Heads turned, people smiled and waved, and many were curious about the meaning behind the display. The sight of dozens of cars spreading a mes- sage of positivity naturally drew attention.

As the rally moved through the streets, the cars stayed close to- gether so that participants could remain united throughout the journey. This created a vibrant

From One Yoga Mat to a Park Full

"I didn't expect this many people to come!" was the hum- ble remark shared by Rohit, the Co-founder of Karmoksha Yoga. Rohit and Renu hosted an early morning yoga session in collaboration with HKL to cel- ebrate International Yoga Day and the Summer Solstice. They welcomed everyone with open arms at Unwin Park in Surrey, B.C. Although this was their SURREY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA model, they felt something was still missing. They discovered that yoga filled that void with a sense of peace. When they first began sharing yoga, they only had one member. She was 55 years old. This International Yoga Day, that same member, who is now 64 years old, wore a Karmoksha Yoga T-shirt. This kind and loving gesture filled their hearts with overwhelming gratitude as it reminded them of their humble beginnings.

Before beginning the yoga ses- sion, an HKL volunteer shared a few words and guided the participants through the weekly challenge: to feel your dancing heart and thank it. This was fol- lowed by Rohit sharing some background on yoga, including first time holding something like this, people came all the way from neighbouring cities to join. Rohit shared that their vi- sion is for yoga to be not just an activity, but for the meditative state to become a lifestyle.

In 2018, Rohit and Renu found yoga when they were least ex- pecting it. From working cor- porate jobs as an engineer and a

the eight states of yoga, with the eighth state being samadhi (a deep meditative state). The participants spanned from young children to seniors. The yoga session included warm- up exercises, yoga poses, and breathing exercises. It was both relaxing and a good challenge. It was beautiful to bring every- one together regardless of age or experience because when the instructors challenged us, it was relieving for us all to laugh at ourselves as we tried. The at- mosphere felt very light-heart- ed. After the session, HKL volunteers shared goodie bags with all the participants. It was a beautiful experience for the community to gather and start off the day with a practice that brings us closer to ourselves.

Twelve years ago, after attending a morning meditation, I drove to my University and spent two hours reading prayers in my car before my class would start. It was a dark and cold winter morning. I clearly recall leaving my car, and turning back and realizing that I had left the headlights on for the entire two hours while I was sitting in the parking lot. I said an "uh oh", went back to the car, turned off the lights, and decided that if the car doesn't start after class, it will be a problem I'll have to deal with later.

After my classes were over, I walked back to my car. I put the key in the ignition and my hunch was correct. It didn't start. I will admit that as a nov- ice driver, I did not know many basics about driver prepared- ness-including keeping jumper cables in the car.

I walked to the nearby student union and asked if they had jumper cables. They did not. I then came back to the car, lift- ed the hood, and then aimlessly stared around. Now what?

Miraculously, a kind student I had never met before was walk- ing by and asked me if I needed help, and that he had a brand new electric car starter kit in his car recently gifted to him by his mother. I thought, "Wow, it's all working out."

I stood by clueless while the student jump-started the car. Success! The car was started, he removed the kit, and dropped

KINDNESS GIVES the hood to shut it.

It's important to mention that I drove an older Toyota Corolla which requires the hood to be push-clicked into place, not a newer model where the hood clicks in automatically when dropped.

I took off for the highway, elat- ed that my minor car issues were solved so quickly. I inched towards 100km/h, and then came across a part of the high- way where there was a sudden incline.

Boom! Suddenly, the entire hood of the car flipped back- wards into the windshield, leaving windshield cracks and the entirety of my view was ob- scured. I hastily slammed on the brakes and put on the blinkers, turned the wheel and prayed that I was actually pulling over onto the side of the road and not into a car or the divider. On the car speakers, I distinctly remember listening to a recording of celestial hymns during this entire process.

