A rain of blessings came to us!

We are flying with our hearts full of Baba´s pearls and diamonds of love and wisdom that brother Yogesh shared with us.

We had in a nice friendly atmosphere, a meeting on “Culture of Peace in challenging times: inner peace for an external impact”. The panel included Margarita Penón (former first lady and former congresswoman), Lorna Chacón (journalist and professor at the University of Costa Rica) and brother Yogesh.

Mrs. Margarita shared different moments in which in Costa Rica, from the political leadership, spaces for dialogue have been opened thanks to humility and openness to listening and empathy. On the other hand, Brother Yogesh shared how it is necessary to learn to “connect” in order to be able to “find solutions”. Both referred to their meditation practices to cultivate a state of peace even in challenging moments.

Afterwards, the Brahmin family enjoyed a weekend retreat full of silence, love for Baba, spiritual empowerment, and interesting and deep churnings on the occasion of rakhi. We were in the minifundo created by Mrs. Elenor Detiger, who has been a long-time friend of Brahma Kumaris, and who has helped many peace causes.

We deepened the different levels of study, to move from “entertainment” to the real experience of “power”. This was particularly empowering to some souls that are not coming that much to the center since COVID lockdown. Having all of them experiencing deep yoga drills rekindles their promise to Baba, so this Raksha Bandan celebration was very significant for the brahmins in the Costa Rican family.

Then Marcela and Nela went to Nicaragua, where there was an in-person rakhi after 6 years of not being able to travel to that country due to their political turmoil. Furthermore, brother Yogesh was able to share a virtual talk with them about “Remaining stable in the midst of the storms of life”. All the souls that were served in this visit were so grateful and happy; asking when we would return to do more meditations with them. For Marcela and Marianella was a big step or courage by saying Ha ji! to the service when the unexpected situation came.

That same day in the evening, at Baba's house in Costa Rica, brother Yogesh shared a talk on “How to change the ordinary into unique”, which was also broadcasted live on Facebook live with more than 1500 views.

The shower of blessings also traveled to nature, where at the Irazu Volcano, we were able to go and enjoy a subtle and loving connection in an environment of total silence and lots of light.

The family benefited from meaningful chit chats, as brother Yogesh created a very trusting and caring environment where we could deepen in different aspects of gyan and yoga experiences. Bringing all brahmins souls closer to their connection with Baba and with each other. He created loving family feelings in everyone; therefore, we all were very grateful with his visit.

With love and remembrances,              
Marianne and Claudia.
