Ramesh Shah is the Brahma-kumaris' financial chief who controversially established a trust, The World Spiritual Renewal Trust, to manage the BKWSU wealth a matter of days before the death of their founder Lekhraj Kirpalani. One of a handful of powerful male adherents that run the female fronted organization.

Lekhraj Kirpalani was never a signatory to The World Spiritual Renewal Trust. It has not been established whether he ever signed over his property and estate to the Trust. Critics claim that the heart attack that killed Lekhraj Kirpalani the next day was caused by the Trust being established without his knowledge and against his will.

Previously, the leading Brahma Kumari founder and "medium of god" had written to the Indian Government promising to hand over his wealth if the End of the World, which the Brahma Kumaris call "Destruction", did not happen as God had predicted ... in 1976.

The application was published on exactly the 39th Anniversary of the establishment of the controversial trust in Bombay (16 January 1969).
