Winter Storm News from Dallas Texas
18 February 2021
Om Shanti Divine Family, Greetings of love.
Due to the unprecedented, historically low temperatures over an extended period, there is a power outage in the center and for few Brahmins since February 14, and we are expecting the outages to continue for the rest of the week.
Texans are not used to these low temperatures. The electric companies are trying to restore power. But it can go anytime. Today we have had power since 9 am.
We are well equipped and managing well to do the Murli classes in the mornings and Yog/Tapasya in the evenings - and are of course enjoying the drama.
Thank you for your loving good wishes.

New Initiative - Uniting Souls in America (USA) Mansa Seva
17 February 2021
Dear Divine Family, Warm greetings filled with love.
In our February 14th USA sustenance call, we presented a mansa-seva project to serve the USA. The theme of the initiative is Uniting Souls in America (USA) Mansa Seva. This program is in response to the increase in hate crimes and domestic terrorism. The country we love and are here to serve needs us, ancestor souls, at this time. Collectively, we can and at least try to unite this country's souls through some common spiritual threads.
This mansa seva initiative asks all BKs to spend at least 30 minutes of our evening meditation to devote to this worthwhile cause, from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm, starting from February 15 through Dadi Janki Day (March 27).
The aim of this time together is to:
· To see everyone as souls. Not as a particular race, or religion, or ethnic identity but to really see each one as a soul.
· Through our thoughts, our yoga, and our sakaash connect all souls to their eternal Parent.
· Become a conduit of Baba's love and spread it to each and every soul in this country.
· Increase souls' sense of belonging to a higher cause and their Divine Parent.
The team will send out excerpts on Mansa Seva, on Baba's love, belonging, good wishes, and pure feelings for each of the days in this initiative. We suggest you use these excerpts to guide and deepen your mansa seva. For February 15, 16, and 17 we suggest you use the Avyakti Parivar points for each day, as these points are focused on the practice of soul consciousness.
In Love and Remembrance of our Beloved Baba,
USA Mansa Seva Team on behalf of Sister Mohini

Link for Several Published Weekly Articles Written by Sr Chirya for the Owego Pennysaver Online Newspaper Plus Other News
10 February 2021
Om Shanti,
Thought you might have interest in some service news! We are all fine and enjoying lots of snow and cold, in the bodiless stage!
Here's a link for a list of several of Baba's weekly articles published in the on-line Pennysaver: http://www.owegopennysaver.com/PS/?s=Chirya
The Mountain Eagle newspaper is also continuing to publish weekly and is very happy to have me "as part of the team!" says Editor Matt recently.
Sunday's BK Daily News from Karuna's office also published Baba's recent article on Unity:
Knowing Our Identity Creates Unity
bkdailynews.org - President Biden's focus on Unity inspired Sister Chirya to write this article.
President Biden was elegantly humble in delivering one major thought into the collective conscience of the nation in his i…
And here's a photo of an article that arrived in today's Pennysaver. We were most pleased with how it was published. The photo is one that I took. Many loved the store 'The Hand of Man' (mentioned under the photo). My lokik sister Pat ran it for 45 years and it recently closed.
BapDada in the early days gave me the blessing of my name and continued at one point saying, 'Chirya, you are the one who continues to 'chirp, chirp, chirp' knowledge to everyone'. And it's happening! Baba is doing and I am enjoying!
All is well, lots of love,
Sr Chirya

How do we ensure that our kids learn and sustain values in today’s unsafe world? How do we harness the innocent and young generation’s ability to grasp, learn, and grow it in the right manner? At Brahma Kumaris, we understand that positive living values are needed to raise a “Whole child”. Living values such as peace, love, respect, tolerance, cooperation, honesty, responsibility, and freedom are critical social values cherished and aspired all over the world. Our unique technique will enable them to absorb and imbibe these living values content easily. The classes are catered towards kids (8-14 years) and they have been customized in a way so that learning will be fun and easy.

Peace for the USA
15 January 2021
Om Shanti, Baba’s elevated instruments serving in the United States of America,
The souls we have been given the opportunity to serve are all in need of powerful peaceful vibration. Great amounts of upset, anger, and conflict are palpable in this part of the world.
We are hopeful that you will be able to share extra peaceful vibrations each day for the rest of the month to serve the souls who have to play their unique roles. You may also inspire the students in your area to have mansa seva for the country and the world.
In Baba’s yaad,
BK Mohini

Om Shanti and Greetings for the New Year,
Baba has chosen special instruments to serve in the USA. Each of you is being asked to share our vibrations of peace and harmony during these unsettled days where the change of power occurs in the USA government.
Please suggest to the instruments and students in your area to offer powerful raja yoga vibrations for the citizens and the USA family. It is anticipated that this month may need extra calming energy for all souls here.

News from Washington, DC on 6th January
6 January 2021
Dear Global Family,
Loving greetings as we continue to observe the drama. I wanted to draft you this short note to let you know all of Baba's children are fine here in Washington D.C..Today we held a Prayer for America on the evening online program, The Next Normal. The images you might have seen on the news represent a small group of people in America who believe whole heartedly in the current leadership. Their storming into the Capitol was a message to help overturn the election results. However, it failed. This is a big wake up call for the leaders in politics here. I have received many calls today and most people are praying and wishing for America to be at peace.
I do request your continued pure wishes and vibrations will help to keep the calm.
Thanks to the many of you who texted and called.
Wishing everyone the best.
In Baba's Yad,
BK Jenna, Washington D. C.
