The Brahma Kumaris offer people of all backgrounds an opportunity to learn meditation and deepen their understanding of universal principles and innate values through a variety of educational programs, courses and learning resources.

In 1951, the university's world headquarters moved to Mount Abu in Rajasthan, where it remains to this day.

In 1969, Brahma Baba passed away, 93, handing over leadership to Dadi Prakashmani as the administrative head of the organisation.
