Sister Gita radiated a rare spiritual grace that touched everyone she met—though her life’s journey was not without suffering. Born from humble beginnings marked by personal tragedy at a tender age, she endured trauma, orphanhood, and unanswered questions, silently carrying the weight of PTSD.
Yet in her darkest moments, something greater compelled her forward. When Sister Gita fortuitously discovered the teachings of Baba, the Supreme Soul, through the Brahma Kumaris, her life transformed—grief became purpose, and pain turned to peace.
Told through the loving eyes of her daughter, this poignant narrative traces Sister Gita’s path from seeking the God she felt had abandoned her to becoming a vessel for His light—ultimately illuminating the way for others.
The Sister Gita Effect invites you to cultivate your own unshakable link to Source, purify your heart, love more fully, and remember God in every breath.
