Being Effective in an Affected World Event


Young BK's inspire an event that brought together a diverse group of individuals to share their experiences.
This event explored how we can use spirituality to glide through our daily routine.

This was a very successful event where we had Sister Jayanti, the Lord Mayor of Leicester and Steve Humphries (Games Director of the Special Olympics) come down to share their experiences.

The aim that was inspired by the young BK's was to shake hands with students and working professionals in the City Centre, introduce and inspire them to have spirituality in their lives.

Over 200 people turned up to watch.

The core team consisted of mainly young faces. All of us took lots of benefit from it. We attended meetings twice a week and then went to rehearsals.

The event on the evening was held by young people. The 2 hosts, sound and video team, the director of the event, Q&A mic runners, stage crew and even the ushers all had young BK's involved.

This was very special as it bought everybody together, using teamwork on the day and group meditations on the build up.

To add to this, the event was held at a University in Leicester (Demontfort University). This gave an opportunity to target the students.


The event started off with a 10 minute video introducing the audience to the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University (UK). This was put together by a recent graduate in Media.

The event was hosted by Jyoti Basra (25) and Vishal Gohil (24) who guided the audience through introducing Steve Humphries (Games Director of the special Olympics), The Lord Mayor of Leicester and the key note speaker: Sister Jayanti.
They facilitated a question and answer session and made sure the event ran smoothly.

There was also entertainment from 2 artists that have done many live music performances throughout the world: Rahul Thanki (22) and Hitesh Ramji (24).

The audience left, taking with them the inspirational words of wisdom from Sister Jayanti and the warm experiences of Steve Humphries and the Lord Mayor.
