I-Newswire press release

Los Angeles, December 16 — In a serene setting on the outskirts of Delhi, over 70,000 people gathered to spend three days with Prem Rawat, known widely around the world as Maharaji. Among them were people from the New Delhi area of India as well as 45 other countries. The event was held at a 100-acre facility called Raj Vidya Kender, which is set up to accommodate tens of thousands of guests. Many guests stayed on site in bungalows or in a well-equipped campsite.

Addressing the audience in Hindi, which was translated into several languages, Prem Rawat spoke six times over the course of the three-day event. During one address, he expressed: “We need to understand what life is trying to teach us. No matter what happens, what is the most important thing? What do you want in your life? Do you want joy? Do you want the peace of your heart? This is what life is offering us. Don’t put your joy aside, because if you lose your joy, what will be left?”

Robert Best, a retired businessman from Northern Ireland who had flown to Delhi to attend the event, said: “It’s a long way to come, but there’s something special about staying in a place where life becomes a moment-to-moment enjoyment, away from the humdrum and politics. The peace process I hear about back home seems to have lost its way. Prem Rawat offers one with a difference, because it starts with the individual taking responsibility for peace in their own life.”

Jean-Luc Marechal, a management consultant from France, commented: “Much attention has gone into creating a pleasant and focused environment. Being here with Prem Rawat helps me to experience the beauty within me. That is such a joy. It gives me equilibrium and strength.”

People from all walks of life came to hear Prem Rawat talk about finding peace and contentment within. Kathy Quaill, a hairdresser from Australia, said: “The people here are so heartfelt. I find it humbling because a lot of people have so little, yet they all have smiles on their faces. I feel that I’ve grown on the inside, in my heart. Prem Rawat has shown me such a gift. It’s truly an anchor for me.” For Shikha Jashi, a student from Chandigarh, it was eye opening “to meet people from so many different countries who enjoy an experience of peace within. I enjoy seeing the similarity between them and me.”

Alex Shay, a real estate broker from Miami Beach, said: “In my everyday life, my business is all about money and the material world, which I know isn’t going to last forever. When I come to see Prem Rawat, it feels like a reprieve.”

Among the many people who have been learning from Prem Rawat for some time, Ron Bator, an investment consultant living in Thailand, reflected: “Seeing Prem Rawat is always a transformation for me, one that happens in the realm of the heart. Being here is a celebration of life like no other anywhere in the world.”

Prem Rawat travels the world year-round, bringing the promise of hope and harmony into people’s lives. No matter what is happening, he says, each individual has the opportunity to discover peace within, and he can help. Looking at the smiling faces of the attendees, it was apparent that many people appreciated the message of peace that he shared during his addresses.

The Prem Rawat Foundation promotes Prem Rawat’s message of peace and spearheads significant humanitarian initiatives around the world. A few days before the event, TPRF hosted a free medical clinic near Delhi, where thousands of people in need received eye consultations and prescription glasses at no cost.
