Today we had a Ho’oponopono workshop at Brahma Kumaris Raj Yoga Center, Nairobi.
The sevaks were myself Monica assisted by Pratima and Laveena and my daughter Bhavna who handled the power point presentation from the projector room as the remote didn’t work.
We had 37 people attending the workshop which had been condensed to fit in 2 hours. The attendees were interactive and reciprocated well to the practical forgiveness exercises and we had some emotional moments as well, but we were well geared with our pack of tissues to help out with the teary eyes.
We had senior representatives from a few well known organizations amongst the attendees.
The session ended a few minutes past noon with a short talk and meditation conducted by BK Sr. Vedantiben : the All Africa in charge of the Brahma Kumaris.
She gave her gratitude to Kamal Tolia Ji for having given a talk about Ho’oponopono a few years ago and said that she had been practicing every day since then and encouraged others to practice it as well.
Thank you to Laveena Keswani and Pratima Dutt for being there. Pratima as usual was very helpful overall and also prompted me if I missed out something. That was so helpful.
Laveena helped with photography and conducted the exercise of asking forgiveness from Mother Earth and waters of the world flawlessly towards the end. Thank you so much.
I give gratitude for this seva opportunity.
Love and Light

Below is a message received from one of the attendees:
“Thanks Monica for inviting me to today’s talk. I am grateful to you. I know about Ho’oponopono and I did it with Kaka (Uncle) before I went to UK. I actually used to hold his hands and used to tell him I am sorry if I have hurt you, please forgive me, I love you for your guidance to me and I thank you. Then today, at the workshop, I felt good that I was said it to him while he was alive. It has convinced me to practice it even more.”
Ho’oponopono Workshop with Brahma Kumaris
The Lotus Healing Seva Group successfully conducted a Forgiveness Workshop titled Ho’oponopono at the Brahma Kumaris Raj Yoga Center, Nairobi on the 11th January 2024. The session held in the morning hours was attended by 37 members of the society as part of the 52 weeks of celebration marking the 50 years of Brahma Kumaris in Africa.
The speaker of the day Monica Gokaldas accompanied by two other members of LHSG Pratima Dutt and Laveena Keswani began with her expression of gratitude towards her Guru Kamal Tolia who had trained her to conduct this and several such workshops.
It was interesting but not surprising to see the attendees participating interactively and had several questions that were being answered simultaneously as they grasped the finer details of forgiveness and its significance in life. The practical forgiveness exercises saw through some emotional moments of people releasing their burden of unforgiving past situations. Nearly all participants mentioned that they felt lighter having asked for forgiveness and also haven forgiven.
The session ended with Sister Vedanti’s narration of her experience with Ho’oponopono that she learnt from Kamal Tolia during covid times followed by a short meditation. The participants were handed out the Ho’oponopono printout cards as they left.
The Lotus Healing Seva Group expresses its gratitude to and wishes the Brahma Kumaris Raj Yoga Center for having provided this opportunity to be part of their celebrations and to share their knowledge with others.