I stopped the car and I sat there just shocked. Now what? I de- cided to get out of the car and look at the damage. The force of the hood lifting upward at that speed caused the hood to warp and turn convex. I tried to pull it back down and it would not budge. I looked at my phone and of course, it was dead. How was I going to contact my dad to solve this situation?

For the second time, God sent another saviour. A kind man had pulled over, laughingly told me he had only ever witnessed car hoods flying up like this in movies, and asked if I needed help. Of course, I graciously accepted. Together we managed to pull down the hood, and he pulled out a neon blue bungee rope to tie the hood down using the grill.

Before hopping back into the car, I turned to this kind stranger and tried to give him the cash I had in gratitude for how much he helped me. He waved the money away, saying that he just wanted to help, and that I can pay it forward by helping some- one else.

If I look back on my life, there are countless moments where God has allowed me to witness true kindness. It was God who took care of me each moment of this day and everyday. It was His virtue of kindness that was blossoming within these strang- ers who offered to help me. I always reflect on the lessons that I have learned during these tests of life. On this day, there are three. Firstly, to selflessly and enthusiastically help others. Secondly, to continuously share kindness onwards (the wise ad- vice given by my helper). Last- ly, never leave the house with the phone at 0%.

At the same time, parents at- tended the Teeyan event in Stanhope Gardens on 14th June 2026. The event provided a valuable opportunity to con- nect with a large and diverse group of people in a lively cul- tural setting. Throughout the day, parents shared the message of HKL through conversations, explaining its values of Humil- ity, Kindness, and Love, and inviting people to learn more about the movement.

The atmosphere at Teeyan was energetic and welcoming, which helped create many nat- ural conversations with attend- ees. As people gathered to cel- ebrate and enjoy the event, the HKL message was shared in a simple and meaningful way, al- lowing many to hear about it for HKL Volunteers at Rouse Hill Town Centre.

Youth shared in- formation about the weekly up- dates with the community and explained how these updates encourage us to reflect on our actions and continue to grow as individuals. As these practices help guide us to become more humble, more kind in our daily lives, and more loving towards others. Many people were inter- ested in this idea, as it showed that HKL is not only something we talk about, but something we actively practice every week.

Throughout the weekend, the outreach efforts created count- less opportunities to connect with members of the commu- nity and share the message of HKL.

One of the main attractions throughout the weekend was the spinning wheel, which drew the attention of many people passing by. The wheel includ- ed prizes and activities such as free chocolate, fun challenges, dance battles, and song battles. These activities created a fun and welcoming environment while helping people learn more about HKL and its message.

As the weekend continued, more and more people stopped by to take part. Whether they were joining a challenge, shar- ing a laugh during a dance battle, writing on the kindness board, or simply having a con- versation, every interaction helped spread the message of HKL in a genuine and memora- ble way.

Overall, the weekend was a great success. Through fun ac- tivities, deep conversations, and combined efforts of both youth and parents, many people were introduced to HKL for the first time.

An hour later I was nearly about to exit the stadium in "defeat" with my wagon of *"What's your product?" "My book"* when Ellen ran into me after returning back to the stadium. I was originally told by anoth- er person it wasn't possible for me to be a vendor. It was Ellen and a volunteer named Frances who helped secure a site for me after I finally did the rest of the necessary registration steps. "I knew we met for a reason," she said. And then it was an ad- ditional volunteer and RCMP officers who offered to help me raise my tent. (I came to the fes- tival all by myself.) It was also a volunteer named Kim who was so kind to have told me earlier that although I *couldn't* ven- dor that year, I should give my book to Alliance Philippines who teaches Tagalog to kids. It was Corrina's kindness that had her offer to put my book into their rotation for use for their classes.

Your dress is GORGEOUS," he said. "Well, you're gorgeous too but your dress is really nice. I think everyone could use com- pliments because it makes their day."

This was said to me by a pass- erby at the very end of the first day of the Pinoy Festival in Burnaby.

