Brahma Baba
Perhaps few organizations have stimulated as much change and discussion at the time of
their inception, or have undergone such expansion in succeeding decades, as the
Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University
Brahma Baba, founder of Brahma Kumaris, was born into a humble home as Lekhraj Kripilani in 1876,
and was the son of a village schoolmaster. After retirement, one day, while in a
meditative state Brahma Baba felt a warm flow of energy surrounding him, filling him
with light and exposing him to a series of powerful visions. These visions continued
periodically over several months. They gave him new insights into the innate qualities
of human souls, revealed the mysterious entity of God and described the process of world
transformation. The intensity of the messages conveyed by the visions was such that Brahma
Baba felt compelled to wrap up his worldly business and devote himself to understanding
the significance and application of this revealed knowledge. Although the visions ceased,
their Source remained with him for the next 3 decades, guiding his transformation as well
as that of those around him.
