Brahmakumari Foundation Session for the Seniors: To add more happiness, peace and enjoyment in the lives of seniors, the SCF forum organized a special session with the support of Brahmakumari foundation in March. The Chairperson welcomed all the guests and was genuinely overwhelmed with gratitude as it added to the incredible journey of them to reach their personal milestones of 60, 70, 80 and 90!! The unwavering support and active participation from all the seniors have touched the hearts which is a reminder of being one community forever.

This specially crafted session, centered around the theme “Live Happier, Live Longer,” was nothing short of transformative, thanks to the remarkable insights shared by Sister Sapna and Sister Niharika from the Brahmakumari Foundation. Their wisdom illuminated their paths and ignited a flame of *inner peace and joy within everyone.

Sister Sapna’s words resonated deeply, reminding  all that true happiness springs from the depths of our souls, unaffected by external circumstances. Her message served as a guiding beacon, urging to embrace the beauty of life with open hearts and minds. Equally impactful were Sister Niharika’s expertly guided meditations which transported to realms of serenity and tranquility.

It was a privilege to witness over 80 members of our esteemed Forum actively engage in these transformative *practices, fostering a sense of unity and harmony among all. The SCF extended heartfelt appreciation to the dedicated members of the Brahmakumaris for their invaluable support and assistance throughout the session, from the distribution of Prasad to the heartfelt exchange of greeting cards.

The session culminated in a delightful high tea, graciously hosted by the Senior Citizen Forum. As everyone savored the delicious spread of sandwich cutlets, Gulab Jamun, and refreshing tea, the Chairperson expressed immense gratitude for the bonds of friendship and camaraderie that unite all.

The Senior citizen forum is now visited and cherished by more and more residents in the morning and evenings that are seen chatting and chilling for hours. Anyone can join SCF by visiting SCF office to make new friends in the colony. The SCF has planned more interesting events for April ’24 to give more and more chances to the residents of Defence colony to enjoy and spend quality time with each other.
