As an engineer at Mercedes-Benz, I’ve seen how workplace stress and negativity can drain us. But this retreat at Brahma Kumaris changed everything. From Amrit Vela meditations, real soul connections, to feeling the vibrant energy of the campus, and learning the power of soul and mind, I’ve found inner peace, strength, and clarity. It’s something every professional should experience.
I think it is very, very important. I really wanted my team also to come here and, you know, experience this. It would be really helpful. There’s a lot of negativity, I think, everywhere in the world, especially in the workplace. Also, there are people who will talk negative, like gossip, there is politics, people are not happy in their personal life also, and then they come together at work with this frustration—everything.
My name is Trishna Patil. I am basically from Nagpur. I work in Bangalore in Mercedes-Benz. I have almost five years of experience. I started as an engineer.
So, about how I came across this—I keep looking, and I used to watch the videos from BK Shivani. During my bad times, it really helped me a lot. So after coming here, I liked the didis, especially Sister Shivani. I would always see her on screen. I was so happy to see her in front of me. I mean, like, Didi Asha, Bala Bhai, and Deepa Didi—everyone, they are like angels. They are the face full of positivity, and they are so cheerful, so happy. You feel so good just by looking at them, you know, so affectionate they are.
I learned a lot from them. I am really, really grateful. They are doing a great job by spreading this knowledge, this great knowledge—spreading hope, wisdom, love, and peace around in this world. I mean, really kudos to them.
Though I was watching the videos online, after coming here, my experience was really, really outstanding. This campus has the energy— it is something else. It’s miraculous. The people working here are so cheerful, and you just feel so good. If you see the mountains, they are not so green, but if you see the campus, there is greenery all around. It’s because of the positivity, because of the energy.
I would really recommend everyone to come here and experience this positivity, this feeling. My highlight would be the meditation session—the early morning meditation session—and also the sessions we had in the last two days. Awesome. I have been meditating for quite some time, but I never had this kind of meditation experience. I felt so close to God. It was amazing.
Thank you to all sewadari brothers and sisters—everyone who made this possible. I would like to come here again. Yes, as I told you, I have been meditating for some time, but this information, this knowledge about how powerful we are, how powerful our soul is, how powerful our mind is—I wasn’t aware of this till now.
So, I think that is what I will be taking with me. There are some difficult times that test us, right? At that time, we need to be calm, we need to know how to handle things. I think that is something I will take with me and apply in my life.
Yeah, the food is simple but satvik, pure, and you can see the changes in your body. Within two days, your face is glowing, and you are happy. I think at least 50% of it is because of the food.
I feel there’s a lot of negativity everywhere in the world, especially in the workplace. People talk negative, they gossip, there is politics, and people are not happy in their personal lives. And then they come together, and there is frustration. So, I think it is very, very important. I really wanted my team also to come here and experience this. It would be really helpful.
Thank you.
