Tonight’s meditation will be dedicated to “International Friendship Day” celebrated on July 30.
“This year, as the world faces profound ruptures — between nations, within societies, even within families — the call to friendship is not sentimental. It’s essential. It’s about reaching across what breaks us and daring to believe in something better. It is a call to imagine a future where difference doesn’t mean distance, where trust is stronger than fear. Through friendship, we don’t just cope with the world as it is — we begin to shape the world as it could be.” – UN website.

“Our relationships are never accidental. Every connection carries a story, a lesson, and a karmic imprint. Awareness can bring clarity, healing, and freedom.” – Brahma Kumaris.