They loved the vibe of the fes- tival, along the lines of, "Ev- erybody here seems to be really receptive to the kindness!" My response, "Yeah! It's Filipino!"

"You know what? This is just so fitting," I said back to him after my thank you. "This tent here <pointing to mine> has been getting a lot of people dropping by saying nice things, back and forth, to each other."

Bayanihan is a foundational Filipino cultural concept repre- senting communal unity, team- work, and mutual aid. It's lov- ing, a very loving thing. Kapwa is a core Filipino value that translates to "shared identity" or “togetherness". If we are “one”, doesn't it make sense to be kind to those around you? I would want to feel good, so it would mean others around me should feel good too. Kindness brings that, and that feeling of good simply is the answer to their question, how did it- they― make me feel.

Good.

And happy :)

And when we're happy, we're more likely to multiply the good.

• RECIPE
• Serves 4
• Ingredients
• 3 ripe mangoes, peeled and pitted
• 2 cups sweetened condensed milk
• Juice of 1 lemon

1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen optional)

1/4 cup orange juice

4 tablespoons chopped pistachios

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the raspberries with the orange juice and let them marinate while you're preparing the mango mixture. Place the mangoes, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Divide half of the mango mixture evenly among four dessert dishes. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the marinated raspberries evenly over the mango layer, then top with the remaining mango mixture. Refrigerate for several hours, or until well-chilled.

Just before serving, garnish with the remaining raspberries and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.

This chilled mango dessert is an ideal antidote to the heat, combin- ing high-water-content fruits like mangoes and raspberries to keep you naturally hydrated and refreshed. From a nutritional standpoint, the dish is a powerhouse of vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, which support immune health and digestion. The ad- dition of pistachios provides heart-healthy fats and essential min- erals like potassium and magnesium to aid muscle function, while citrus juices offer a bright, tangy finish. However, while the natural fruit sugars and sweetened condensed milk provide a quick energy boost, the dessert's high sugar content is a notable drawback for those monitoring their intake so please eat moderately. Ultimately, its ability to be served cold makes it a soothing, nutrient-dense treat for summer gatherings, successfully balancing indulgence with functional health benefits.

Sugar Replacement Optional:

Condensed Milk With Evaporated Milk

For those who are watching their sugar intake try using Evaporated Milk instead! Because sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk are similar in consistency, evaporated milk is a great substitute for condensed milk. Downside is you won't get that sweet cara- mel flavour but luckily you have the option to adjust the amount of sugar in your recipe to make up for the lack of sweetness. A sugar

Book Recommended by Hannah Kaur CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA to again and again in each mowith my inner self. At times, it challenged me because it made me aware of how often the mind takes over. Yet, with every chapter, I felt a sense of calm- ness and clarity. I often found myself pausing after passages just to reflect, which made the experience grounding and more affirming.

What struck me most was that the present moment is all we truly have. It reminded me personally that humility comes from releasing the ego's need for control, kindness shows up more naturally when I am fully present with others, and love feels more genuine when I am not caught in my thoughts.

In a world filled with distrac- tions, worries about the future, and reflections on the past, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle offers a simple yet profound in- vitation: come back to the pres- ent moment.

For anyone seeking greater clar- ity, mindfulness, and spiritual growth, The Power of Now is a timeless read and a meaningful companion on the journey of living Humility, Kindness, and Love every day.

One of my biggest takeaways from The Power of Now was the realization that so much of The teachings of The Power of Now align deeply with Hu- mility, Kindness, and Love. In practice, humility arises when the ego quiets, kindness deep- ens when we are truly present with others, and love becomes a natural expression of awareness and connection.

It strengthened something I was our suffering comes from living already beginning to under- everywhere except the present moment. We spend so much time replaying the past or wor- rying about the future that we miss the gift of what is right in front of us. The book remind- ed me that peace already exists within us when we become ful- ly present.

I became more intentional about creating moments of stillness throughout my day, whether through meditation, mindful walks, or simply taking a con- scious breath before responding to situations.
