Anniversary of the Founder: Brahma Baba

Brahma Baba, born into a humble home as Lekhraj Kripilani in 1876, is recognised as the founder of the Brahma Kumaris, a spiritual movement which began in 1936 in Hyderabad, Sindh (now part of Pakistan).

At the age of 60, while in a meditative state, Brahma Baba felt himself surrounded by an energy, which filled him with light. The Brahma Kumaris believe that over several months, Brahma Baba received a series of powerful visions, giving new insights into the innate qualities of the human soul, revealing the Supreme Soul and explaining the process of world transformation.

Brahma Baba passed away on 18 January, 1969, at the age of 93. Each year this date is celebrated by Brahma Kumaris worldwide, as a day of silence, meditation and deep appreciation of the Founder.
