Dear Global Family,Brahma Kumaris Silicon Valley, Milpitas had the joy and privilege of welcoming two of Baba’s radiant angels—Br. Enrique Simo from Spain and Sr. Sonja Ohlsson from Denmark.Br. Enrique, through his talk, “Meditation: A Tool for Resilient Leadership” highlighted how meditation serves as a powerful foundation for building resilience, authenticity, and deeper human connection in leadership. He offered practical insights into how his personal practice—rooted in Rajyoga Meditation—helped open the hearts of others and inspire meaningful change. His message emphasized that true leadership is not merely defined by action, but by one’s awareness and inner state.Sr. Sonja shared insights into the environmental initiatives led by the Brahma Kumaris, emphasizing the deep connection between the self and the elements of nature. She spoke about the urgent need for each of us to take personal responsibility in healing and protecting the planet. She shared 10 practical steps—rooted in spiritual principles—for caring for our cherished and aging Mother Earth.The presence and talks of both speakers brought profound inspiration on their respective topics for all who attended.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/Milpitas_Enrique_1_e4b6b5781e.png" alt="Milpitas_Enrique_1.png" srcset="https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/thumbnail_Milpitas_Enrique_1_e4b6b5781e.png 195w,https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/small_Milpitas_Enrique_1_e4b6b5781e.png 500w,https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/medium_Milpitas_Enrique_1_e4b6b5781e.png 750w," sizes="100vw" width="750px"></figure><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;display:inline !important;float:none;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">Meditation and offering of Bhog to Baba with dear Br.
