Silicon Valley, Milpitas, USA: hosted four landmark events with Sr. Shivani, welcoming nearly 8,500 attendees at the Santa Clara Convention Center on August 30–31.
The events began with Own the Present, a compelling invitation to live consciously in each moment—free from distraction and full of clarity. This foundation of awareness set the stage for Rising with Clarity, where participants explored emotional resilience and healing, gaining tools to navigate uncertainty with grace. From there, Code the Future expanded the horizon, inspiring purposeful action, right thinking, and wise choices as pathways to a future rooted in happiness and prosperity. The events culminated in Serenity in Stillness, a meditative immersion into silence, where attendees learned to access inner wisdom and embrace stillness as a source of strength.
Attendees were visibly moved—many describing the experience as “life-changing” and “a turning point.” One participant shared, “This wasn’t just a talk—it was a blueprint for conscious living.” Another, who traveled from Los Angeles, said with tears in their eyes, “I wish the event didn’t end and we didn’t have to go back.”
Bay Area souls joyfully welcomed Sr. Shivani, receiving and exchanging divine vibrations with Sr. Shivani and Sr. Kusum.
Inaugurating the events by invoking Baba through Candle Lighting, joined by dignitaries.
