many that chaos and breathlessness are a synonym of life, which is widely untrue. Humans need to pause, rethink, and revive their clear inner energy. Peace is what we crave, peace of mind, peace in work, peace in life; everything needs to be slowed down and reprocessed. Spirituality is one path that shows people the way towards peace and prosperity. Through spirituality, one finds their way to God and his Divine power. Before finding God, humans need to find themselves again by self-realization. People need to understand the mind and body and who they truly are as a soul. After this, they can finally guide themselves in the realms of the Almighty.
Humans are ancient and have a history of pain, joy, and wisdom of the masters that must be learned again. By spiritual practices, people will be relieved from the stress and tensions of life. Humans see a bigger picture of the self and practice spiritual knowledge; they understand the cause behind every effect. They gain so much more of the essence of life that they will find the ancient wisdom in modern life.
The Bani Foundation is one institution that has guided people on the right path by learning and inheriting from the events of the life of great men and Soul Ambassadors of the Persian culture and beyond. It is a spiritual, educational, cultural, and artistic institution dedicated to the education and training of spiritual seekers from the level of self-knowledge to the spiritual world.
The Path of Bani is an individual path in exploring the truth within and the bigger universe. It starts with connecting with the Light and Sound of God that is called differently in many languages. It was called the Missing Word, Shabd, ECK, Holi Spirit, Logos, and Shams-I-Tabrizi called it Bani. Bani does not mean God; it is God’s consciousness that people can connect to and experience. When one becomes a follower of Bani in this path, it is all about compassion for the soul and helping others who are taking their own path and need guides to help them pass through and going beyond the passages of the cosmic mind. As Shams-I-Tabrizi says, “Like the sun, it shines on everyone equally, followers and not followers.” Bani is not a religion, is not a belief; it is a spiritual pass to find the individual truth within. We share what we have received by God’s grace since the light is not for us to keep but to light the path for everyone who is a seeker. This is the way of the masters. The founder of Bani Teachings did the same when he found his connection to the Light and Sound.
Every Cloud has a Silver lining
Bani Foundation was initially registered in Iran in October 2002, under the name Scientific Institute of Pouya Mahdis. Its founder had started teaching publicly four years prior to that and held various sessions and seminars. Unfortunately, the Iranian government banned the teachings that were called ECK by its American name and called it against their Islamic beliefs. In 2011, Kamal Almasi Jaf, the founder of Bani Foundation, got arrested and detained for three years on charges of apostasy by the Iranian Government. After his release, he started his activities and was prosecuted again by Iran Government, and he had to leave the country. He began his teachings again while being a refugee in Kurdistan, Iraq. Through social media, his students found him and helped him continue the teachings. Finally, in 2020 Bani Foundation was registered in the United States of America, Canada, and Nigeria. Since then, the Bani foundation has been growing in different countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. However, the Bani Foundation Members in Iran are still under the government’s pressure and have to follow their teachings secretly. Despite all the limitations, the teachings have grown and left their mark in the history of spiritual and mystical teachings.
