The group is led by 90-year-old Indian spiritualist Dadi Janki, a woman Dwina regards as her guru and whom she consults, according to a source close to her, 'about everything'. Both Dwina and Robin (Gibb) make regular donations to Brahma Kumaris, which translated means Daughters of Brahma, the Hindu god of creation.”
