Special Tribute to Dadi Ishu at Brahma Kumaris HQ

Mount Abu (Rajasthan): On the twelfth day after Ishu Dadi, Former Additional Head of Brahma Kumaris, left her mortal coil, a special Bhog (or consecrated food offering) ceremony was held at Shantivan, the International Headquarters of Brahma Kumaris. It was attended by Ratanmohini Dadi, Spiritual Head of Brahma Kumaris; BK Mruthyunjaya, Executive Secretary of Brahma Kumaris; BK Munni, Program Director of Brahma Kumaris; BK Sudesh, European Director of Brahma Kumaris; BK Kavita, Personal companion and caretaker of Ishu Dadi, along with a select gathering of members of the Divine BK Family.

Dadi Ratanmohini, Spiritual Head of Brahma Kumaris, read her tribute to Ishu Dadi.  She said that Ishu Dadi always laid great emphasis on the fact that we must all listen to God’s words only. Whatever He says, we must keep doing, for He is the source of this ‘Yagya’ or Sacrificial Fire. She always said that regardless of anyone else, the Supreme Father is always with us.

BK Mruthyunjaya, Executive Secretary of Brahma Kumaris, while recalling his 52-year-long association with Ishu Dadi, said that she was an honest, loyal and obedient child of the Supreme Soul. She nourished the Organization with these special qualities of hers. She was a practical example of the teachings of the Supreme Soul. Being content always was her nature. She personified simple living and high thinking.

BK Munni, Program Director of Brahma Kumaris, said that Ishu Dadi was a special soul who had the privilege of being at close quarters and receiving personal love and care of Brahma Baba, the Founder Father of Brahma Kumaris. She had seen Ishu Dadi since 1967, and found her to be a personification of penance and service. She was of a sincere, grave and reserved nature. She was ever-smiling and giving love to all.

BK Sudesh, European Director of Brahma Kumaris, said that Ishu Dadi was an example of the power and happiness of a life dedicated to spirituality. She was always equanimous. She executed every Divine service with total love and dedication.

BK Kavita, Personal companion and caretaker of Ishu Dadi, said that she saw God, a mother, in Dadi, and received all the love and care from her. We must strive to be like her.

The Bhog (Divine food offering to God) message on this day said that Ishu Dadi came in the initial days of the Brahma Kumaris and rendered exemplary service, while preferring to keep a low profile always. For her, the Divine Family was everything, she never pined for worldly relations. She was of a serious and introverted nature.
