GREAT BAY--At a time when many people are navigating stress, uncertainty, and the demands of modern life, internationally respected humanitarian leader, author, and speaker Didi Krishna will visit St. Maarten to share a message of hope, resilience, and personal transformation through her presentation, “Choose Happiness.”
Hosted by the Indian Merchants Association (IMA) and the Sadhu Vaswani Center St. Maarten, the free public event will take place on Thursday, June 25, at Port St. Maarten (Harbor). Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Guests are requested to be seated by 6:15 p.m., and the program will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m.
The theme of her St. Maarten presentation, “Choose Happiness,” reflects a philosophy Didi Krishna has shared around the world: that happiness is not determined by circumstances, but by how individuals choose to respond to them. Through practical wisdom and relatable insights, Didi encourages people to cultivate inner peace, strengthen relationships, and live with greater awareness and purpose.
While Didi Krishna's message has reached audiences across the globe, its relevance is universal. In St. Maarten, where people from many cultures, faiths, and backgrounds live and work together, her message of choosing happiness through gratitude, service, and human connection offers a timely reminder of the values that strengthen communities and bring people together.
“St. Maarten has shown remarkable resilience through the years. Whether recovering from hurricanes, navigating economic uncertainty, or simply balancing the demands of everyday life, our community understands the importance of hope and perseverance,” said Nita Nandwani on behalf of the organizers.
“Didi Krishna's message reminds us that happiness is not something we find after our challenges disappear; it is something we can cultivate through gratitude, compassion, and service to others. We are pleased to welcome her to our island and share that message with the wider community.”
Organizers emphasize that the event is open to everyone, regardless of faith, background, or age, and is intended as an opportunity for personal reflection, inspiration, and community connection.
