At 10:05am local time on 25th August 2007, the soul of Dadi Prakashmani, Administrative Head of the Brahma Kumaris, passed away at the organisation’s Shantivan complex on Abu Road in Rajasthan, India. She was in her mid 80's.
Dadi Prakashmani was a truly remarkable soul with an overflowing sense of generosity and love for all. She took on the role of administrative head of the organisation in 1969, at a time when it was just a national entity in India. Over the proceeding years, her wisdom, gentle nature and foresight helped guide the Brahma Kumaris through a period of tremendous global growth.
When she was once asked how she managed such an international organisation, she replied: “Like a family, the basis of this organisation is love, and it flourishes because it is nourished with trust and respect”.
Her cremation took place at the Brahma Kumaris' Shantivan complex on the morning of Monday 27th August 2007. All BK centres around the world continue to have special meditation to further spread the vibrations of peace and love that had been such a hallmark of Dadi.
