About Brahma Kumaris

Brahma Kumaris is an international non-governmental organization known for its spiritual teaching of Rajyoga Meditation having its HQ in Mount Abu, India The Brahma Kumaris became affiliated as a non-governmental organisation (NGO) to the UN Department of Public Information (UNDPI) in 1980 and has had Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) since 1983 and with UNICEF since 1988. In July 1998, ECOSOC, on the recommendation of its Committee on NGOs, approved an upgrade in our status from ‘NGO on the Roster’ to ‘general consultative status’. The upgrade recognises the broad range of issues we have contributed to in relation to the work of ECOSOC. We have sent sizeable delegations to most major UN Conferences over the decades, including Nairobi, Rio, Beijing, Copenhagen, and Istanbul. In pursuing the goal of upholding the human rights of all people we work with UNICEF and UNESCO at UN headquarters and within national committees & commissions, promoting value-based programmes and initiatives through our local and national centres. These often include activities specifically designed for women, youth and children. During 1986, the UN’s International Year of Peace, the Institution launched The Million Minutes of Peace Appeal, which reached 88 counties, involved millions of people and won the support of hundreds of companies and organisations. Emphasising that peace begins within each individual, the project collected contributions of over one billion minutes of peace in the form of prayer, meditation and positive thoughts.
