murlis

Murlis are daily spiritual discourses central to the Brahma Kumaris movement. The term Murli, from Hindi, is used to denote the messages that followers believe originate from God and are spoken through the body of the movement’s founder, Brahma Baba, and later through senior Raj Yoga teachers within the organization. The Murli is considered a divine revelation providing guidance on spiritual knowledge, meditation, and personal conduct.

Origin and transmission describe the Murli as timeless teachings claimed to be delivered in the morning class of Brahma Kumaris centers. adherents believe the messages relay the nature of the soul, the concept of karma, the cycle of world ages (Sati to Kali Yuga), and the purpose of life in relation to global transformation. The content emphasizes devotion to one God, the practice of Raj Yoga, ethical living, celibacy for Brahmins, vegetarianism, and discipline in daily life.

Publication and study notes that Murlis are recorded, transcribed, and published for distribution to centers worldwide. They are organized by date and often circulated as written booklets or audio recordings, with translations available in several languages. Followers study the Murli as a framework for daily routines, meditation, and service activities, using its teachings to shape personal and communal practice.

In interpretation, the Murli serves as a foundational scripture within the Brahma Kumaris, guiding belief and practice for members. While central to the movement, it is primarily understood within its own theological context.
