India’s 80th Independence Day at Queens Borough Hall on August 20, 2026

The celebration of India’s 80th Independence Day at Queens Borough Hall on August 20, 2026, was a vibrant and memorable evening that brought together the Indian American community, local leaders, and residents from across Queens. Representing one of the borough’s largest and most influential communities, attendees proudly displayed the Indian tricolor and celebrated their rich cultural heritage through speeches, awards, cultural performances, and fellowship. The event highlighted the unity, strength, and significant contributions of the Indian American community to the economic, cultural, and social fabric of Queens and the United States.

 80th Anniversary of India’s Independence Day with a special Bharat Ko Janiye Quiz

The Consulate General of India in New York celebrated the 80th Anniversary of India’s Independence Day with a special Bharat Ko Janiye (BKJ) Quiz and commemorative event that brought together community leaders, dignitaries, and members of the Indian diaspora. Aromananda Foundation USA Inc. was honored to participate and proudly congratulates Dr. Meghna Soni, who was recognized as a BKJ Quiz winner by Hon. Binay Pradhan, Consul General of India in New York. The event was a wonderful celebration of India’s rich heritage, unity, cultural pride, and community spirit.

 Wellness Tuesday (Aug. 4^th, 2026) with Global Kids SYEP!

Aromananda Foundation was honored to facilitate an engaging Wellness Workshop for the Global Kids Summer Youth Employment Program students at William Cullen Bryant High School in Astoria, New York. It was a meaningful and interactive session where the teen students actively participated in hands-on wellness practices designed to help them pause, breathe, focus, and recharge. 

The students learned and practiced Box Breathing, also known as Square Breathing, a calming technique that helps reduce stress, improve focus, and bring balance to the mind and body. This powerful breathing method is also known to be used by Navy SEALs as a stress-reduction and focus-building practice.

Throughout the workshop, students explored the importance of mind-body wellness, mindfulness, stress management, posture, and healthy habits, especially while spending time on computers and working on their innovation projects. They also enjoyed a fun and thought-provoking “Color Game,” which challenged both their intellectual and emotional awareness. Although the game appeared simple at first, it encouraged the students to slow down, think deeply, and respond with focus and intention. The activity was very well received and brought wonderful energy, laughter, and reflection to the room.

It was truly inspiring to see these young leaders pause, breathe, recharge, and recognize that caring for their mental, emotional, and physical well-being is just as important as developing technical, creative, and leadership skills. This collaborative session with Divergent Team Builders reflected our shared commitment to “Wellness Without Barriers,” equipping students with simple, practical tools they can use every day to stay calm, focused, resilient, and empowered.
