निर्मलशान्ता nirmalśhāntā (hindi)

Dadi Nirmal Shanta was born on 25th October, 1917 in Hyderabad, Sindh (now in Pakistan) to Dada Lekhraj (later known as Brahma Baba) and Yashoda mata. Dadi’s childhood name was Parvati. Dadi was lovingly known as Palu. Because of her deep and affectionate connection with her mother, Yashoda mata became known as Palaama (Palu’s mother). At the age of 60, when Brahma Baba (previously known as Dada Lekhraj) had a divine vision of the destruction of the old world as well as the creation of a new Golden Age; Dada surrendered his life and belongings to Godly task of world transformation through self-transformation. Dadi also surrendered herself to Godly task.

Brahma Baba taught Dadi Nirmal Shanta the importance of service through thoughts, words and actions. Dadi Nirmal Shanta learnt all kinds of service from sewing slippers to driving cars. Dadi performed all her responsibilities very accurately and with great honesty and sincerity. She displayed the example of Godly teachings through her practical behaviour. Dadi Nirmal Shanta performed spiritual services throughout India. She later became the Administrative Head of Eastern zone comprising West Bengal, Assam, Bihar, Orissa, Tamil Nadu and neighbouring countries like Nepal and Bangladesh. Dadi Nirmal Shanta was fondly known as Pardadi (meaning senior) by everyone. Dadi’s looks had a striking resemblance to her father Dada Lekhraj (lovingly called Brahma Baba). From 2006, upon Baba’s direction, Dadi Nirmal Shanta stayed in Madhuban. In 2013, after being quite unwell for a few months, she left her mortal coil on 15th March 2013 and ascended to the advanced party (souls who are instrumental to initiate the new world) to play her new role for the forthcoming Golden Age.
