—————————————————

It was a successful event with 21 people attending. The sevaks were : LHSG Members Laveena Keswani, Prafulla Ji Ganatra, Pratima Dutt, Shariffa Keshavjee and myself, Monica Gokaldas, and our Reiki level 2 healers Shila   Abhilasha Tak.

From the 21 people only 4 knew and had had previous experience of Reiki and the rest had no clue about what Reiki meant or did. To my surprise and pleasure the 4 who knew about Reiki knew it because of LHSG and Kamal Ji and I too know them personally.

Everyone had excellent feedback though we were all busy taking out pictures or videos to record that. However, Abhilasha sprung into action at some point and clicked videos. Thank you Abhilasha.

Some of them showed keenness to learn Reiki and the Gymkhana management said they would organize for a training session and notify us.

The arrangements were done well by the club and they served freshly made refreshments (bhajias, spring rolls and chai) for everyone.

Pratima played the role of registrations, taking in healing requests, names of people interested in learning as well giving healing. Each of us were busy till 11.45 pm and then had refreshments as I interacted with those who wanted to speak to me.

My big gratitude to Prafulla Ji for the concept of this event, to Kamal ji for passing over this task to me, to Nairobi Gymkhana for organizing, to Pratima, Shariffa, Shila, Laveena and Abhilasha for all their support and time.

Love and Light

The first session of Reiki Level 2 for the Sparsh Foundation volunteers was held on 30th September. It went very well. I had 5 ladies for the class and they were all lovely and enthusiastic students. We started with prayers and sharing of experiences. They were taught the powerful Reiki 2 symbols which they learnt quickly and then they were attuned. They had lovely experiences during the attunement and said that they felt they were somewhere far away and took time to come back. Felt calm, relaxed and some tingling in the body. They did self-healing with the symbols and felt their Reiki had become stronger. Then we did distant healing for some people.

The second session of Reiki 2 for Sparsh volunteers held on 7th October, went very well too. The 5 ladies learnt more about distant healing and practices with symbols. They were happy to make their Reiki envelopes and to know the power of group healing.

It was a lovely class and it was my pleasure to teach them Reiki level 2.

I am grateful for this seva opportunity.

LHSG 19th Anniversary Events Seva No. 4

Jaisalmer is a beautiful city in the Rajasthan desert of India. It is called ‘yellow city’ after the lovely golden granite found in plenty there. Like many of the places in Rajasthan, it is also a city of the royal’s descendants.

But sadly, it is also the place where many Hindu refugees from Pakistan come to stay. The conditions are very harsh, with very little water, and not much of a shelter. But, to the refugees who have had to leave due to religious persecution, it is heaven!

I came to know of one such Refugee camp. It is in a sandy and dry place, with little to no vegetation, giving it a drab and dreary look. I decided that planting trees was just what was needed to give a green face up lift to the place.   

Accordingly, I visited this camp in early October this year. And as I have done in Delhi, I involved the beautiful children. I first went through the steps of planting the LHSG way by asking forgiveness from Mother Earth, followed by chanting our Hindu Mantras when watering the tree and blessing it.

Keeping in mind the scarcity of water, only 20 such trees were planted around the area. They were Shisham (Indian Rosewood), Karanj (Indian Beech), Mollshree (Spanish Cherry), Lemon and Anar (Pomegranate) trees.

This whole activity was possible due to the unrelenting efforts of Hariomji Sahoo, the overseer of this camp, and to Rajaramji who did all the leg work. I am very grateful to them and to God for giving me this yet another opportunity to bring a little love and light in the lives of the needy and helpless. 

Plans are underway to teach Reiki to the adults and children in the camp.

Please do watch the video below.

LHSG 19th Anniversary Events Seva No. 3

Forty Reiki level 2 children healers + the 30 new Reiki children healers, that had been trained just yesterday, boarded a bus on 1st October 2024. Their destination was The National Zoological Park in Delhi. It was all excitement as they walked the huge grounds, seeing animals in their semi natural environments, many of which they were seeing for the first time!

But of course, they did more than just observe the animals. All the animals, deers, ostriches, different birds, crocodiles, an African elephant too, and the very rare white Bengal Tiger, all received more than their food that morning as the children actually lifted their hands and Reiki blessed each animal! In this way, once more, even as they enjoyed, they learned to give and give for others’ good!

After the seva, they all ate their lunch which they had brought with them. The whole outing was a huge treat for our Hindu Refugee children.

Many thanks go to our LHSG India member Vikram Lalvani, a Hindu Refugee himself, who is also their teacher, for planning this trip and carrying it out perfectly!

Love and Light to all!!
