Remembering Dadi Janki
Dadi Janki was a spiritual leader with the rare ability to speak of elevated things in ways that everyone could understand and apply to their own lives. She was one of the founding members of The Brahma Kumaris in the 1930’s in pre-partition India. She served the world as a spiritual teacher based first in India, then for over 30 years in London. In 2007, when the head of The Brahma Kumaris passed, Dadi Janki returned to and assumed leadership of the organisation until her passing in 2020 at age 104.
The Call-of-the-Time was her creation. She used to say, “There are many very good people serving the world at this time, but they are growing tired. Who is serving the servers? We must do that.” At each gathering she shared from her heart with the many influential people who had come together for a dialogue or retreat. Here’s something she shared in November of 2015:
“When I look at anyone, you may think I’m looking through these eyes, but the method is love. My own consistent effort is ‘I am a soul’…Whatever the news is in the world, we have to share love, peace, and happiness. This is what we have to bring into our interactions because this will bring happiness. This meeting and spiritual sharing makes us forget things that are mundane, but these spiritual things, we don’t forget. The atmosphere here is such that no one is even having ordinary thoughts. Whatever is the quality of the atmosphere we create, so this is also the quality of the vibrations. These things cannot be taught, but we learn these things by being in spiritual company.”
