History

Shifting to Mount Abu

In August, 1947, India was partitioned and Pakistan came into existence. For a couple of years, the sisters and brothers of the institution did some spiritual service to the people of Pakistan. They wrote letters of spiritual knowledge to Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Liaquat Ali Khan and other leaders and distributed thousands of books to the people in that country. They asked them to make that country morally clean in accordance with the meaning of the word 'Pakistan' (Pak means pure). They invited them to have Godly inheritance of Purity and Peace and not to shed blood. The government of Pakistan appreciated the message of Purity but the whole country was in a disturbed state and there was influx of refugees and the attention of the people was not towards God or spiritual values.

Much later after the partition, the institution shifted to India in 1950. It selected Mount Abu as it is a quiet place, a hill resort, a pilgrimage and a small city of lakes, suitable for deep meditation experiences and for imparting these teachings to others. They had undergone intense spiritual training and were now ready to share knowledge and experience with others. These people had discovered that blame and praise, victory or defeat, gain and loss, hunger and thirst, heat and cold, poverty and prosperity, all the pairs of opposites, are merely tests which would come to everyone. Through remembrance of God and limitless faith, one can meet all the situations with a smiling face.

It is to be noted that the local Pakistani people, including some leaders, tried to dissuade the institution from leaving Pakistan. “We will give you better facilities”, they said. “You will not experience any unhappiness here Why are you going away then? If you stay here, there will not be any unholy acts done in this country. We will take care of all of you in every way. You are of God; you have no connection with the politics of the Hindu or the Muslim”. But the institution had the Godly command to go to India and so they moved to Mount Abu in India.
