Guyanese Cook-Up Rice

Retired Dade County school teacher. Took spiritual and Lokik birth in Guyana .

I was drawn to Brahma Kumaris by the “Million minutes of Peace Initiative” because of my desire to make myself a better person and also help to make the world a better place.

My spiritual journey over the past 28 years has been a steady one with minor hiccups on the way.

When I migrated to the USA in 1994, I was very happy to find a center in Miami where I could continue my spiritual studies and be part of a beautiful spiritual family with a wise and loving teacher.
