Deepak chopra children

It is with a sad heart today that I write this blog. My brother, Gotham Chopra , and my father, Deepak Chopra , have both written beautiful articles remembering our friend, Michael Jackson.

I debated writing something or not, and in the end decided to write for my own healing process. My brother and I had a magical childhood, and much of this was because of Michael. Eating meals with Michael in those days — almost 20 years ago now — was always an experience. He would start humming a tune and then excuse himself. When he came back, he would giggle with delight, explaining how music just came to him and he had to record it to save what came, he always said, came from some place else.

Every moment we were with Michael, I would be utterly comfortable and utterly in awe at the same time.

My relationship with Michael was very different from that of my father and brothers. Michael and I shared an absolute love for children, and his heart cried about the pain children around the world faced. One day, while chatting with him about his upcoming Super Bowl performance, Michael was brainstorming how he could use the worldwide exposure for a greater cause, and the Heal The World Foundation was born.

My first job, after graduating from college, was to launch the foundation with a small team. I was so proud of the work we did in that short time, only to find that our good intentions came to a halt when Michael was accused the first time of child molestation. Over night, understandably so, non-profits backed away from our efforts and we quietly closed shop.

My family always maintained our belief that Michael was innocent in both cases — for those that were close to Michael, all would admit he was quirky and had bad judgment at times.
