spirituality and
goodness of every human being and helps
people rediscover that goodness within
themselves, encouraging and facilitating the
development of spiritual awareness,
attitudes, behaviour and skills through a
process of lifelong learning. The
institution was established by the
incorporeal God Father through the human
medium of Prajapita Brahma. Inspired by
visions and subsequent revelations, he
surrendered his mind, body and wealth and
dedicated the remaining 33 years of his life
to this task. He envisioned people of all
cultural, economic and religious backgrounds
coming together to rediscover and develop
the spiritual dimension of their lives. With
God's help and company he delineated
fundamental principles necessary to restore
the world to peace, purity and prosperity.
In 1951 the Institution's world headquarters
moved to Mt Abu in Rajasthan, India, where
it remains to this day. Prajapita Brahma
left his mortal coil in 1969. Dadi
Prakashmaniji is the present Adm Head and
Janaki Dadiji is the additional adm head.
