Pitashri Prajapita Brahma was the founding father of the Brahma Kumaris. He became the instrument of the Almighty God Shiva for the establishment of the institution in 1936. Prior to the establishment of the institution, he was well known as Dada Lekhraj. Though by birth he was an ordinary man, there were many special qualities in him, qualities apparent though indefinable, even at first glance. He had a delightful, indescribable attractiveness, a charisma which surrounded him like a glow. Even from afar one felt the love, the humility, the heart-felt sincerity of his nature. Even more, one felt the strength and there was the unforgettable, magnetic attraction of his eyes. His ways of living, his gentlemanly manner, his true devotion, won him friends and admirers wherever he set foot. Darkness and depression were unknown to this soul. All these qualities, which defined his spiritual bent of mind and attitude of service, made him a perfect match for being instrument for this Godly task.
