Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya (fondly knows as Brahma Kumaris) was founded in India in 1936 by The Incorporeal Supreme God Father, through the corporeal medium of Brahma Baba and has its international headquarters in Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India. Brahma Kumaris services outside India began in 1971 and now comprises a worldwide network of centers in over 130 countries in 5 continents. More than one million individuals are associated with it worldwide, practising meditation and leading a spiritual, non-violent and pure lifestyle. It provides spiritual education and reflective practices for people from diverse cultural backgrounds, inspiring them to live according to their own higher consciousness and contribute towards a better world.

To visit the Brahma Kumaris in Mt Abu, the closest railway station is Abu Road. The Brahma Kumaris are spread over campuses. Pandav Bhawan and Gyan Sarovar – Academy For a Better World are on the Mount. Shantivan, on the other hand, is on Abu Road, 20 minutes drive from the railway station.

You can get a free ride to Shantivan from the station. There are buses available to drop you at Shantivan at no cost. You will find a BK volunteer at the station. If not, you can contact the Brahma Kumaris counter at the station on platform number one.

On your return, to be dropped off at the station, an arrangement can be made at the ‘Transport Office’ in Shantivan at an extra cost.

If you are driving, you will have to enter ‘Shantivan Complex, Abu Road, Rajasthan – 307510’ on the map and follow the directions. However, to enter any of the 3 premises you will be required to produce a letter from a BK center that you may be associated with; this is mandatory.

There are no direct flights that reach Abu road. You will have to take a flight to another city in Rajasthan or Ahmedabad in Gujarat and then drive down to Abu Road from the airport.

All Brahma Kumaris courses are offered completely free of charge because spiritual knowledge is considered the birthright of every soul — a divine gift that should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances.

According to Brahma Kumaris teachings, God Shiva (Shiv Baba) is the Supreme Father of all souls. Just as a loving parent shares wisdom and care with every child, God shares His spiritual knowledge, love and power with all His children equally.

From the very beginning, Prajapita Brahma Baba established the principle that spiritual knowledge should be shared freely as a form of selfless service (Seva). Every individual deserves the opportunity to discover their true self, experience God's love and develop their spiritual potential.

The Avyakt Murlis describe spiritual knowledge, virtues and powers as priceless treasures received from God, which we are encouraged to share generously with others.

How are these free services supported? Brahma Kumaris operates through voluntary contributions from students and well-wishers who wish to support this spiritual service. There are no course fees, membership charges or compulsory donations.

You are warmly welcome to begin the free 7-Day Rajyoga Meditation Course at your nearest Brahma Kumaris center.

The beautiful principle is simple: Spiritual wisdom is God's gift to every soul, and sharing it with love is a form of service.

Brahma Kumaris is a worldwide spiritual organisation dedicated to self-transformation, Rajyoga Meditation and world peace. It welcomes people from all religions, cultures and backgrounds to explore spiritual wisdom, experience inner peace and develop a loving connection with God, the Supreme Soul.

The word “cult” is sometimes used when people have concerns about spiritual organisations, particularly regarding personal freedom, pressure, strict beliefs or relationships with family and society. These are important questions, and we believe everyone deserves clear, open and respectful answers.

Brahma Kumaris encourages spiritual learning through understanding, personal experience and individual choice. Its teachings aim to help individuals become masters of their thoughts, feelings and actions — a state known as self-sovereignty.

What should you know before exploring Brahma Kumaris?

• Freedom to Learn and Question: Anyone can attend the free 7-Day Rajyoga Meditation Course, ask questions, reflect on the teachings and decide whether to continue. The aim is to develop understanding and personal spiritual experience.
• No Religious conflict: Brahma Kumaris welcomes people from all faiths. Learning Rajyoga does not require you to change your religion. Its teachings offer a distinct understanding of the soul, God Shiva, karma and the cycle of time, which you are welcome to explore and understand.
• Personal Choice in Lifestyle: Practices such as vegetarianism, celibacy, daily meditation and spiritual study are important disciplines of the BK way of life. They are recommended rather than imposed. Individuals are encouraged to understand their significance and make informed decisions about their level of commitment.
• Family and Professional Responsibilities: Many BK students continue their family lives, careers and everyday responsibilities while practising Rajyoga. Spirituality encourages love, respect, understanding and responsible relationships. Deeper lifestyle commitments, particularly celibacy, deserve thoughtful consideration and mutual understanding within families.
• No Membership Fees or Compulsory Donations: All meditation courses and spiritual classes are free. The organisation is supported by voluntary contributions from students and well-wishers, according to their willingness and capacity.
• Freedom to Decide Your Involvement: You can explore the teachings without becoming a regular student or making a long-term commitment. Your decision to continue, deepen your practice or discontinue attending remains your own.

What does Brahma Kumaris actually encourage?

At the heart of Brahma Kumaris philosophy is the understanding that every human being is an eternal soul, originally filled with peace, purity, love and happiness.

Through Rajyoga Meditation, spiritual study and the practice of divine virtues, we learn to overcome anger, ego, fear and attachment, while developing self-respect, discernment, compassion and inner freedom.

The purpose of spiritual education is to help individuals think clearly, make conscious choices, develop a loving relationship with God and bring positive change into their everyday lives.

Still have questions or concerns?

We warmly encourage you to explore, question and understand before making any decision.

If you have heard something that concerns you, or have questions about the teachings, lifestyle, relationships, finances or expectations of regular students, you are welcome to seek clarification.

You can visit your nearest Brahma Kumaris center, speak personally with a Rajyoga teacher or send your questions through the official website.

Take your time, consider how the teachings relate to your circumstances, and make your own informed choices.

You are welcome to learn, reflect and experience Rajyoga without pressure to make an immediate commitment.
