Cerritos, California ( USA ): Brahma Kumaris Los Angeles Center Director, BK Gita, introduced the local leader and the pioneer, B. U. Patel, who had started the Sanatan Temple to BK Sister Vedanti, Director of Brahma Kumaris in Africa region. B. U. Patel gracefully gave Sister Vedanti a Proclamation from Cerritos Mayor, Naresh Solanki. B. U. Patel sincerely welcomed Sister Vedanti for speaking at the Sanatan Temple.
Sister Vedanti began her talk about forgiveness. She first talked about the humanitarian work Brahma Kumaris does in the African Continent. A four-minute video was shown about the ‘Pause for Peace’ Project that was done in Africa.
Sister Vedanti shared how busy we all are in today’s world that being busy makes you crazy, and busy brings you less success. She pointed out that how we live with ill-feelings which in turn makes our positive thoughts unstable. She explained the topic step by step and also talked about learning and practicing RajaYoga Meditation.
BK Trupti from Africa made a small presentation and began the talk by bringing up the word, “Michhami Dukadam” used by Jains during the days of their New Year. It means that “If I have offended you in any way, knowingly or unknowingly, in thought, word or deed, then I seek your forgiveness.” She said Jains say that you forgive me and I forgive you and we start the cycle all over again. After finishing the empowering talk, BKTrupti conducted a deep guided meditation once again, leaving everyone feeling light.
The session ended by sharing blessing card and toli (holy sweet) to everyone.
