A typical day starts with everyone starting to wake up between 3 am and 3.30 am. On getting ready, everyone assembles in a hall for Amritvela; the 4 am meditation. With hundreds of people on the campus but still there will be silence at this hour.

Accomodation, Food & Travel
To be accommodated for a short visit at one of the Brahma Kumaris campuses in Mount Abu you must be eligible for at least one of the following:
- You must have completed the basic 7 day Rajyoga Meditation course and must be associated with a BK centre for a period of at least 6 months before arrival.
- You can stay at the campus for the duration of a seminar or workshop held at the premises.
- Individuals and families are also welcome to the Brahma Kumaris provided they acquire a letter of authentication from their regional BK centre that they may be associated with.
Food directly has an impact on our mental health. Hence it is essential to care what we eat. The food served at the Brahma Kumaris is only vegetarian Satvik; i.e. filled with high energy vibrations. It is prepared whilst being in sweet remembrance of the ‘The Supreme Almighty’ and creating only high energy thoughts. It is called ‘Brahma Bhojan’. Thus the ready to eat food is high in energy that soothes the mind and heals the body.
It is prepared only by those practising Rajyoga Meditation. Once prepared, a small portion of the ready meal is first offered to ‘The Almighty’ and then mixed with the other food to be served to all. Hence there is a saying in the Holy Scriptures about the ‘Deities also long for Brahma Bhojan’.

Teachings and way of life
At the heart of the Brahma Kumaris teachings is the Foundation Course in Raja Yoga meditation. This course provides a practical understanding of the relationship between spirit and matter, as well as an understanding of the interplay between souls, God and the material world.
The series of classes in this course will facilitate your inward journey in an efficient and effective way. Learn about:
- consciousness and self-realisation
- connection and relationship with God
- the law of karma
- the cycle of time
- the Tree of Life
- a spiritual lifestyle
The lessons are offered in two parts:
- Part 1: offers the basic knowledge and practice of Raja Yoga meditation. This is for people who are interested in only learning how to meditate as a regular practice.
- Part 2: offers the teachings of Raja Yoga as a study. The teachings take the aspirant into the depths of universal truths. The goal of the teachings is to learn how to concentrate the mind and to discover the innermost core of the soul’s divinity. This is for people who want to exercise their own reason and judgment; who want to learn from the authority of their own experiences and sustain a lifestyle on a more elevated spiritual plane
There are four main pillars:
- Study – The daily study of spiritual knowledge gives nourishment to the soul to remove blind faith and to see events, situations and circumstance as opportunities to apply the teachings.
- Meditation – Meditation provides a direct connection to the Source, enabling the soul to draw power and build resilience and spiritual capacity.
- Practise virtues – The awareness of the self as a soul awakens the essential core of divine virtues, giving the inner strength to overcome negative self-beliefs and the freedom to be the authentic self.
- Serve – Being is seen as the basis for serving – bringing the virtues of the soul into whatever role one happens to be playing.
The journey towards self-realisation involves observing certain lifestyle disciplines, which are recommended and not imposed. Brahma Kumaris’ environments are nurtured by observing these disciplines.
Spiritual study and practice underpin an individual’s spiritual journey. It is the responsibility of each person to discern and choose what lifestyle disciplines they are ready to implement, and at whatever pace suits them.
The two main lifestyle disciplines observed are:
- Satwic (pure) diet: a vegetarian or vegan diet contributes to general well-being and helps develop clarity and concentration. No substance abuse, including not using any alcohol or tobacco.
- Celibacy is seen as the basis for cultivating a safe and pure way for people to be and live together. This choice can make people stronger in themselves, more autonomous and more self-confident. It liberates both genders from their over-reliance on each other and supports greater equality. The Brahma Kumaris view celibacy as fundamental to self-realisation and to recreating a loving relationship with God and to creating a culture of peace and non-violence.
No. This is a learning community in which all the participants are involved in a process of spiritual development. Each individual chooses what to take from the curriculum, according to their interest. It is an open learning environment, to which people from diverse backgrounds come, bringing with them the richness of their specialties. The level of commitment is a personal decision.
There is no specific dress code, although casual, modest dress is generally appropriate, when attending BK courses or activities. White is the preferred colour within the BK community, as it reflects the inner aspirations towards living a life of simplicity, purity, cleanliness and truth – qualities to which the practice of Raja Yoga meditation gives rise.
The Brahma Kumaris emphasises the importance of the ‘dharma’ element of religion – the inculcation of the universal principles, taught by God to humanity, for spiritual renewal and restoration. The purpose of ‘dharma’ is to recognise that spirituality is the key to bringing justice, peace and well-being to humanity.
Every soul, regardless of the religion, is spiritually moulded by his or her relationship with the Supreme, and their understanding and practice of faith and life experiences. The way forward is a return to the spirituality at the heart of the great faiths. In practical terms, this would mean living the highest ideals that faith inspires within souls – of love, compassion, truth and non-violence.
