You will find out the recent appreciations and congratulations received by our Halton Sahaja Yogis Volunteers from Burlington’s MP Karina Gould and on behalf of the Prime Minister and the Canadian Government for Continuous Community Engagement

In the photo above is Kassandra who joined the “Sahaja Yoga Meditation Day” Proclamation & Flag Raising Ceremony on May 5, 2026 in Veteran’s Square of Burlington. Kassandra came on behalf of Karina Gould – PM of Burlington to congratulate the Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network of Halton volunteers for this another milestone in their uninterrupted 21 years of community service.

It was not the first time when we crossed paths with Kassandra, as she joined in 2025 our 1st Burlington City’s “Sahaja Yoga Meditation Day” Proclamation and Flag Raising Ceremony at the Burlington City Hall – when we also received from MP Karina Gould a beautiful scroll.

We realized that we have not shared such details in the past, so we will use this article to share the Kassandra’s speeches as well the beautiful felicitations received in person from Honorable Karina Gould, also from the time he was a Minister in the Canadian Government and Head of.

Definitely our team should rejoice those moments and why not share photos and video-clips from several great events we enjoyed here in Burlington among its community members and representatives, as well the larger lovely community of volunteers.

We had the pleasure of knowing Karina Gould since when she was a young politician committed to serve Burlington, and we welcomed her to our sahaja yoga meditation classes and events, where she experienced first hand the beautiful inspiring moments brought to hearts and minds by our team of genuine Cultivators of Joy volunteers based here in Burlington.

It was amazing to watch the evolution of MP Karina Gould to become a minister in the Canadian Government, holding key positions including becoming the Leader of the Government in the House of Common, yet she always found time for Burlington and for our team of volunteers; we are very grateful for her continuous support and encouragement.

Enjoy a few photos from the most recent events, when we had the pleasure of welcoming the MP Karina Gould to our popular annual Festivals in Burlington – always free and open to all to attend – that our team of volunteers created for our community.

Did you know?! In 2015 we launched the “R.A.I.N. to HEAL M.E. – Mother Earth” community initiative brought to schools and communities across the Halton region and beyond, but it started here in Burlington.

    Perhaps this is the only way for global peace, because there will be no change as long as the people themselves, at all social levels and hierarchies, do not act as ambassadors of spiritual light. It is extraordinary that politicians in Canada follow and support Sahaja Yoga meditation; this should be a model for the entire world. Congratulations to the Sahaja Yoga Burlington volunteer team!

    Incredible feeling to recollect wonderful moments in our community! There is a pure love rippling through the efforts of 100 seeds of joy for unity and connection. Great to witness and have meditated with the honourable Karina Gould, aa well as, our beloved Mayor Marianne Meed-Ward. Grateful for the acknowledgements and achievements in harmony with community leaders that care. I have witnessed such a wide diversity of beautiful souls coming together as well as reaching out to help others achieve that yoga connection and feeling of inner peace. I have felt a healing from inside and a steadiness. I have experienced and witnessed transformation. It is to be our best self, our higher self, to be balanced and nourished on every level.
