About the Brahma Kumaris

The Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University (BKWSU) is known for its grass roots work in spiritual education and as a convenor of international projects and dialogues dealing with issues of world transformation.

Founded in India in the 1930s, the BKWSU now has centres in over 90 countries. The University works alongside individuals and organisations in all areas of the community, such as healthcare, education, youth, social services, the criminal justice system and in interreligious dialogue.

A visionary leader, the founder, Brahma Baba, envisioned a time when people of all backgrounds would come together to rediscover and develop the spiritual dimension of their lives. One of his most revolutionary inspirations was to place women in the major leadership roles of the University.

The BKWSU has general consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council and consultative status with UNICEF.
