Plant a Tree. Plant forgiveness. Plant peace. Plant Love.
Lotus Healing Seva Group has been planting trees in our own special way, using Reiki, Ho’oponopono Forgiveness and our Hindu mantras, since 2012. In October last year, we were approached by the head of the Brahma Kumaris Foundation Sr Vedanti and by Sr Pratibha to join them in their celebration of 50 years in Africa, by holding our own workshops / talks at their Raj Yoga Centre in Nairobi.
One of the three events we chose to have there was Tree Planting in our own unique and special way. This was done on 8th June 2024. It consisted of first of all, talking about Global warming, and the importance of trees to offset it, followed by discussing the steps to planting a tree the Sattvic way, with Reiki, forgiveness and the Mantras of Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, and Vraksha Rakshati Rakshitaha. Next came the demonstration and the actual planting.
A mint plant and a lavender plant were used for the planting, which was done in pots. These were later presented to the Brahma Kumaris sisters. After the planting, I took them through a meditation to charge our waters with positive vibrations. Each person that attended the event was given a paper detailing the steps to be carried out, and a plant of each kind to take home.
I was joined in this seva by our LHSG members Monica Gokaldas (Founder Member), Anuradha Nath, Harleen Gokaldas, Prafulla Ganatra and Laxmi Velani. We were joined by our LHSG Mukuru Outeach Kenya Academy Members Head Teacher Enock Nyanganga, Vice Head Teacher Vincent Muema, and LHSG Youth members Emmanuel De’junior, Valentine Mudash and Cyprene Baraka.
Many thanks to Sr Vedanti and the sisters of the Brahma Kumari Organisation for lending us the use of their centre, and many thanks also to my Group members for all their help at the event.
Love and Light to all.
