Dadi Prakashmani has really justified the significance of her name as she spread the light of spiritual knowledge and divinity far and wide across the world. The manner in which she took forward the mission of the Brahmakumaris, after Brahma Baba attained the incorporeal state, the motherly love that she gave to one and all and the effective and efficient administration of the organization speak volumes about her talent and qualities of head and heart and which no member of this divine family can ever forget. She was perhaps the most loving child of Baba, the true follower of purity and truth.

She took keen interest in the administration of the Yagya. After Brahma Baba left his mortal coil, she devoted herself to the spiritual services in the country and abroad and maintained a unity of ideas and ideals within the organisation. It was her great quality that she recognized the talent of each and every member and utilized it for
the benefit of the Yagya. It was because of her efforts that many milestones have been achieved and many memorials raised for the Brahmakumaris world-wide.

Dadi Ji was virtuous, humble and religious minded from her early childhood. She once said about herself, “When I joined Baba’s knowledge, I was about 14 years of age and I had already passed the Matriculation Examination. I don’t remember ever having told a lie or indulged in theft. I never abused anybody nor did anyone ever abuse me. I did not know what true learning was, but I was sure that having desires makes you ignorant and illiterate. I would often argue that the gopis did not have desires, Mira did not demand anything. Moreover, if mother wanted me to eat something she would do it of her own, why should I demand?”

Dadi Ji followed God’s advice in every field and that is why she became the ‘Redeemer and Motherly Figure to the World’. One thing that one experienced in Dadi Ji was her confidence. Whatever happened, her confidence would neither reduce nor would it ever shake. Her faith was solidly based in her love for Baba and fellow brothers and sisters. She was always benevolent and would keep others ahead of her.
Dadi never commented on or delayed the implementation of any of Baba’s directives. Moreover she never had any ego to satisfy. Her only reaction to any appreciation or commendation was that it is Baba who gets everything done. Her model of obedience and affection left a lot to see, learn and experience.

Dadi Ji, in her class, would guide one and all about the norms, rules and regulations but would not point out anyone’s lapse directly. She never had any ill-will or bitter feeling about anyone in her mind. She had a golden principle: “If anything takes roots in your mind, your happiness has to yield place to that thought. So you may lose the corporeal life but not the spiritual bliss.”

Rajyogi BK Ramesh Shah once said about Dadi Ji, “Mateshwari Jagdamba attained the incorporeal state on June 24, 1965, when we also came to Madhuban. Sometime later, I wrote a letter to Brahma
Baba asking him to formally appoint an administrator of the organization in place of Mateshwari Jagdamba. I also requested him to make this decision in writing, since that would solve many a legal problem. So on April 01, 1966, Baba wrote in his own hand in Sindhi language on the last page of that day’s Murali and appointed Dadi Prakashmani the Chief Administrator and Didi Manmohini Ji as the Additional Chief Administrator of the organization. Baba sent a copy of this appointment letter to me and said, “Today I have formally made this appointment and informed others through the Murli.” In this way Dadi Ji was appointed the Chief Administrator, the responsibility she continued to discharge very efficiently till her last moments in the mortal coil.”

It is no exaggeration to say that like a talented, efficient and mature captain she guided this ship of the BK family and led it to great heights. On August 25, 2007, she left her mortal coil and joined the Advance Party to lay the foundations of the New World. I had an opportunity to meet her in the year 2000, as an illiterate and ignorant person spiritually, but came out of the Pandav Bhawan as one of His enlightened and devoted children.
Our multi-million salutes to Dadi Ji!
