Dear Brothers & Sisters,

BK Nirmla Devi Bakhshi was born on 21 March 1931 in Meerpur, India, and departed on 29 January 2025 in Slough, England, on the auspicious day of Moni Amavasya during the Maha Kumbh Mela in India, which occurs only once every 144 years. She left her body peacefully within ten minutes. Her last words were "Om Shanti", spoken with a beautiful smile on her face.

She is fondly remembered as a mother to all, offering love and strength to everyone she met. Highly disciplined in her daily routines, she was a powerful yogi, detached from possessions, and an embodiment of purity. She had the quality of always speaking good words and demonstrating merciful and benevolent behaviour towards all living beings.

Born into a family of educated professionals—mainly lawyers since many generations, doctors, and teachers—she herself served as the headmistress of a children's school. In 1966, she moved to the UK with her family. In April 1970, Baba himself gave her the Gyan course through visions, making her the first person to receive Gyan outside of India, along with her daughter Suman. She began serving at her home in Slough and continued there until 2025.

A great instrument of Baba, she played a vital role in supporting the newly established centres across Europe, particularly in Germany, Belgium, Holland, and Switzerland. She travelled extensively, serving Baba’s centres. Beyond her spiritual work, she was also a dedicated social worker, always committed to the well-being of her community.

Strong and royal in nature, she had the unique ability to unite people—exemplifying the sanskars of a true Maharaja of the coming Golden Age, Satyuga.

With deep gratitude, we send her our heartfelt thanks for the immense love, care, and support she gave to all.

The final farewell will take place on Monday, 10 February 2025, at 11.30am
Slough Crematorium, Stoke Road, Slough SL2 5AX

The family requests everyone to join afterwards for Preeti Bhojan (a gathering for friends and family to have a meal together) at Slough Hindu Mandir, Keel Drive, Slough SL1 2XU

We send our good wishes in Baba’s remembrance to BK Nirmla and her family.

With Love,
In Baba’s yaad,

Slough BK Family
