Brahma Baba

BRAHMA.GIF

The Brahma Kumaris was founded by diamond merchant Lekhraj Kripalani, known as Dada Lekhraj, who, following a series of spiritual visions, adopted the name of " Brahma Baba " and founded the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University, formerly known as Om Mandali. The BKs believe that the soul of Lekhraj Kripalani is Brahma, and reincarnates in his next birth as Krishna or Adi Dev, the first man or Adam.

Brahma Baba is seen by BKs as the number one human soul after Shiva Baba, a.k.a. God, who is number zero and who never takes a body. He is considered the most pure and elevated soul in humanity. As such he is chosen by Shiva Baba as his/her mouthpiece, to reveal knowledge to the world and thus reveal God Shiva. Brahma Baba is thus considered by the Brahma Kumaris to be higher in divinity than Jesus Christ, Mohamed, Buddha and all other religious founders who must come to him, or his followers, for re-education in spirituality.

Brahma Baba, by his actions in a previous or future incarnation 2,500 years ago [ see The Cycle ] is also taught to be the individual that leads humanity to " The Fall ". That is out of divinity and Heaven on earth and into dualistic suffering.
