===DLM in India===

In 1975, Mata Ji took control of the DLM in India as a result of the rift and installed her eldest son, [[Satpal Rawat]], as its head. A lawsuit in India resulted in his brother Satpal gaining control of the Divine Light Mission in India, and Rawat continuing to lead DLM in the rest of the world.<ref>Melton in Partridge (2004), pp.201-202</ref><ref>Downton (1979)</ref><ref name="thomsonwife">''Biography Resource Center''.
