Mahidol University International College’s (MUIC) Rajyoga Club (Student Group), in collaboration with the Brahma Kumaris Thailand, organized “The Awakening Seminar” with Sr. Gopi Patel at Seminar Room 1210, Building 1 on September 27, 2023. This seminar marked a historic International Day of Peace celebration. Despite concurrent events, a passionate team orchestrated this transformative experience for over 35 eager students.
Known for simplifying complex principles, Sr. Gopi introduced the interaction between the self, the divine energy, and life's events, emphasizing accessing the always-okay core self. The reflective journey to discover intrinsic virtues proved both profound and enjoyable. "A leader is not defined by extrinsic skills but by intrinsic virtues; between strategy and character, character always wins," emphasized Sr. Gopi.
As a caring guide, she imparted wisdom on early rising, proper sleep, and the power of journaling. Despite back-to-back seminars, Sr. Gopi dedicated time to nurturing students into spiritual leaders, instilling stability, strength, and smiles during challenging times.
Students’ feedback echoed the impact of her lecture. Navjot Kaur expressed that it was a deeply personal and transformative event: “I am a soul who is always okay, and I play a heroic part." Prajwal expressed deep gratitude, emphasizing Sr. Gopi's knowledge stemming from pure love for the Almighty. Thitiwat Chuayprasartwattana, a participant and staff member, praised Sr. Gopi's ability to articulate abstract concepts, making the event enlightening.
