Los Angeles ( USA ): Peace Day was celebrated at the Brahma Kumaris center in Los Angeles in a meditative atmosphere. The center was decorated beautifully in a way that gave a pure feeling of being under God’s Canopy of safety, protection and comfort. The event started with a guided meditation by BK Kristina.
BK Vivek welcomed everyone in the room and went over the flow of the evening program. Everyone watched a lovely movie introducing Brahma Baba, which gave an introduction about the ascension of The Light and a brief introduction about The Brahma Kumaris.
After the video presentation, BK Sister Chandru, Head of the Brahma Kumaris for the West Coast Region of the USA, gave a talk via video call. She made the whole audience chant OM seven times. She shared her experience of receiving the first lesson and introduction to “soul” from Brahma Baba directly.
After meditating together for few minutes, BK Vivek invited BK Sister Gita, Director of the BK Los Angeles center, to share a few words. BK Gita guided everyone into a peaceful conversation with the self. She requested everyone to take home the thought of “Determined Faith” for the new year and leave old, stale worries behind. She said that faith can move us forward only when we make up our minds. She added that each person is responsible for world transformation by first transforming themselves. The first step for it was “Determined Faith.” She also shared that the mind is our greatest enemy, to which everyone agreed, and that now it is our responsibility to make it our friend.
BK Kristina led the audience into a beautiful and powerful guided meditation, conducted by BK Gita and BK Vino. At the end, everyone received a blessing card, fruit and a toli (holy sweet).
