Gyaan Sarovar complex is a part of Brahma Kumaris Headquarters, situated in the beautiful hills of Mount Abu. Here is accommodation for the BKs who are surrendered in the Yagya living in madhuban. Gyan Sarovar means a pound of knowledge.


The Academy, known in Hindi as Gyan Sarovar Vidyapeeth, offers residential programs and courses on development and practical implementation of human, moral and spiritual values and principles for not only solving life-related problems with spiritual knowledge, but also living a life with a higher purpose- becoming a Devta (deity) by Gyan and Yog as taught by the incorporeal supreme soul (Shiv Baba).
