Brahma Kumaris Address Peace Festival on International Day of Peace in New York

Owego, New York ( USA ):  BK Chirya from Peace Village, New York  was invited to speak from the stage area twice  introducing Peace Village and giving a meditation commentary – ‘Om shanti, I AM peace, I AM light,  I AM love …etc..” as people quietly walked onto the peace symbol.

It was an exceptional program and people were so happy to be participating in such a worthwhile event.

Around 1,500 were people spread across a field to create one of the largest human peace signs next to Owego Schoolhouse Antiques, joining hands to celebrate the world’s largest peace sign. The sign serves as a beacon worldwide.

“This is the first international monument of peace on the planet,” Hilldale said. “I think we need to fill our minds with love and peace.”

“This is great,” Owego deputy mayor Charles Plater said. “To have everyone show up, a great crowd to symbolize peace love and harmony in one spot here in Owego. This is great.”

For Hilldale, the attendance numbers were affirmation there are people who want to build a better world.

The festival had local food vendors and live music to entertain the crowds.

“We’re hoping that the festival keeps getting larger and larger, and that voices of the people get larger and larger,” Hilldale said.
