MS BOTHAINA KAMEL

MS BOTHAINA KAMEL: First female Presidential Candidate from Egypt: I am very happy Guruji to be with you, and I hope we can start with a hope prayer for Egypt, which is going through a lot of violence today. I know you love Egypt very much.

GURUDEV SRI SRI RAVI SHANKAR: Correct, you are right. Egypt is a part of our society, our world and part of our family; and we all are concerned about the violence, the struggle that’s going on in Egypt. One good thing about what is happening there is that people are waking up; another thing is that it could have happened without violence, been a peaceful revolution. For this, we need to educate both, the politicians and the common masses. You know changes cannot happen overnight, we need to pursue it with patience and with determination.

    Writing Egypt’s history, with revolution in her DNA

    CAIRO, Egypt — The room at TEDx Tanta is dark, packed, waiting.The announcer singsongs the name of Bothaina Kamel and as the crowd erupts, she steps from her front-row seat onto the carpeted stage with a flourish. Her gauzy, zebra-striped tunic is from India and her shoes from Kenya; her nails are manicured but without polish. 

    “We have to dream,” Kamel tells the audience, a broad smile across her face.

    She lives by her word – a dreamer at the highest level, Kamel now claims the title of the first female to ever throw her hat into the ring for an Egyptian presidential election.
