KARACHI: In a simple, white sari and a modest but strong countenance, 94-year-old Dadi Janki, the spiritual guide of the Hindu caste Brahma Kumari, came back home after 60 years.
In her first visit to Karachi from Hyderabad Deccan, she spoke to a hall of almost 500 Muslims and Hindus, uniting them all under one roof. Dadi Janki, who was born in Hyderabad Deccan in 1916, is now internationally acknowledged as a spiritual leader of the Brahma Kumaris. Dadi (meaning elder sister in Hindi) Janki has dedicated more than 70 years of her life to the work of the Prajapita Brahma Kumari Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya (Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University).
She has travelled the world, advising politicians, leardes, businessmen and doctors on spiritual matters. At the event arranged by the Pakistan Hindu Council on Tuesday, Dadi Janki refused to accept any assistance walking when she interacted with her followers and admirers. “Karachi is now like western cities with numerous cars and development but I can still feel inner happiness and peace even in this buzzing city,” she said. She stressed the importance of silence and introspection, saying that we should not spend our precious time by just talking. “Why talk when we can convey far more with silence, sight and simplicity,” she advocated.
She said that worry, anxiety and fear not only cause harm by accumulating pessimism but also waste time as they change nothing. “If we have courage, faith and honesty, God will see our strength and almost all that we aim to achieve will be achieved,” she said. Dadi Janki, who has 70 years of spiritual work and excellence to her credit, denounced all worldly and material things, saying that it is more important to possess courage, honesty and patience. “If [Iceland’s] volcanic ash can spread [throughout the world], then why can’t the message of love and contentment,” she smiled. As all the people in the hall closed their eyes for two minutes to see themselves for who they are, one could feel the energy of inner awareness and satisfaction fill the room.

The Brahma Kumaris run a slick, well oiled PR machine but nothing hides the facts of their religion.
A spirit possesses their chief medium even to this day. They claim it is the supreme god, the God of all other “impure” religions, who has come to destroy all other religions and that they will inspire “Destruction”, the End of the World, specifically “giving courage” to the scientists who will set off a nuclear holocaust to “purify” the world and kill 6,000,000,000 human beings. Only they are to inherit a heaven on earth for 900,000 of their followers which they claim will start around 2036.
The Brahma Kumaris have been involved in a cover up of their true history, sell fictionalized versions of their leaders’ life and hide their real teachings called Murlis away from the world. Their history is littered with 70 years of broken families, suicides, legal and financial improbities, and even covered up child sex abuse. Their aim, the possessing spirit tells them, is to take over the Government of India shortly before this “imminent and desirable” Destruction.
Of course, it does not all add up. The spirit has made many false predictions. It and the leaders keep adherents of the cult in a state of suspension expecting “Destruction” in which they can be exploited for money, property and free labor. All, apparently, to earn a high status in the forthcoming Golden Age.
India and Pakistan, they predict, are to end in a vast blood bath of a civil war. Only they are to inherit a purified “Bharat” combining them both as the rest of the nations of the world sink below the oceans.
World … wake up to what is going on with these people. Do not be deceived by their sweet words designed to please.Recommend
My dear journalist friends of Karachi I just want you people to investigate history of their spiritual institution . First in Karachi they had told that the world will end in destruction around 1949 and paradise will come and now caim that paradise will come after 2036 and people who believe them should dedicate all their life and property to get a place there before the destructtion of the world. That is why I hint pakistan journalists to browse through the website brahmakumaris.info you will understand their hidden roots.Recommend
Awsome! I feel happy about such events taking place in our beloved country.Recommend
It shows that, cycle is likely to complete and destruction is very near, everything can happen ACHANAK.
Let us wait and see the rest.Recommend

The wonderful thing is that, although I am miles and miles away from Sindh, I feel as if I too was there, experiencing these historic and magical events with Dadi and all of you. The atmosphere and collective experience of special times like this go beyond the limits of geography and time.Recommend
