At national level, activities are generally coordinated by local people in accordance with the spiritual principles of Brahma Kumaris, working in accordance with the laws of the land. Activities of international interest are coordinated regionally from offices in London, Moscow, Nairobi, New York and Sydney.

The role of women as spiritual leaders Brahma Kumaris is the world's largest spiritual organization run by women. It was the founder, Prajapita Brahma Baba, who chose to put women first from the outset, and this has distinguished Brahma Kumaris on the stage of the world's religions and spiritual organizations. For over 80 years, their leadership has been characterized by constant courage, a capacity for forgiveness and a deep commitment to unity.

Although women hold the most senior administrative positions, the women who hold these positions have always made decisions in partnership with men. This is a model of partnership and consensus leadership, based on respect, equality and humility. As such, it stands as an example of accomplished, harmonious competence.
