Dadi Janki is a women of wisdom..... A woman who, through understanding spiritual truths, has reached a position of personal peace and power.  In a world which is teetering on the edge of 'extreme' chaos, Dadi Janki has discovered her own personal world of balance and order.

At 80 years of age, Dadi Janki is internationally acknowledged as a great teacher and mentor and continues of offer inspiration to many people who are searching for peace and harmony in their heart and in their homeland.

As Joint Administrative Head of the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University (BKWSU), Dadi Janki provides a working leadership model for all women and men who are seeking to integrate both male and female qualities into their personal and professional lives.  Dadi lovingly engages people of all faiths and walks of life to be true to their spiritual self; to undertake their unique and individual part in the play of creating  the future - a world worthy of the generations to come.  In short, Dadi Janki calls us all to our potential.

"What kind of world is forming now, beyond this winter of war and sorrow, of poverty, pollution and death?  In the winter, we foresee the spring.  Those with a positive vision of the future give us an image of a world on this planet where all things are given freely, where the high-test human potential is fully realized.  But we can get to that stage only when there are leaders to take us there."

Acknowledgment of Dadi's work came in 1992 when she was invited to be one of the ten Keepers of Wisdom, an eminent group of world spiritual leaders convened to advise the Earth Summit in Brazil on the fundamental spiritual dilemmas which underpin current worldwide environment issues.

Over the past 57 years, Dadi Janki has dedicated her life tot he service of humanity.  She began her spiritual apprenticeship in 1937 at the age of 21 and was one of the founding members of the BKWSU.  She spent 14 years in an enclosed community where intense mediation practices and the study of spiritual knowledge provided her with a firm foundation for the future.   Dadi's purest wish is that all people find the inherent truth of their own spirituality and, as such, realise the potential of their personal relationship with God, the Supreme Soul.  In essence, this is the foundation of her lifelong work.

Throughout he BKWSU which Dadi co-administers, the ancient Eastern principles of Raja Yoga are taught.  The fulcrum of Raja Yoga is a silent form of mediation which over the past twenty three years has provided many interested people outside  India with an opportunity to understand and appreciate more deeply their values, their vision for themselves, their future and their faith.  Dadi Janki has been instrumental in bringing and translating this valuable self management philosophy format he mystic realm of India to the hard nosed, practical arena of our modern world.

Most of all, Dadi Janki is a visionary whose uniqueness lies in her unswerving optimism and a heart which is rich with compassion.  She is a soul who refuses to set limits and boundaries as to what is achievable and in so doing inspires others to believe that they too can make the impossible possible.
