In the aftermath of The League of Nations, and during the world war that gnawed at the
roots of civilization, statesmen met in the west with the common aim of determining
the nature of the peace and cooperation that would ensue.
During the tense years that preceded World War II, a group of spiritual men and women
came together in the east, united by their commitment to the welfare of humanity.
As the founding fathers of the United Nations formulated a blueprint for a world
of peace, security and justice; the founding members of the Brahma Kumaris were
researching universal core values which they considered as necessary to restore
individual worth and human dignity.
In 1980 the relationship between the United Nations and the Brahma Kumaris was formalized.
