Students of Prem Rawat Open Learning Center in Buenos Aires
I-Newswire press release
Buenos Aires, November 28 — Between a theatre and an entertainment center in downtown Buenos Aires sits an airy boutique with lots of windows and a sign above the door in gold letters that reads “Inspira.”
Amid this very cosmopolitan city of more than 15 million people, here is a quiet place complete with sofas, TV monitors, and sound-isolating headphones, where people come to enjoy the addresses of Prem Rawat, known around the world for his fresh perspective and insight into how to find peace within. Inspira was created for people who want to explore his teachings.
The center, run by volunteers, is open 6 days a week, 8 hours a day. Many of those who visit have just heard about Prem Rawat for the first time, while others have seen the cable TV program “Una Posibilidad,” which features excerpts from his talks and is broadcast throughout South America.
Prem Rawat has been recognized worldwide for his ongoing efforts over the last four decades to inspire people to find peace within. He has received accolades from leaders in government, business, institutions of higher learning, and humanitarian organizations. Over 9 million people in 50 countries have gathered to enjoy his message in such varied venues as Delhi's Nehru Stadium, Sydney’s Opera House, and New York City's Lincoln Center.
Local businessman Rodolfo Elgier, 51, volunteers time each week to help run Inspira. “We know the beautiful impact that just hearing Prem Rawat's message can have in a person's life,” he says. “In Buenos Aires, we wanted to make this message accessible to the millions living in our city. This feeling is shared by all the volunteers whose enthusiasm and passion made this project possible. The response has been fantastic, and the attendance is growing each week.”
Elena Quarrroz, a nurse from Buenos Aires, has been watching Prem Rawat's talks at Inspira for three months. She spends time at the center three or more days a week. “This beautiful message resonates powerfully inside me. It makes me want to feel more peace,” she says. “Since I began listening to him, I have become more reflective and I'm learning a new way of looking at everyday life. Inspira is a beautiful place, ideally located in the middle of the city, and I always enjoy coming here.”
The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF), founded by Prem Rawat, spearheads and supports significant humanitarian initiatives. It recently contributed US$110,000 in food-aid relief to victims of Hurricane Katrina in the U.S. Gulf Coast and US$35,000 to victims of the widespread famine in Niger, West Africa. This year alone, TPRF has donated over US$300,000 to the United Nations World Food Programme.
