CM Bhajan Lal visits Brahma Kumaris in Abu Road with BJP chief
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
At the tranquil foothills of Mount Abu on Monday, 26 October 2026, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma paused the business of governance for something quieter — meditation and prayer at the Brahma Kumaris headquarters in Abu Road, Sirohi, seeking divine blessings for the peace and prosperity of Rajasthan's people.
Sharma was accompanied by the BJP's national president Nitin Nabin, and the visit was also attended by Rajasthan BJP state president Madan Rathore, along with other dignitaries. In a post on X, the Chief Minister described the experience in the 'shant evam adhyatmik vatavaran' (serene and spiritual atmosphere) of the institution as a source of renewed energy for the path of public welfare and service.
A prayer for Rajasthan at the Brahma Kumaris campus
The Brahma Kumaris, founded in 1936, has its global headquarters on the slopes of Mount Abu in Sirohi district — one of Rajasthan's most recognised spiritual landmarks. The organisation is known internationally for its meditation techniques and teachings on self-transformation, drawing visitors from across the world to this Aravalli hilltown.
Sharma wrote that the group engaged in 'Ishwar ka dhyan' — contemplation of the divine — and prayed for the happiness, peace, and prosperity of the state. He added that such spiritual experiences 'always infuse new energy' for those walking the path of service to the people.
BJP leaders and the tradition of spiritual visits in Rajasthan
BJP leaders in Rajasthan have periodically visited the Brahma Kumaris campus, framing these engagements as opportunities for introspection on governance and public duty — a pattern consistent with the party's broader public emphasis on cultural and spiritual values alongside administrative work. The presence of both the state's top executive and the party's national president at the same visit gives this particular occasion a degree of political visibility beyond a routine spiritual call.
Madan Rathore, who serves as the BJP's Rajasthan state president, was also present, underlining the institutional character of the visit rather than a personal one.
Whether the visit is followed by fresh announcements on welfare or development programmes for the state remains the immediate thing to watch — but for now, the message from Abu Road was one of reflection, not proclamation.
