Dear Spiritual Servers, Om Shanti & Happy Easter Holidays. Earth Day is coming up soon, and we have plenty of activities to choose from. Earth Day started in the US in 1970, so it is appropriate we now have a dedicated BK green team in the US:

Baba's USA Environmental Team has been working on a unified program for April in celebration of Earth Day, which falls on Tuesday, April 22nd.
The BK USA Earth Day Theme will be: Caring for the Earth — Spirituality in Action. The message on the flyer: Rekindle your hope and enthusiasm in caring for our planet. There is much to do — and so much we can do to make a positive difference. Join us. Let us imagine, create and act together.

Earth Day 22nd April

April brings us the joy of spring in many parts of the world. On 22 April, we celebrate Earth Day. This year, the Earth Day Organization has reached out to faith-based organizations to focus on their theme: "Our Power, Our Planet."
The BK youth representatives have created a user-friendly toolkit designed to help you organize your events. This toolkit contains various resources in 17 languages:
Video msg from Sister Jayanti
Video msg from Br Golo
Presentation to use for sharing (Brahma Kumaris Milestones in the power sector and also India One Solar Video)
Sudoku Puzzle for activity
Meditation commentary Videos in 17 Language (as more come in we will keep adding them)
Only Audio and Only text script for the meditations for anyone to use it differently and perhaps give live commentary
Switch off Meditation "EARTH, please REST!"
An easy to fill google form for reporting your events
Drive link for meditation resources
You may consider conducting a "Switch Off Meditation" titled "Earth, Please REST!" In this meditation, participants will go off-grid, minimizing all external power usage, and instead use their inner power to illuminate the world with love, peace, and truth.
We have also included a simple Google form to document each event. Please fill out the form, as we will compile the data to send to the Earth Day Organization.
We wish you all the best in your preparations, which we hope will be made easier with the toolkit. Serve Mother Earth, and enjoy your time on April 22nd!

Impressions from Green Days Madhuban

During the Double Foreigners season, the Green Team organized Green Day events in Dadi Janki Park for nearly every group. The park provided the perfect setting for fruit parties, walks, meditations, movement, and art workshops—culminating in the ever-popular Peace Concerts.
