This is a short overview of some of the several welfare and relief activities conducted by the Lotus Healing Seva Group within Kenya. This article was published in the Selfless Service Booklet published by the Hindu Council of Kenya that was presented to the President of Kenya H.E. Mr. William Samoei Ruto by the Chairperson of HCK Mrs. Sujata Kotamraju. The booklet highlighted the various charitable, noble and selfless services and activities undertaken by the Hindu Community at large via the several Hindu organizations in the country.

This article however narrates only a limited set of activities of LHSG as the group has in it’s 19 years of existence empowered and healed uncountable number of Kenyans, Indians, Pakistanis, Europeans to mention a few through Reiki therapies, training, tree planting and Forgiveness workshops. Not only has the group helped cancer patients, orphans and elderly people, it has also trained people to the art of Self Healing, helped relieve people of Grief Trauma, fears, relationship challenges it has also stood up in times of crisis and national or international causes such as wars and terrorist attacks. The free reiki healing is a popular activity of the group and many have benefitted till date.

I had the privilege of compiling and editing the booklet on behalf of the Hindu Council of Kenya and proudly present the LHSG section here for my readers.
