  • New York, NY (1888PressRelease) June 02, 2025 - In a stirring testament to the growing global hunger for inner peace and conscious living, over 1,000 spiritual seekers from the tri-state area—and as far away as Los Angeles and London—gathered at Manhattan’s iconic Marble Collegiate Church on May 28 for “Path to Peaceful Prosperity.” The evening was hosted by the Sadhu Vaswani Center for World Peace (SVCWP) and led by internationally respected spiritual teacher Didi Krishna Kumari.

    The venue carried deep historic significance. Sadu Vaswani’s founder and namesake, Dada J.P Vaswani, had deep admiration for Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, author of The Power of Positive Thinking. Keeping with Dada Vaswani’s core belief of interfaith harmony, the church, which served as a home to Dr. Peale, served as a symbol of Dada Vaswani’s teaching,” Many Paths, One Goal. “

    The program began with a warm welcome from television personalities Monica Vaswani (Family Karma) and Brian Benni (Winter House), setting a spirited and heartfelt tone.

    The evening soared musically with Grammy-nominated kirtan artist Krishna Das, who electrified the sanctuary with soul-stirring chants of “Om” and “Om Namah Shivaya,” prompting the audience to rise in collective devotion. The candle-lit space glowed with reverence and unity.
    A reflective shift followed as Grammy-winning artist and philanthropist Chandrika Tandon took the stage, sharing her personal journey and how the writings of Rev. Dada J. P. Vaswani served as a spiritual compass through life’s storms. She described the event as “a beacon of light for New York.”

    At the heart of the evening, Didi Krishna Kumari delivered an inspiring keynote address unveiling what she described as “the secret pathway to prosperity.” Redefining PEACE as “Prosperity Emanating As Conscious Expansion,” she broke down each letter into guiding principles—offering practical “soul tools” to unlock a life of purpose and abundance. Her address culminated in a ten-minute guided meditation designed to cultivate an “abundance mindset,” leaving the audience in peaceful contemplation. Attendees described the night as “a milestone for Indian spirituality in New York.”

    Among the notable attendees were senior Indiaspora leaders including Shoba Viswanathan, Shiv Khemka, Sunil Wadhwani, and Ramola Motwani; community figures such as Ranju and Ravi Batra, Sunil and Sharmila Sani; along with prominent filmmakers, physicians, artists, vegan ambassadors, authors, and interfaith leaders.

    The event was organized by Bridge Builders NYC, the dynamic youth wing of the Sadhu Vaswani Mission. The full 24-member SVCWP committee participated alongside their families, reflecting the community’s deep commitment to unity and service.
