From Abu Dhabi to Dubai: Didi Krishna's message of growth and purpose inspires change
Following the highly successful Indiaspora Forum for Good (IFG) held in Abu Dhabi from February 23-25, where Indian diaspora leaders gathered to address humanity's most pressing challenges, one of the forum's most inspiring speakers has continued to captivate audiences across the UAE.
Didi Krishna, head of the Sadhu Vaswani Mission, delivered a powerful speech at IFG's closing plenary session last week on the central theme of 'goodness'. Present at the session were distinguished guests from across media and industry including Ajay Piramal, Kailash Satyarthi, Kris Gopalakrishnan, M.R. Rangaswami, and actor Vivek Oberoi, among others.
Didi Krishna shared complementary wisdom on achieving goodness through self-awareness, gratitude, forgiveness, love, and soul nourishment. Audience members expressed profound appreciation for Didi Krishna's practical approach to personal development. As the event concluded, several industry leaders were seen engaging with Didi Krishna, discussing how her principles could be applied within organisational contexts to foster more positive, productive environments.
Following IFG, Didi Krishna has come to Dubai to share her words of wisdom with this community as well. Didi Krishna most recently delivered a thought-provoking talk at the Dubai India Club on February 28th. The talk expanded on Didi Krishna's philosophy of personal empowerment and responsibility, offering practical guidance on how individuals can take control of their destinies rather than feeling at the mercy of circumstances.
"It is better to design your own destiny than to know what is going to happen to you, or to feel as if you do not have any control over your fate," Didi Krishna emphasised to an audience of over 700 people.
At the core of her presentation were six actionable strategies for personal transformation and growth. She advised attendees to be mindful of their thoughts, explaining how positive thinking attracts wellness while negative thoughts lead to illness and rob us of our natural state of happiness.
"With every thought we think, we are building the edifice of our lives," she noted, illustrating this concept with a compelling story about a tortoise and two circles that demonstrated how destiny is "not a matter of chance but of choice."
The talk continued with guidance on living in the present moment rather than dwelling on past regrets or future anxieties, connecting with inner sources of strength, letting go of emotional burdens through forgiveness, developing compassion by becoming "givers, helpers, and healers of humanity," and maintaining faith in life's journey.
