The spiritual organisation led by, run by and comprising a majority of women, is unquestionably an inspiration and an encouragement to women all over the world. What started out as a team of no more than 50 spiritual workers in 1936, today, has risen to international fame with more than 8500 centres in India and across 130 nations of the world. The founder of this organisation strongly believed in women’s strength, capabilities, and their role in transforming the world. He began to respect, to uplift and educate women to be leaders, by imbibing in them the virtues of goddesses. He has illustrated, to all men, that only by respecting women, by treating them as our rightful equals, can we make our world a better place.
The long struggles of the members of this respectable institution, the fearless traverses, the indomitable spirit, the insurmountable faith which shielded them from the atrocities in their surroundings even at the time of the Partition, have paid off. Brahma Kumaris is in general consultative status with UNICEF and the United Nations ECOSOC. They are working with UNICEF and UNESCO at headquarters, as well as within the national committees and commissions, promoting several initiatives and programmes, some specifically for women, youth and children.
As an organisation largely administered by women, Brahma Kumaris has encouraged empowerment and leadership of women by actively participating in the UN World Conferences for Women. These unstoppable spiritual workers has demonstrated that there is nothing that men and women cannot achieve along the path of equality.
