Antigua: Brahma Kumari Sister Payal, Director of the Brahma Kumaris in Antigua and Barbuda was invited by the American University of Medicine in Antigua and Barbuda to a Diwali Programme entitled ‘The festival of Light’ held on Saturday November 2nd at the University. This was an in-person event where over 100 medical students and professors from the University had gathered.
Sister Payal in addressing the gathering spoke about lighting the lamp of the soul to eradicate the darkness of the vices and body consciousness. Her speech was very much appreciated and touched the hearts of those gathered. Several attendees have shown interest in meditation after listening to Sr Payal.
While it is rooted in Indian culture and traditions, the Diwali celebration outside India is equally vibrant and colourful. Indian communities worldwide bring their customs to life, lighting up their homes and places of work.
The celebration brought people of all backgrounds together to enjoy the spirit of unity, love, and prosperity. The event was a celebration of music, dance, special messages and enlightening conversations and a mesmerizing performance by students.
