We believe that the right kind of self-care is utmost important in order to be a selfless giver to those around us, and to the world in general. This is open to one and all, no matter which cultural, religious background or beliefs. Our headquarters are situated in Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India.

What we offer
At the Brahma Kumaris we offer a framework for a life-changing experience. By exploring and discovering the most fundamental question of all, “Who am I?”, we develop a sense of self-mastery that allows us to stay in charge of our lives. The blame game finishes. A deepening spiritual awareness gradually breaks open the cage of illusions. We regain the responsibility for creating our own lives. The present becomes a real present, a gift.
We do this by becoming adept in four areas of study:
The Study of Spiritual Knowledge
Universal truths, regarding the nature of the soul, God and the impact of a close relationship between the two, create a context for our spiritual endeavor. This understanding helps us master the ongoing flow of experiences we call life.
The Practice of Raja Yoga Meditation
A step-by-step process helps us to focus on our deep inner strength and potential, which then begin to flourish and expand. By thinking less and more powerfully, we start to feel our own greatness.
In this meditation we see how silence is the real gateway to contentment. Silence takes us into a world of stillness, like pressing the pause button temporarily on the film of our life.
It helps us to master time. The more time I give to silence, the more silence will give me time.
The Conscious Assimilation of Virtues
Through this we learn that real spirituality is to be able to practice virtues in adverse circumstances. This enhances our self-respect.
We learn to master and understand the energy of love – in giving, not in taking.
We naturally focus on our own and others’ virtues, rather than defects. Relationships are healed.
Serving Others Spiritually
The natural consequence of understanding spiritual truths, practicing Raja Yoga meditation and inculcating virtues is the wish to serve others. Serving is our highest vocation, so it fills us with a new sense of purpose.
Spiritual service towards others is to help them stand on their own feet and make their own decisions. It is about empowering others so that they also see love, peace and happiness as their real treasures in the creation of their inner and outer worlds

Meditation is a daily practice that takes us on an inward journey of self-discovery. Time for quiet reflection and silence, away from the hustle and bustle of daily living, enables us to re-center the self. In our complicated modern world, we have lost touch with our true inner peace and power. Raja Yoga helps you slow down and create a simple and happy life through meditation, spiritual study, discussion, and self-reflection. Regular practice nurtures your relationship with yourself and others, deepens your understanding of spiritual concepts, and brings your mind and heart back into balance. A flower grows to full bloom only when the seed that was planted is tended to properly. Make the garden of your life so beautiful through regular meditation with us!
Raja Yoga meditation is a form of meditation that is accessible to people of all backgrounds. It is a meditation without rituals or mantras and can be practiced anywhere at any time. Raja Yoga meditation is practiced with ‘open eyes’, which makes this method of meditation versatile, simple and easy to practice. Meditation is a state of being in that place just beyond every day consciousness, which is where spiritual empowerment begins. Spiritual awareness gives us the power to choose good and positive thoughts over those which are negative and wasteful. We start to respond to situations, rather than just reacting to them. We begin to live with harmony, we create better and happier, healthier relationships and change our lives in a most positive way.
All programs are offered free of charge as a community service by the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual Organization. Please contact us for any questions or concerns. Also, refer to the Events page for other upcoming public programs.
