SUMMARY:"Shift in Consciousness: Cultivating Inner Capacity for Global Social Progress"
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Solutions Session during 2nd World Summit on Social Development organized by the Brahma Kumaris Office at the UN. \nTrue transformation is a spiritual process\, recognizing that the inner world and outer world are parts of the same wheel of life; for the outer state of the world to be transformed\, the inner state must first be transformed.

SUMMARY:New Lenses for a New Vision - Inner shift to global impact
DESCRIPTION:Solutions Square during the 2nd. World Summit on Social Development organized by the Brahma Kumaris at the UN. \n​​The exhibition stall at the WSSD 2025 is envisioned as an experiential space designed to allow attendees to refresh and recharge and build a strong foundation of inner preparedness for sustainable action\, recognizing that fostering deeper inner capacities within human consciousness serves as a critical leverage point for addressing persistent and emerging global challenges. Our exhibition connects inner transformation with systemic outcomes\, emphasizing practical\, scalable pathways from self to society.  Clarity\, empathy\, resilience\, and stewardship translate into collaborative behaviors and policy-relevant engagement at the World Social Summit. The exhibition nudges participants to channel their inner shifts into collective action and partnerships that are people-centered and inclusive.   The exhibition augments the side event Solutions Session which highlights the role of transformative consciousness-based initiatives such as SIT Consciousness [www.justsit.world] which will also be launched as a global resource during the World Social Summit.  \nThe “New Lenses for a New Vision” theme invites participants to pause and reconsider challenges through alternative perspectives—looking beyond symptoms to the root causes and reframing responses to align with purpose and stewardship. Experience stations and interactive modules guide changemakers to practice seeing the “root/seed” beneath layered challenges\, encouraging genuine perception and purposeful action. \nOur Partners:\nOur partners have embodied the spirit of applying foundational consciousness to deliver impactful results in accelerating progress on the UN’s core pillars of social development: poverty eradication\, the promotion of full and productive employment and decent work for all\, and social inclusion\, ensuring no one is left behind. \n\n\n\nIndia Embassy Qatar: Powerful development initiatives from India that have their foundation in a conscious focus on “leaving no one behind”. \nATD 4th World: Their work on alleviating poverty through community action with the principle of ‘Leave no one behind’ has resulted in reaching out to those who are the most isolated. \nNGO Committee on Spirituality\, Values\, and Global Concerns: Their work to support the recognition and acceptance that spirituality and adherence to universal values provide solutions to global concerns\nFIFCJ-International Federation of Women in Legal Careers:  Their significant work to fight for the eradication of all forms of discrimination against women and to promote human rights.\nMUNA (UN Association of Mauritius): Active engagement with women and girl children of all socio-economic backgrounds through women empowerment and gender equality to ensure inclusive policies.\nNGO Major Group Unitive Cluster: Their work in adopting the lens of “eyes of humankind\,” the Unitive Cluster transforms division-based norms into values-driven\, common good-based norms.

SUMMARY:November Weekly Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Tonight’s meditation will be dedicated to UNESCO’S International Day of Tolerance which will be observed on November 16.  Tolerance is not mere endurance\, but an act of love that brings sweet\, imperishable outcomes.

SUMMARY:Unitive Principles in Action: Transforming Partnerships\, Equality\, and Innovation - A ECOSOC Partnership Forum side event
DESCRIPTION:As the world struggles to meet the 2030 Agenda\, it has become increasingly clear that siloed approaches to the 17 SDGs are insufficient. This participatory online workshop explores how unitive principles—recognizing the inherent interconnectedness of people\, place & planet—offer a transformative foundation for sustainable\, equitable & innovative action\, with particular emphasis on SDG 17. \nParticipants will engage with 3 successful real-world initiatives that intentionally place unitive principles at the core of their design and implementation\, and have demonstrated how unitive principles support collaborative\, equitable\, innovative & coordinated actions. These case studies demonstrate measurable outcomes achieved through a “unitive principles-first” approach—showing how projects grounded in explicit values generate greater coherence\, sustainability\, and impact and accelerate transformation. \nThrough dialogue\, reflection\, and practical examples\, participants will gain insights into how unitive principles can be activated in their own work—moving beyond fragmented solutions toward integrated\, principle-driven responses to global challenges. \nEvent co-organized by the Unitive Cluster within the NGO Major Groups at the UN and the Brahma Kumaris. \nClick here to join on Tuesday\, January 27 at 1:15pm ET. \nLearn more about the Forum here.

SUMMARY:World Interfaith Harmony Week event
DESCRIPTION:This initiative\, which started in 2007\, called for religious leaders to engage in a dialogue based on two common fundamental religious Commandments; Love of God\, and Love of the Neighbour\, without nevertheless compromising any of their own religious tenets. The Two commandments are at the heart of the three Monotheistic religions and therefore provide the most solid theological ground possible. This formula includes all people of goodwill\, including those of other faiths\, and those with no faith. \nIt is hoped that this initiative will provide a focal point from which all people of goodwill can recognize that the common values they hold far outweigh the differences they have\, and thus provide a strong dosage of peace and harmony to their communities. \nprayers |  meditations  | panel discussion  | open dialogue  |  music  |  and more \nTillman Chapel of the Church Center of the UN \n777 UN Plaza\, 44th Street\, NY\, USA
