On behalf of NCT Thailand, I would like to inform the news of the earthquake in Thailand as follows: The earthquake hit Thailand on Friday of March 28, 2025 around 1:30 p.m. The Epicenter of the earthquake was near Mandalay City in Myanmar where it was measured 7.7 magnitude and strong effects were felt in Bangkok and other parts of Thailand. Death toll in Thailand is 17 with 77 missing who were the workers of the collapsed under-construction building. During the quake, there was an evacuation procedure for all high-rise buildings to the streets. Many people were panicking, frightened, and scared due to the shaking and unexpected aftershocks. Also, the elevated rapid transit system and subway were shut down. Lots of people had to walk home or wait on the streets until night. However, we barely felt the aftershocks until now. Everything gets to normal while more preparation and precaution of dealing with earthquakes are concerns. The quake did not harm any Baba's centers and BK students in Thailand at all. We are safe and well under Baba's Canopy of Protection. It is such a signal for all of us to be ever ready at peace and stay in Baba's remembrance consistently. This is the only way to be safe and able to help others. Shukriya Baba and all BK families around the world who sent us good wishes and pure feelings. We greatly appreciate your love and care vibrations and sakaash.IBY Chittinun Tejagupta NCT Secretary

Dear Brothers &amp; Sisters,We are all safe and all Baba's centers are also safe. There was a very strong earthquake and the earth rumbled so much that it felt as if there was a lightning strike. It was not subsiding for a long time and we came out of the house and sat in the remembrance of Baba. The phone line did not work till the evening and then we got news of all the centres by the night time. There has been a lot of damage around the Retreat Centre, mosques have also been broken, old houses and banks have collapsed. So many people have died and 90 percent of the houses in the entire city have cracked. The earth continues to shake intermittently in Mandalay and the walls of Baba's house are also slowly cracking. The earth was shaking even at night so everyone came out on the road and it is difficult at the moment to go inside the house. Baba has kept all of us safe in his canopy. Thank you very much to Baba and to all our Brahmin family who always give good wishes and pure feelings to us, thank you Baba!In Baba's sweet remembrance,BK Shakuntala Myanmar

Family Retreat with Sr. GayatriWe spent valuable time with Sr.Gayatri from Amrit vela on 30 until 31 August 2024 at Suan Wang Kaew, Rayong province for the Rakshabandhan ceremony. The theme was - "Ekvrata".&nbsp; Thailand being the land of smiles - so we have a warm welcome with a dance performance from all 4 regions making it fulfilling with ample smiles &amp; abundance Joy.&nbsp; On the first morning, Sr.Gayatri gave us a clear explanation of what Baba said in the Murli and shared valuable ways how she has practically applied baba's knowledge in day to day situations. She set an example by being so honest, open and encouraging by asking everyone to raise questions while she carefully listened &amp; answered with a sense of friendliness and brotherhood.&nbsp; We had originally planned to tie the rakhi on Friday 30th from 3 to 5 pm, however due to uncontrollable circumstances, it started raining continuously just a few minutes before we started the program. Hence we decided to postpone the Rahki ceremony to next day. Instead Sr.Gayatri suggested that we utilize that time to sit in powerful Ekaant - yoga and purify the five elements, matter and entire atmosphere.&nbsp; The song in the Murli appeared in our minds “The rain of knowledge is for those who are with the Beloved” It was a powerful silence and loving atmosphere amidst the patter of the rains, the sky &amp; sound of ocean waves. Sr.Gayatri asked us to write a love letter to Baba, a pure and eternal love that only we, Baba’s children, receive at this time, in Sangam Yuga.&nbsp; In the evening, after dinner, we had Yoga and chit chat about the Yagya Stories. Sr.Gayatri generously shared her precious experiences of being with Dadi Prakashmani, Dadi Janki, Dadi Guzar and Didi Manmohini and how Brahma kumaris started to work in the UN. She further added about Didi Nirmala who had sustained us since the beginning till the time of her role as our guiding Light to move to her higher role with Baba.&nbsp; Sr.Gayatri further suggested that we could name our center as “Nirmala Ashram” after didi. This would always help our awareness to remain focussed on our purity and create a powerful &amp; pure atmosphere with power of elevated thoughts, feelings, words, actions and relationships like the lotus.&nbsp; The morning of 31st August was a clear sky, perfect for a joyful remembrance of Baba while taking a silent yet joyful walk on the beach. After listening to the cheerful and enlightening Murli, we prepared a suitable &amp; creative place to resonate a sacred atmosphere for tying the rakhi. Sr.Gayatri gave her powerful drishti to each soul giving a feeling of her total attention &amp; focus on them while she was tying the Rakhi. It was our first and maybe the only one time - we got to experience a beautiful and meaningful Raksha Bandhan at the beach in this Kalpa with 60 brothers and sisters and It will certainly remain in our memory forever in every cycle.&nbsp;
