“A Healthy Mind, A Healthy Planet” at Deree, The American College of Greece

A public event was organized by the Brahma Kumaris in Athens and hosted by Deree, The American College of Greece, on May 21st. Speaker BK Golo Pilz, who has co-ordinated the design and construction of India One, a 1 MW solar thermal power plant, gave a presentation on the project that has established the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University as one of the major users of renewable energies in India.

BK Golo raised awareness of the importance of supporting the use of solar energy as one that has zero negative impact on the planet. Along with that he made the connection between the state of our inner world and the condition of the planet. With an easy-to-understand language, he used the scientific approach and examples from positive psychology experiments to prove the impact our thoughts have on the world, and how our thoughts are responsible for creating the reality we experience around us.

He spoke about the power of the sub-conscious mind, how it rules our world (being 90% responsible for our decisions), and how meditation can help us create new neuron pathways in the brain to create the reality we want to experience. Forty people attended the program and had the chance to raise their questions on the topic at the end. The program finished with a meditation commentary by BK Golo on experiencing inner peace and radiating that to the world.
