The 18th Hindu Mandir Empowerment Council Conference (HMEC 2025) and 12th Hindu Mandir Priests’ Conference (HMPC 2025) were held at DFW Ekta Mandir, Irving (Dallas, Texas) from September 12th to 14th, 2025. Supported by 19 sponsors and participation from over 67 organizations, the event reflected the unity and strength of the global Hindu community.
The conference featured nine sessions, 54 panelists, and 12 moderators. Sister Ranjan from Brahma Kumaris was invited to light the lamp each morning and shared insights on returning to our Original Deity Religion and attaining the Satopradhan stage through inner transformation and community service.
VHPA President Tejal Shah highlighted that Mandirs are centers of faith, knowledge, compassion, and unity. The Keynote Speakers included Swami Svatmananda ji, who emphasized unity and Vedantic wisdom, and Swami Bhakta Rakshaka ji from South America, who spoke on consciousness in the age of AI.
Prominent attendees included Dr. Romesh Japra, a noted philanthropist and founder of Americans4Hindus. At the closing ceremony, the organizers honored Sister Ranjan with a Certificate of Gratitude for the Brahma Kumaris community’s contributions. BK members also served at the booth and sponsored lunch, spreading peace and spiritual energy throughout the event.
The Brahma Kumaris’ active involvement added a divine touch of service, unity, and spiritual empowerment to this significant global gathering.
