History

The Formal Establishment of the Institution

In October 1937, the institution Prajapita Brahmakumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya was formally established. A spiritual trust was constituted of a committee of nine young women with Om Radhe as the head. Om Radhe took charge of administering the institution and became the leading teacher. Dada, now called Prajapita Brahma, gave away the entirety of his worldly wealth and property to the trust committee. Never before, in the history of the world had any male surrendered all his belongings to a trust, constituted only of ladies. Nowhere had women been given such an honour, as here, to head and run a spiritual organisation. He gave charge of all the institution’s affairs into the hands of the dedicated women. His sole task now was faithfully to fulfill the role of being God’s medium, and to take responsibility for being a complete example of surrender to the will of the Highest.

Om Radhe operated the institution on the day-to-day basis, applying the Godly principles of economy and simplicity. She remained detached in her role as administrator, employing her own well developed powers of judgment and discrimination, combined with her own innate gentleness and sense of co-operation. She herself always remembered that it was God’s work she was performing, not her own. The knowledge which she taught to others, and on the basis of which she had attained her personal fulfillment, was given directly by the Supreme and she was only His instrument. Her duty was to be ever obedient to God’s wishes.
