Dear Divine Family, &nbsp; Om shanti and greetings of love.&nbsp; In 2025, Brahma Kumaris in Texas reach 50-years of service in the USA. It all started in 1975 with Mamma’s murli in a satsang with the Vaswani family and Dr. Hansadidi in San Antonio, Texas, USA. After Dadiji Prakashmani’s first visit to the USA in 1976, Raja Yoga classes were conducted at Dr. Hansadidi’s place, and advertised in local newspapers. In 1977, A nonprofit organization was registered for Brahma Kumaris service, and a Raja Yoga center was opened. &nbsp;Newspaper article headlines read, “Raja Yoga Center First in U.S.” with Sister Denise’s picture. Much love in BapDada’s yaad, Brahma Kumaris www.bktexas.com
