Kamal Tolia & Lotus Healing Seva Group

Seva No. 5. Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Our next seva was on 27th September. We were introduced to a shelter for the homeless a few kilometers away from the busy, bustling city of Madurai by Rashmeen’s friend Purni.

In 2004, a young man named Edison was moved at the sight of homeless people in town. He decided to make a meal for them. This philanthropic act did not stop there. He continued making meals for them every day. Soon the numbers increased to such an extent, that he could not cope alone. People started to donate to his feeding programme, but Edison soon realized that feeding them was not enough. They needed to be looked after in a bigger way …. And in a short time, Hands of Compassion Trust was born. A kind philanthropist donated his land with two sheds to this kind effort of Edison. Today, the Trust houses about 68 men, young and old, some physically and or mentally challenged. These are picked up from the streets and railway stations where they are found abandoned, uncared for and unloved.

Lotus Healing Seva Group set about sharing their Love and Light with these souls. In the open air, under the refreshing aura of a neem tree we gave Reiki healing to those who were able to walk to the tree. For those who could not walk, we went up to their shed, and once again, in the open air gave them a Reiki treatment. Some of us became emotional as our hearts filled with gratitude for the privilege of being a part of their lives even if for a couple of hours.

We also gave Reiki treatments to the founder of the home Edison, the main volunteer Bharathi, our drivers Tirupathi and Sabeer and our friend Purni. Bharathi was so impressed with the healing power of Reiki that he decided on the spot that he wanted to learn it. Accordingly, later in the day, Mamta and Kamal attuned him to Reiki level 1.

The LHSG Sevaks that did this seva were Kamini (India), Mala, Indu, Lekha, Bijan, Neha, Anita, Bharti, Vilas and Bharti (all from UK), and Rashmeen, Sheela, Baiju, Lata, Nalina, Mamta, Bubbles, Yatinder, Anuradha and Kamal (all from Kenya)

Mamta had this to say … ‘ Healing the old people at the Compassionate Hands Centre was an overwhelming experience. They felt great after the session and even came back asking for more hands on healing ……’

Do watch the pictures below which say it all and the video at the end …..

Tiruvannamalai Seva

On 23^rd September the Lotus Healing Seva Group Kenya, India, UK were privileged to give Reiki to the animals and teach Reiki to 5 people of the Arunachala Animal Shelter in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu. The Shelter was started by Leslie Robinson, initially to house the dog population of Tiruvannamalai that was going to be eradicated by the government. Over the years it has become a sanctuary and healing place for dogs, cats, monkeys birds and other animals. LHSG Reiki healers were Kamini (India), Mala, Indu, Lekha, Bijan, Neha, Anita, Bharti, Vilas and Bharti (all from UK), and Rashmeen, Sheela, Baiju, Lata, Nalina, Mamta, Bubbles, Yatinder, Anuradha and Kamal (all from Kenya).

The Lotus Group members walked around the yard blessing the over 160 dogs walking around, then on to the very sick dogs, a few cats and monkeys, in the inner enclosures to give hands on healing and beam Reiki to them.

For the Reiki training, a kennel was chosen! The dogs in the kennel were moved out and it was cleaned thoroughly. Then, with the background noisy barking of dogs, Mamta, Mala and Kamal set about teaching Dr R. Rajasekaran, Uma Eswaran, J Suguna, R. Raja and P Vishwanathan the first level of Reiki inside the kennel!

After they finished self healing, the new Reiki healers went to the very sick animals to give them Reiki healing. Dr. Raja said Reiki helped him diagnose the source of the problem in the dog he was healing!

Seeing the animals suffering so much touched our hearts, especially as they cannot express their feelings. Even as we gave Reiki to the animals, we said ‘Ho’oponopono to them and asked for their forgiveness. And we once again gave our thanks to the Universe for giving us yet another opportunity to share our Love and Light with these animals.

Before leaving, we donated INR 40000 to the Animal Shelter.

Please read Mamta’s account of this seva and do watch the photos and videos below.

Mamta …. The seva aspects of our trip were the perfect balance to complete and fulfill our Spiritual aspect of the trip. The Universe brought forward the perfect placesa dn opportunities! At the Arunachala Animal Shleter in Tiruvannamalai our group members healed the animals. We could feel the pain of some of the animlas that were very sick, injured and abused. 

Kamalji, Malaji and I taught 5 members of their staff Reiki 1 in a kennel! They were very good at it, and knew exactly when to move their hands i.e. when the Reiki was done! After the self healing session, Kamalji asked them to try Reiki on the sick animals. The results were amazing!. Dr. Raja actually diagnosed the problem of the dog based on the parts that were taking more Reiki

Mumbai Seva 3

On 17^th September, India member Kamini and I went to a Cow Shelter called Panjrapole in Mumbai. There were lots of cows, calves and a couple of bulls. They were in their sheds, with plenty of room to walk around in the yard. Also some birds, ducks, and rabbits that had been ill or hurt. These were in enclosures with a wire front. They are treated there and then released into their natural environment.

We blessed them with Reiki … fed the cows some grass, patted their heads and blessed them with Reiki too. As the Reiki flowed to them, the birds stopped their twittering, and more of them sort of lined up on their perches to receive, the sick ducks waddled to the front, the cows came forward and watched us expectantly….. no further proof needed that they loved the energy!

We even said Ho oponopono to the animlas, and on behalf of all humanity, we apologized to them, and by extension, to all animals on earth for the abuse, cruelty and neglect they have suffered. The number of cows in this shelter has increased to 5 fold since the ban on cow slaughter in Mumbai. We gave thanks to the Universe for the opportunity to love these animals.

Mumbai Seva No. 1

On Saturday 11^th September the Mumbai group consisting of Kamini, Kirti, and Palak, and the Kolkatta group consisting of Manisha, Arpita, and Priyanka, and I went to two centres: Vatsalya and the ‘Om Creations Trust’ in Mumbai. These centres are in the grounds of King George V Memorial grounds in Lower Parel.

Here the Om Creations Trust has a centre in which Down’s  Syndrome children and adults make art and craft articles for sale. The Vatsalya (Sanskrit for parental love) centre houses orphaned and street children. The Lotus Healing Seva Group gave individual Reiki healing to the children and adults of Down’s syndrome. They all felt very ‘good’ after the treatment. Then we gave mass healing to the other children. We also had a talk with them about their interests like football, cricket, etc.

We ended the visit by making a donation of INR 5000/= to the chairlady of the Trust and the Vatsalya Foundation, Swati Mukherjee. Swati asked us to extend the same Reiki healing to their centre in Mahim, another part of Mumbai.

And so it is that the LHSG India carried out its first 10^th Anniversary Seva by sharing their Love and Light with challenged and underprivileged children and adults.
