Brahma Kumaris 90th Anniversary

The Brahma Kumaris’ 90th anniversary is being framed less as a retrospective and more as a renewal of purpose. Their philosophy — that peace begins within and radiates outward — is deeply embedded in practices like Raja Yoga meditation, where the affirmation “I am a peaceful soul” becomes a cornerstone of inner transformation.

In essence, the Brahma Kumaris’ 90 years of service can be seen as both a legacy and a fresh invitation: to cultivate inner peace, strengthen one’s relationship with God, and allow that transformation to radiate outward into a more peaceful world.

What stands out is the way this philosophy scales: inner transformation radiates outward, influencing families, communities, and even societies. The Kenyan programmes on September 21, aligned with the International Day of Peace, are a perfect example of how local contexts can embody universal questions: Who am I? What gives life meaning? Where can lasting peace be found?

For those taking part in the Kenyan programmes, September 21 will be an opportunity to explore questions that are both deeply personal and universal: Who am I? What gives life meaning? Where can lasting peace be found? And how can inner transformation contribute to a more peaceful world?

Siaya Stadium Grand Opening

  Siaya Stadium's Grand Opening: A Triumph Undermined by Critical Failures The recent inauguration of the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Stadium in Siaya, highlighted by the high-profile Gor Mahia vs. Kitara FC match, presented a mixed bag. While the event marked a significant milestone for Kenyan football, it also underscored critical shortcomings that need urgent attention to ensure the stadium's long-term viability and the safety of future football events. The match, which had the potential for international sanctioning (had it been properly coordinated through both the Kenyan and Ugandan football federations, as well as CAF), was marred by serious security lapses. The presence of two heads of state only amplified the severity of these shortcomings. The absence of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) from the organizational process was a glaring oversight, contributing to the lack of clear protocols and the resulting chaos. Fans dangerously infiltrated restricted areas, including Zon...
