Our presence this year became a beautiful opportunity to silently share the vibrations of Raja Yoga, inner peace, and soulful connection—a reminder of the unity beyond diversity.</p><p>We felt deeply blessed to walk as instruments of God’s love, witnessing smiles and curiosity from the audience. The experience strengthened our commitment to serving humanity with purity and compassion. Special thanks to all the souls who contributed to this meaningful participation.</p><p>BK Minneapolis</p>
