Recently a small group of BKs visited the Indian Embassy to greet the Head of the Cultural Wing at a public event.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:100%;"><img src="https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/2025_Feb_Welfare_In_Ukraine_1_b848c96eb3.jpg" alt="2025-Feb_Welfare-In-Ukraine_1.jpg" srcset="https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/thumbnail_2025_Feb_Welfare_In_Ukraine_1_b848c96eb3.jpg 208w,https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/small_2025_Feb_Welfare_In_Ukraine_1_b848c96eb3.jpg 500w,https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/medium_2025_Feb_Welfare_In_Ukraine_1_b848c96eb3.jpg 750w,https://d3dfjidmqdc9yy.cloudfront.net/images-prod/large_2025_Feb_Welfare_In_Ukraine_1_b848c96eb3.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px"></figure>The Sangam Retreat Center (SRC) in Ukraine is a place of special enthusiasm and cooperation of the Brahmins. Periodically, despite the difficult circumstances of the present time in Ukraine, Baba's children from different cities of the country (Kiev, Odessa, Uzhgorod, Lviv, Nikolaev, Mykolaiv, Bila Tserkva, Ternopil, Kharkov, etc.) with lots of love and enthusiasm, have been coming here to continue construction, planned repair work in SRC, as well as various kinds of work in the garden. Baba named His sacred Retreat place as Sangam. Wah! We had glimpses of the ongoing Kumbh Mela and enjoyed watching all the scenes of Drama! We celebrate all the festivals. While sisters decorate the main hall, prepare tolis, sweet treats, etc., brothers not only wash the utensils but also help in other services to maintain the sanctity of SRC. We gather together at the table 3 times a day exceptionally twice! Everyone was so fascinated by the joint work that we decided to continue this tradition. Many brothers and sisters, sometimes guests join online to watch the festivals, classes, ruhruhan. Sweet treats, toli, gifts, and songs continued during the celebrations and create special atmosphere of light, unity, inspirations.... at Baba's SRC. Our Respected Chakradhari Didi, Sudha Didi, Santosh Didi, Bro. Vijay and many seniors continue to shower on us the unlimited good wishes and blessings. We do feel pure vibrations reaching us from brothers and sisters from Russia Region, from Madhuban and the global family.

Followed by the meditation, we the children of the Purifier Father gathered around the fire to burn to the slightest traces of impurity on the eve of the Rakshabandhan celebration. After such a ceremony we returned to our rooms and moved into the Lap of the Purifier Father and Mother.Sweet SilenceFilled with Sweet Silence from the beginning of Amritvela our retreat mood continued with Karma yoga and spiritual study. In addition, an online workshop "Light and Might of the Army of God" was also organised. In the evening we gathered in the newly built summer pavilion to meet the revered Didi Sudha via Zoom."When we tie rakhi to someone or some one comes to have a rakhi tie us, at that time a state of the soul naturally arises: "I, the soul, look at the soul." This soul consciousness of both me and the other person is the foundation of purity. And in order to make this practice firm, we celebrate it every year, because knowledge of the soul is our first and our last lesson," said Didi. A sweet surprise was the joining of Baba's special jewel, Didi Chakradhari in the meeting. Didi Chakradhari addressed to us with words of inspiration and blessing, and also congratulated us for celebrating the sacred festival in Ukraine.Main eventDefinitely, the main event of the retreat was the elevated celebration of Rakshabandhan. After a talk on the spiritual significance of the festival, everyone wrote a loving letter to Baba, got tied rakhi and applied tilak, received blessing, gift and toli. At the end of the Rakhi tying ceremony we sat together and again merged in the love of BapDada and divine family. Had Brahambhoj in silence. &nbsp;Rakhi - a special gift of self-development Various programs of self-development and subtle service:Workshop on "Purity in the Service of the World", special meditation on "Serving the Elements of Nature", a friendly family talk on "Time of Receiving and Giving", an evening meditation on "Gratitude to the Father". A special event was the festive ceremony of planting flowers and trees in the garden of Baba's Sangam Retreat Center. &nbsp;Suddenly came the Last day We felt how every minute of Rakhi gathering gave us &nbsp;unforgettable fruits of the Confluence Age. &nbsp;After the Murli class and breakfast, the retreat participants gathered for the farewell ceremony, vidai-badhai. Each Brahmin received an apple as a symbol of the instant fruit of spiritual efforts, and words of special inspiration from the senior sisters. Sisters and brothers left the Retreat Center as jewels of contentment.Thanks&nbsp; Om ShantiIn Baba's yaad and seva,BK Nina Danylenko, Kyiv Center, Ukraine&nbsp;To check out all pictures of the Rakhi Retreat, please visit -<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HMW_gOisiMDogMZsk3A6sx2zNVibl5Z7?usp=sharing">https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HMW_gOisiMDogMZsk3A6sx2zNVibl5Z7?usp=sharing</a>

Please accept Rakhi Greetings and warmth from Ukraine.As all of you know, after more than 900 days of war, the situation remains tense in the world in general and in Ukraine in particular. Both large cities and small villages here are subjected to daily shelling and bombing. Electricity consumption is restricted now and then. In addition, the sounds of air raid sirens interrupt sleep at night though we all get up in time at Amrit Vela to go into Baba's lap again.However, during all this time, BKs and BK centres remain under the unbreakable canopy of God's protection.And our main focus now is on the on-line programmes, service with the mind, and personal spiritual efforts. In addition, we exchanged a lot with BKs in our region.At the moment lokik people generally do not move much away from their homes. One fortunate soul is currently taking the introductory course at the Kyiv centre. Of course, some attend online courses in Spiritual Knowledge and Raja Yoga Meditation. Some attend other courses.According to Trikaldarshi Baba's plan, to our fortune, we have the oasis of peace and safety, the Sangam Retreat Center (SRC), located in Vinnytsia Region of Ukraine. Although construction work is still ongoing at SRC, BKs from different cities of Ukraine take turns coming to SRC to do service, experience solitude, enrich the soul and rest.Happy to inform you that recently, a new automatic traffic control system was launched at the retreat centre. It operates in two buildings and also outdoors. Madhuban emerges in our hearts while listening to the beautiful traffic control songs.Welcome to the rich harvest of fresh fruits ripening in the blossoming orchard at Baba's SRC!