The Brahma Kumaris teachings are set within the context that the world is at a turning point at which a transformation of consciousness is taking place. One of the main teachings is that the tree of humanity has one seed, God, the Supreme Soul, who stays eternally full of all divine qualities. As children of the one Seed, human beings are one family. By making a subtle shift from an outer, material dependency to an inner, spiritual awareness, human beings realise their true selves and recognise the Source, God, and restore themselves to their original nature of peace, respect and love.
Raja Yoga meditation requires the individual to study spiritual knowledge. Understanding of the knowledge is essential to its practice and application. The aim of Raja Yoga is self-sovereignty and self-mastery and so it is important for the individual to be discerning on his or her spiritual journey. The process of learning is a simple one: listening to and understanding the teachings; contemplating and making sense of how to apply the teachings in life; inculcating the teachings and emerging the innate qualities into the awareness of the self; experiencing the meaning of insightful wisdom and deciding the quality of one’s actions.
The process begins at the personal level with a collective momentum building, and eventually leads to a shift from a world torn apart by anger, attachment, arrogance, greed and lust to a kinder, gentler world, with only the finest in human virtues – happiness, love, peace and purity.
The term ‘teacher’ is used for a person facilitating the process of taking an individual through the lessons of the Raja Yoga Meditation Course. The teacher’s role is more of a spiritual coach.
Funding
The Brahma Kumaris runs on voluntary contributions, both financial and in kind, from individuals who have benefited personally through its courses and activities. Brahma Kumaris students, inspired to serve others, choose to contribute regularly in support of the work, according to their means. There is no membership fee.
Funds from philanthropists, national or international agencies are sometimes received for humanitarian and environmental initiatives, in such fields as solar energy projects, health and education.
From its beginning, the work of Brahma Kumaris has been based on the principle that spiritual knowledge is a basic right of every human being. It was the founder’s (Brahma Baba’s) aim to provide opportunities for everyone to develop their own spiritual potential, without charge, regardless of age, gender, background or financial circumstances. This ethic is practised by all participating BK teachers and students.
Participation
All adults are welcome to participate in any activity of their choice. Informal open-house meetings and visits provide an opportunity for individuals to learn more about the organisation even before deciding to participate in any of the courses or activities at local centres. For many of the courses and programmes, prior registration is required.
Young people aged 16 and over may join group classes and activities. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by their parent/carer.
All Brahma Kumaris centres carry child-protection policies, in accordance with the laws of their respective countries and cities.
In general, anyone can benefit from Rajyoga Meditation. In case of any medical condition of the mind/ brain, prior consultation with the Rajyoga Teacher or a doctor is recommended. It is also important that you explain your medical condition before embarking on this journey and do not discontinue any medication without first consulting your doctor.
The organisation does not offer counselling at any of its centres, but spiritual guidance. It provides a wide range of courses in spiritual knowledge which the individuals are free to choose to take and practise.
History and Leadership
It was founded in 1930’s in Hyderabad, Sindh (now part of Pakistan, but at that time part of colonial India) by Brahma Baba, formerly known as Dada Lekhraj Kripalani, who had a series of visions depicting world transformation. In 1937, he formed a managing committee of eight young women and established an informal group that grew into the Brahma Kumaris of today.
For More information :- Journey
Dada Lekhraj was a successful and much-respected jeweller. In 1936, around the time when most people at his age start to plan their retirement, he actually entered into the most active and fascinating phase of his life. After a series of deep spiritual experiences and visions, he felt an extremely strong pull to give up his business and dedicate his time, energy and wealth to laying the foundations of what later would become the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University. He soon became known as Brahma Baba. He spent the rest of his life bringing people of all cultural, socio-economic and religious backgrounds together to rediscover and develop the spiritual dimensions of their personal lives and to integrate this into their world. He insisted that his role was that of a simple instrument and not that of a guru. He recognised God, the Being of Light, the Benevolent one, as the primary inspiration for Brahma Kumaris and their work. In May 1950 he moved with the other founding members from Karachi, Pakistan, to Mt. Abu in India, where he remained until his passing in 1969.
Organisation and Administration
When the founder, Brahma Baba, passed from this life in January of 1969, the leadership of the community continued under the wise guidance of the original group of young women, who came to be called “Dadis,” (senior sister in Hindi). This transition to leadership by the sisters was mandated by the founder, and it proved to be a deep and stable foundation, protecting the organization and preserving their sacred knowledge and practices in an ever-more-turbulent world.
Under their leadership the Brahma Kumaris grew to a million members at our world-wide centres in 120 countries, making it the largest spiritual organization in the world led by women. As the original Dadi’s became fewer in number, the sisters they had mentored stepped forward into positions of leadership, where they currently lead in India and in all regions of the world.
Brahma Kumaris means ‘daughters of Brahma’. Seminal to the vision of world renewal was the revelation of the important and prominent role of women as spiritual teachers. Brahma Baba correctly foresaw that core values based on traditionally feminine qualities – patience, tolerance, sacrifice, kindness and love – would increasingly become the foundation of progress in personal growth, human relations and the development of caring communities. To maintain the emphasis on this vital core of leadership, the organisation is named ‘Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya’, also known world- wide as ‘The Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University’
