Dear Brothers & Sisters,

Tamuben Muru passed away peacefully on Sunday, 17th May 2026 at approximately 3:30am in Porbandar, India and her funeral was held later in the morning on 17th May.

She was born on 21st October 1942 in the small village of Modhvada, in the Porbandar district of Gujarat, India, to Karsanbhai and Rambhiben Modhwadia. She was the eldest of six siblings and from an early age displayed the strength, responsibility and caring nature that would define her life.

As a young woman, Tamuben married the late Laxmanbhai Muru. Before her marriage, she moved to Uganda with her parents and younger brother, where she established a new life and became a devoted wife and loving mother.

In September 1972, due to the political unrest in Uganda, Tamuben and her family were forced to leave the country. Together with her husband and their five children, she settled in Loughborough, where her parents and siblings had already made their home. Loughborough remained her home for most of her life, where she built strong family and community ties and raised her family with dedication and care. Tamuben remained in Loughborough until the passing of her husband, Laxmanbhai.

Shortly after arriving in the United Kingdom, Tamuben began working and spent many years employed at the Brush Factory. Through her hard work, friendly nature and genuine kindness, she formed many lasting friendships and earned the respect and affection of those around her before eventually retiring.

Tamuben was introduced to the Brahma Kumaris in 1976 and later followed in the spiritual footsteps of her parents and her younger sister, Maniben. She developed a deep love for Baba, the Murli and the Brahma Kumaris family, remaining committed to her spiritual journey throughout her life.

Despite working full-time and caring for her family, Tamuben would regularly attend the Centre at 25 Boyer Street and was committed to attending classes and spiritual programmes whenever possible. She embraced gyan wholeheartedly and found great joy in service and spiritual gatherings. Following her retirement, Tamuben dedicated much of her time to service through cooking at the Centre. She also spent many occasions serving at Global Co-operation House in London, where she worked tirelessly in the kitchen with love and dedication. Her selfless service, hardworking nature and caring spirit endeared her to everyone who knew her.

Tamuben was a proud grandmother to ten grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, each of whom brought immense happiness, pride and joy to her life. In her later years, Tamuben spent much of her time in India with her son, while continuing to visit the United Kingdom annually to be with her family, friends and spiritual family.

Tamuben will be deeply missed by her family, friends and the Brahma Kumaris family. She will be remembered for her strength, dedication, loving nature, humility and unwavering spiritual faith. Her family feel truly blessed and grateful for the love, guidance and values she shared throughout their lives.

We send our heartfelt good wishes, in Baba’s remembrance, to Tamuben and all her family.

In Baba’s yaad,

Loughborough BK Family
