The Brahma Kumaris’ reported trance visions at Mount Abu

Record summary

Brahma Kumaris literature from the Mount Abu headquarters describes trance or sakar-murli experiences, communications attributed to Shiva, and visionary teaching received through selected mediums. The movement’s magazines, lesson transcripts, and organizational histories provide a relatively clear documentary trail for the 1970s and 1980s. These materials are useful for comparison with possession, revelation, and mediumship traditions elsewhere in South Asia. The reports are internal religious records, and the terminology can refer to theology, altered consciousness, or ritual authority rather than a publicly testable apparition.
