FOUNDING FATHER AND MOTHER
Prajapita Brahma and Mateshwari Jagadamba
Dada Lekhraj Kripalani was a well-to-do diamond jeweller in Sindh. A series of divine
visions and spiritual revelations by the Supreme Soul transformed his life and he became
a spiritual leader and founding father of Brahma Kumaris in 1936 at the age of 60.
Mateshwari Jagadamba Saraswati was the first administrative leader who oversaw the
physical and spiritual care of all the members of the spiritual family. She was only 17
years of age when she joined the organisation but soon became the divine Mother
because of her exemplary virtues and skills.
Brahma Baba.s rock-hard faith, steadfast vision and an innate ability to cope with
challenges and change made him a natural leader who steered the fledgling institution
through difficult times. He was a visionary who conceptualised and set the pace for
worldwide service in his lifetime, which resulted in a groundswell of spiritual activities
abroad in the 1980s and 1990s.
Mateshwari Jagadamba explored, practised and exemplified each spiritual
principle and nurtured the original group of spiritual students with her amazing stock of
human and spiritual values. She epitomised the balance of feminine and masculine
qualities - tolerance, sacrifice, kindness, courage, determination and fearlessness - that
gave direction to the young women and men who are now spearheading the global
movement.
Brahma Baba foresaw women emerging as Shakti and leading spiritual and social
development with their innate qualities. Seventy years on, Brahma Baba.s vision and
practical wisdom have stood the test of time. The Brahma Kumaris have emerged as
global leaders in spiritual education. Mateshwari passed on in 1964 and Brahma Baba
left this corporeal world in 1969. Their spiritual legacy is carried on by the Dadis - senior
sisters - and an ever-growing global spiritual family.
Late Rajyogini Dadi Prakashmani, Former Chief of Brahma Kumaris
The Jewel of Light - that is what her name signifies. So does her life. A beacon of
spiritual enlightenment, Dadi Prakashmani was appointed Chief Administrative Head of
the Brahma Kumaris in 1969. Her boundless enthusiasm, generosity and unlimited vision
have helped guide the organisation in its tremendous global growth. For her, leading
this global institution is like being a guardian to a global family. She has served on a
number of international committees, hosted a series of global conferences and
received various honours and medals - the UN Peace Medal and an honorary
doctorate to name a few.
She attained an Angelic life on 25th August, 2007 and passed her responsibility to
Rajyogini Dadi Janki ji, present Chief of Brahma Kumaris and to Rajyogini Dadi Hridaya
Mohini ji, Addl. Chief of Brahma Kumaris.
Rajyogini Dadi Janki, Chief of Brahma Kumaris
mine of wisdom and compassion, Dadi Janki seems to live beyond the time-space
barrier as she tirelessly travels from one country to the other, offering insights and
inspiration to millions of people. After establishing numerous centres throughout India, in
1974 she established the first BK centre outside India, in London. Today, she co-ordinates
the overseas BK centres in 110 countries. She has presided over numerous international
conferences and engaged with leaders from various fields. She is one of the ten
wisdom keepers of the world nominated by the World Parliament of Religions, and also
the President of Janki Foundation for health care.
Rajyogini Dadi Hirdaya Mohini, Addl. Chief of Brahma Kumaris
Also lovingly known as Dadi Gulzar, she joined Brahma Kumaris at the tender age of
eight. Her spiritual charm derives from innocence, clarity of wisdom and her firm
conviction in spiritual truths. She offers simple practical tips to guide spiritual seekers all
over the world and spreads lightness and love with her presence and words. From an
early age she had divine visions of a future world that is characterised by peace,
prosperity and harmony. She is the Director of BK centres in Delhi and chairs the
activities of several service arms at the headquarters.
