This event was attended by a limited number of specially invited persons numbering just over one hundred. The main aim was to bring VIP’s and other cooperative souls to Baba’s home. This has slowed down since Covid 19 as many souls including BK’s are in less numbers to the Centre.It was a spectacular, heartwarming and spiritually charged environment. Guest upon guest, each one being professionals, respectable in society, who have admiration for values, virtues, and acts of kindness, expressed their gratitude and compassion for their experiences of Spirituality in practical application of the benefits they have achieved from their encounter with Sr Payal and other BK’s.Many friends meeting each other after a long time brought jubilation, laughter and happiness. “An angel is in our midst”, a true mother, a caregiver, referring to Sr Payal was expressed. Expressions through songs, video documentary, commentary, topped off by sharing of gifts and dinner left everyone in attendance in a feeling of blissfulness.Special thanks must be given for the contribution of Harilal Bhaiji and his team at Godlywood studio for producing a short documentary on the life of Sr Payal from childhood to present. Souls were very impressed with both her academic and spiritual contribution as well as her acknowledgements of awards for her service. High compliments and thanks for such a wonderful presentation by Goodly Studio in a very short time which I hope will be shared with the family as a means of knowledge and inspiration.The cooperation of the staff for the hosting of the event was family oriented. Love and selflessness were expressed as each one giving of their worth and talent. Baba’s service was on their minds and heart, which was no doubt achieved and shall forever be remembered.The programme was chaired by Br Harrypersad Maharaj, National Awardee, Justice of Peace and BK with over 48 years of experience and received gratitude from the guests.Sr Payal expressed the vote of thanks and commended each one for supporting her and giving her the opportunity to serve.Some of the guests includes:His Excellency Dr and Mrs Pradeep Rajpurohit - High Commissioner of India to TrinidadMrs Zalayhar Hassanali – former first ladyMr Winston Dookeran – Pravasi Awardee, former Governor of Central Bank and Acting Prime MinisterMs Leela Ramdeen- Journalist, Chair – Catholic Commission for Social JusticeMr Fize Mohammed – Businessman – Shri Satya Sai Baba OrganisationDr Roy Tilluckdaharry – Prominent Specialist doctorMr Reynold Cooper – Former Permanent Secretary and Head of the Public ServiceArchbishop Barbara Gray Burke – Spiritual Head Spiritual BaptistMr Leslie Mohammed – Bank ManagerDr Dave Singh – Medical DoctorMrs Kamla Tiwarie – President Hindu Women OrganisationMr Rana Mohipp – Professional song and music teacherMr Ramnarine Ramdass – Chartered AccountantPandit &amp; Mrs Hansraj Persad- Spiritual Head Vedic Mission of T&amp;TMrs Karen Dass – Radio BroadcasterMr &amp; Mrs Shivanand Tilluckchand – BusinessmanMr Manohar Ramsaran – former Minister of Sports and Youth AffairsMr Chandresh Sharma – former Minister of TransportMr Jayo Seepersad – BusinessmanMr &amp; Mrs Ranjit Takur – Businessman/JewellerMr &amp; Mrs Ashwin Patel – Businessman / JewellerMr &amp; Mrs Indar Boodhu – Videographer and Teacher &nbsp;BK Dr Payal, NCO &nbsp;Antigua and Barbuda&nbsp;</div>

fragrance with him. He was honoured with a thilak and blessing button. To culminate the visit of Br Ramshlok to Antigua, a get-together programme was held at the RajaYoga Centre. It was the second time ever that we had such a turn out to a BK event on the island. Bro Ramshlok had a class on yoga experimentation in action. He shared his rich experiences in his spiritual journey which inspired everyone. After that we had a Q &amp; A session.&nbsp;All Board of Directors on the Island were also present. Bhaiji spoke, conducted meditation and distributed madhuban toli. Director of BK'S on the island Dr Payal also spoke and greeted everyone personally. Bro Ramshlok enriched us with the classes ,Sakash and experiences. Thank you Baba for sending Angels to empower us, to encourage us.Sister Payal National Coordinator Antigua and Barbuda

News from Antigua and Barbuda

Divine Family,Greetings of peace.Kindly see the report of BKs participation in the 4th International Conference on Small Islands Developing States (SIDS4) on May 27th in St Johns, Antigua and Barbuda this year.&nbsp;President of the United Nation Mr Dennis Francis and world leaders gathered in the Caribbean Islands of Antigua and Barbuda from May 27th to 30th 2024 for 4th International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS4),&nbsp; under the theme “Charting the Course Towards Resilient Prosperity”.“We are gathered here not merely to reiterate our challenges but to demand and enact solutions,” stressed H.E Gaston Alphonso Browne, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda as he opened the Fourth International Conference on Small Islands Developing States (SIDS4) on May 27th in St Johns, Antigua and Barbuda in W.I.The event brought together over 3,000 delegates to develop and support the blueprint known as the “Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for SIDS (ABAS) that will guide Small Islands Developing States towards resilient prosperity in partnership with the international community.Acknowledging the special circumstances of SIDS, the conference, which is held every ten years, looks to drive support for implementing the ABAS to bring all SIDS closer to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.All five sisters were like Shaktis spreading their powerful vibrations and messages.With thanks and appreciation to Baba for the success in service done in many ways.&nbsp;
