The Chief of the Brahma Kumaris in the Americas and the Caribbean, BK Mohini Panjabi, delivered an inspiring message for peace and led a powerful guided meditation.
Hundreds of people from all walks of life joined this peace party and soaked up the good vibrations of peace, unity, and good will towards all. Even Mother Nature blessed us with glorious weather. Many shared how calming, relaxed, and refreshing it was just being there. The event was covered by TV Asia.
Peace in the Park is an initiative that started 9 years ago by a small group of kind-hearted individuals who came together to start raising awareness of compassion, love, and care for each other and the world. There is no better place to do this initiative but in Central Park, the heart of New York City, which is the heart of the world. The Peace in the Park team has made it their life’s purpose to create the world as a better place. These individuals work with the Brahma Kumaris, an international organization that promotes well-being through meditation.
