<p>On September 11, President Droupadi Murmu will make her first trip as India&#8217;s President to the Mount Abu headquarters of the Brahma Kumaris, a spiritual group she has been affiliated with since 2009.</p>



<p>She will address the session during the panel discussion at a summit the organisation is conducting. Among those attending the event will be Union ministers G Kishan Reddy and Ashwini Vaishnaw.</p>



<p>Murmu last visited the headquarters about five or six years ago, according to Ratna Behan, who has been associated with the organisation for 48 years. &#8220;We only said a short Om Shanti (greeting) to one another. She ate lunch with everyone in the communal dining hall, and she seemed very grounded.&#8221;</p>



<p>RS Singh, a Brahma Kumari for 55 years, claimed that Murmu joined the group out of a sense of loss. &#8220;She was looking inside herself and found it here.&#8221;</p>



<p>When Murmu was an Odisha legislator, she would go to the Brahma Kumari ashram in the far-off Rairangpur hamlet with her three sisters.</p>



<p>According to her colleague Leena Behen, Murmu would serve food and wash dishes. &#8220;She [Murmu] has always been committed to public service and will remain so.&#8221;</p>



<p>When Murmu lost her husband and two sons, she joined the Brahma Kumaris. According to a member of the organisation, she approached them when she was in horrible form.</p>



<p>She used this place to discover her position in the world. The source continued that in order to disseminate the Brahma Kumaris&#8217; worldview, Murmu organised camps and other activities in far-flung tribal areas.</p>



<p>Murmu will probably also travel to the organization&#8217;s headquarters in Odisha, where she has given two Brahma Kumaris homes.</p>



<p>She is among well-known figures in politics, religion, and business who have ties to the organisation. When he was the chief minister of Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi went to the organization&#8217;s headquarters. More than 140 countries are home to the organisation.</p>



<p>The organization&#8217;s communications officer, BK Komal, claimed that while their donations decreased by almost 50% during the COVID-19 outbreak, their number of followers climbed dramatically.</p>
