Brahma Kumaris’ Karachi visions and the 1947–48 migration

Record summary

The Brahma Kumaris movement, founded around the visions and trance experiences associated with Dada Lekhraj, underwent major relocation from Karachi to India amid Partition. Followers interpreted earlier visions, spirit communication, and predictions through a distinctive millenarian theology. This is a valuable comparative lead because political displacement, visionary authority, gendered religious organization, and textual recording intersect in a clearly identifiable historical episode. The visions are matters of movement testimony and doctrinal interpretation; researchers should distinguish dates of experiences from dates of later transcripts, publications, and institutional histories.
