The Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre bore witness to a special event on August 25, 2023, as President Draupadi Murmu presided over the unveiling of a postage stamp dedicated to the memory of Dadi Prakashmani. This poignant gesture, carried out under the ‘My Stamp’ initiative by the Department of Posts, Ministry of Communications, aptly coincided with the 16th anniversary of Dadi Prakashmani’s passing.
The commemorative postage stamp, unveiled by President Draupadi Murmu, on the solemn occasion of Dadi Prakashmani’s 16th death anniversary, holds profound significance. This initiative stands as a testament to Dadi Prakashmani’s enduring influence and her remarkable contributions to both the realm of spirituality and society at large. The stamp serves as an immortalizing tribute to her indelible legacy while encapsulating the timeless wisdom she imparted and the positive transformation she catalyzed.
Dadi Prakashmani, the revered former chief of the Brahma Kumaris, played a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of the organization. Her life’s mission was to disseminate Indian values and culture, both within the nation and beyond, through the avenues of spirituality. Her visionary leadership propelled the Brahma Kumaris into becoming the world’s largest women-led spiritual institution. Even during challenging times, Dadi Prakashmani’s unshakable faith and unwavering courage provided steadfast support and guidance to the Brahma Kumaris community.
Founded in 1937 by Prajapita Brahma Baba, the Brahma Kumaris stands as a global spiritual organization deeply committed to personal transformation and the rejuvenation of the world. Nestled in Mount Abu, India, the organization’s headquarters radiates its influence across international spheres, holding non-governmental status. The event of unveiling this commemorative postage stamp not only honors Dadi Prakashmani’s legacy but also amplifies her role in nurturing the spiritual and cultural landscape.
