The Brahma Kumaris is a spiritual movement founded in 1937 by Lekhraj Kripalani, known as Brahma Baba, in Hyderabad, Sindh (now Pakistan.) Headquartered at Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India, it focuses on meditation, self-transformation, and spiritual wisdom.
Originally called Om Mandali, it became the Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya, emphasizing Rajyoga meditation and a disciplined spiritual lifestyle. Led by women, it stands apart from many traditional religious institutions.
The Brahma Kumaris promote peace, purity, and self-realization, offering teachings on karma, soul consciousness, and world renewal. They run meditation centers globally, conducting courses, retreats, and humanitarian initiatives.
Their publications include The World Renewal (monthly magazine,) Purity (English magazine,) Gyanamrit (Hindī magazine,) and Om Shanti Media (fortnightly magazine.) Scholarly works include Liz Hodgkinson’s Peace and Purity: The Story of the Brahma Kumaris (1993) and Wendy Smith and Tamasin Ramsay’s Spreading Soul Consciousness (2019.)
