'''Niruben Amin''' (2 December 1944 – 19 March 2006), addressed as '''Pujya Niruma''' by her followers, was an Indian religious leader and an exponent of the ''[[Akram Vignan]]'' philosophy. A gynecologist by profession, she became a disciple of [[Dada Bhagwan]] during her study years. She nursed Dada Bhagwan during his illness and later succeeded him when he died. She headed the Dada Bhagwan Foundation.

==Early life==
[[File:Adalaj_Trimandir_Temple.jpg|thumb|Trimandir at [[Adalaj]]]]
Niruben Amin was born on 2 December 1944 in [[Aurangabad, Maharashtra]], [[India]] (then [[Bombay Presidency]]) in a wealthy Amin family who was a traditionally [[Vaishnava]] Charotar [[Patel]]. Her father was a follower of [[Dada Bhagwan]]. She was the youngest among five siblings. She completed her school education in Mumbai. She started studying medicine from the Aurangabad Medical College. Following death of her mother, she was introduced to Dada Bhagwan. She graduated from the medical college "with help of Dada Bhagwan" and the same day her father died. She later claimed that Dada Bhagwan had foretold her about the news of the death. She further studied and later practiced as a [[gynecologist]].<ref name=FPeter>{{Cite book|url=http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/7438/1/Present_Lord_2003.pdf|title=Present Lord: Simandhara Svami and the Akram Vijnan Movement|last=Flügel|first=Peter|work=The Intimate Other: Love Divine in the Indic Religions|publisher=Orient Longman|year=2005|isbn=9788125028017|editor-last=King|editor-first=Anna S.|location=New Delhi|pages=194–243|editor-last2=Brockington|editor-first2=John|type=Conference Proceedings|access-date=21 March 2017|archive-date=12 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190412074241/https://eprints.soas.ac.uk/7438/1/Present_Lord_2003.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref>

== Spiritual career ==
She was said to achieved [[self-realization]] on 8 July 1968, by {{transl|gu|Gnanvidhi}} of Dada Bhagwan. She started recording tapes of his discourses in 1974 and continued doing so until his death in 1988. More than 4000 such tapes were recorded and were later transcribed and compiled in 14 volumes of ''Aptavani''. In 1976, she was 'blessed' by Dada Bhagwan in 1976 at Mamani Pol, [[Vadodara]] when she was serving him during his illness. She continued to practice in minor surgery. In 1978, when Dada Bhagwan suffered from a fractured leg and required constant medical attention, she joined him to serve using her medical knowledge. She traveled with him, including on his foreign visits, from 1982 to 1987.<ref name=FPeter/>

Soon after the death of Dada Bhagwan in 1988, his Akram Vignan Movement split in two factions. One led by Kanubhai Patel and backed by Jay Sachchidannad Sangh (an organization founded under Dada Bhagwan) and the other led by Niruben Amin. Kanubhai was a business partner before Dada Bhagwan was said to achieved self-realization and was one of his earliest disciples. Niruben claimed that she was instructed and trained in {{transl|gu|Gnanvidhi}} by Dada Bhagwan. Niruben formed her own organisations; first Dada Bhagwan Foundation Trust of Ajit Patel in [[Chennai]] and [[Ahmedabad]], and later Simandhar Swami Aradhana Trust in Ahmedabad and Mahavideh Foundation in Mumbai. She became a popular leader of the movement and was addressed as Niruma ({{literal translation|Mother Niru}}) by her followers from 1999.<ref name=FPeter/><ref name="Wiley2009">{{cite book|last=Wiley|first=Kristi L.|title=The A to Z of Jainism|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cIhCCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA31|date=17 June 2009|publisher=Scarecrow Press|isbn=978-0-8108-6337-8|pages=167–168}}</ref>

Niruben Amin organised the movement by publishing the discourses of Dada Bhagwan, formalising {{transl|gu|Gnanvidhi}}, constructing the temples and composing ritual worship (''[[Puja (Hinduism)|puja]]'').<ref name=FPeter/> In 2002, she inaugurated the temple complex called the Trimandir in [[Adalaj]], Gandhinagar, which was constructed under her guidance and supervision. The temple has statues of [[Simandhar Swami]], [[Shiva]] and [[Krishna]]. She also established a commune, Simandhar City, there.<ref name="Wiley2009"/>

On 19 March 2006, Niruben Amin died following [[stomach cancer]].<ref name="js2006">{{cite web | title=Renowned Spiritual Exponent Dr. Niruben Passes Away | website=Jainsamaj.org | date=16 April 2006 | url=http://jainsamaj.org/magazines/ahimsatimesshow.php?id=98 | access-date=21 March 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160807033042/http://www.jainsamaj.org/magazines/ahimsatimesshow.php?id=98 | archive-date=7 August 2016 | url-status=dead }}</ref> She was succeeded by [[Deepakbhai Desai]].<ref name="Bhagwan2015">{{cite book|author=Dada Bhagwan|title=Adjust Everywhere: Conflict Resolution|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cTzBBwAAQBAJ&pg=PP10|date=2 April 2015|publisher=Dada Bhagwan Aradhana Trust|isbn=978-81-89725-00-6|pages=5–10}}</ref>

Her memorial (''Samadhi'') was erected at the Trimandir, [[Adalaj]].
