Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President Nitin Nabin on Monday, 26 October 2026, addressed a Global Summit at Mount Abu, Rajasthan, convened to mark 90 years of the Brahma Kumaris' spiritual leadership. He described the institution's nine-decade journey as a living symbol of Indian culture, spirituality, and global welfare.
Women-Led Leadership and Modi's Vision
Nabin drew a direct link between the Brahma Kumaris' women-led governance model and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's stated vision of Women-Led Development. He paid tribute to the institution's lineage of women leaders — Dadi Prakashmani, Dadi Janki, Dadi Hridaymohini, and Dadi Ratanmohini — crediting their stewardship with sustaining the organisation's mission of global welfare across generations.
Call for a Drug-Free India
Addressing the need for social reform, Nabin underscored that building a Nasha-Mukt Bharat (drug-free India) was essential to protecting the strength of the country's youth and securing its future. He expressed confidence that the de-addiction campaign launched in collaboration with the Brahma Kumaris under Prime Minister Modi's leadership would succeed. He expressed hope that by the time the institution completes 100 years, India would be free from substance abuse.
Value-Based Education and Viksit Bharat 2047
Nabin stressed that the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 could only be realised when awareness transforms into resolve and resolve converts into action through public participation. He emphasised value-based education, service, and environmental conservation as foundational commitments that would help India lead the way toward global brotherhood. He also noted that good thoughts become meaningful only when translated into action, and called on citizens to move from the spirit of 'I' to 'We' — a shift he said strengthens the nation.
The Institution's Global Footprint
Recalling the organisation's history, Nabin noted that the journey which began in 1936 continued despite the upheaval of Partition, and that today the Brahma Kumaris operate in more than 140 countries through over 5,000 service centres. He also highlighted the institution's recent commitments to plant 90 lakh trees, facilitate large-scale blood donation drives, and organise spiritual gatherings across major Indian cities.
Key Dignitaries Present
The summit was attended by Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, BJP State President Madan Rathore, Rajyogini Mohini Didi, Rajyogi BK Mrityunjay, and other dignitaries. The gathering underscored the Brahma Kumaris' enduring influence at the intersection of spirituality, social service, and national policy dialogue. With its centenary a decade away, the institution's next phase of growth — and its formal partnership with government-led de-addiction and environmental campaigns — will be closely watched.
