It does appear to be a massive crowd.

yes, it does sound like that doesn't it - maybe they have an illness they are hoping Maharaji can cure them of.

How many were reportedly at the Peace Bomb satsang? I'm sure it was in the millions.

They sure are proud of it. He has two Guiness book records now. One more than Moon in the battle of the cult leaders?
Looking at the crowd photos … it does look huge. Another thing for my trump/premrawat/michaeljackson Venn diagram.
Meanwhile in from what people say the US tour there were lots of empty seats.
Logistics of keeping a crowd that size safe in India too.

In case you're new here, welcome to the forum! 1972 was a good year. Graduated from high school. My last full year of thinking and feeling freely before I was swept-up in the Prem Rawat cult.
(I won't go into what happened after that.)

Oh I say so you're setting the Guinness book of records for the longest line dance on a train? Solar train, she replies, it's the first line dance on a solar train.
Could they even print a copy of The Guinness Book of Records now?

Why it was only a few years ago on Christmas Day in 1971 when in Patna, Bihar he had a crowd of one and a half million there at his feet. At least that's what I read somewhere. In fact, during the speech he said,
Now, in this greatest function, I believe that there may be about a half-million persons assembled here. These half million people are like a drop in the ocean in the presence of the 550 million people of India. Therefore, my dear aspirants, the Knowledge of self-realization, as you call it, is the same Knowledge I have come to give to you. I possess that Knowledge and I give it to the people. And by imparting that Knowledge of self-realization, I want to restore peace in the universe. I want to restore peace in this universe, that peace for which all the so- called religious leaders are striving. India has a great history, and the pattern of this history has not been broken. The record is that when there was a decline in Truth, then God Himself came and controlled the situation. No so-called religious leaders or political leaders could even dare to do that. This is the record of India. When there were many cruel actions at the time of Guru Govind Singh, He took the sword in His own hand and He fought. This is the record of India.
That is a translation, no doubt because as he used to keep reminding us, he could not speak 35 languages and we should stop exaggerating how many languages he speaks and save the exaggeration for talking about how fantastic your experience of Knowledge is. https://prem-rawat-bio.org/dlm_pubs/elanvital/1977_0101/gmj_searching4thesun.html

4 quadrants of people? Some look like military? Is that the young captain peace ambassador in the middle surrounded with the the lord of the mind, the lord of music and the lord of security? Some saffron folks in second row?
Anyone know what this was?

It's from the article about Premboy's satsang that day in 1971. If you get a half a million or 1 1/2 million people together in a place like Bihar you need some sort of infrastructure and I guess they are tents left over from WWII that the Indian government or Divine Light Mission, India use on occasions like that. There was also a huge parade which is what DLM liked to do in those days and earlier.
There must have been an article about this other than the transcript of the speech or else I wouldn't have got the 1 1/2 million figure.

A HISTORY OF HANS JAYANTIhttps://prem-rawat-bio.org/dlm_pubs/aiid/millenium/historyofhansayantip10.html
The Word has enough power to unify the Universe. It was not difficult
for that one eternal vibration to bring together 350 head-strong minds.
When finally a fresh and purifying wind began to rush through the maze
of their thoughts, the lost children found themselves looking into the
face of their Father. There was not much time left to be with Guru
Maharaj Ji. The second half of the Hans Jayanti Festival was to be held
in Patna. From there the Westerners would return to their own countries.
On the last night of their stay in Prem Nagar. Guru Maharaj Ji spoke to
them.
"I am leaving for Patna. Maybe we can have a couple of
hours in Patna to talk, but it is very busy there. So regularly do
meditation. This is a very important point. Maybe you do not understand
it now, but when you leave me, when I am away, then you will understand
how significant meditation is.
May Guru Maharaj Ji bless you at a single moment, and may you stand
erect and go. My blessings are always with you and grace too. So go
along, don't be afraid of anything in the world. A man who has got my
blessings has nothing to be afraid of in the world. Don't be afraid."
Eight abreast, the procession of 750,000 people walked through the
streets of Patna to the Gandhi Grounds. One hundred floats supporting
paintings of past Perfect Masters two times life size were drawn by
water buffalo. A line of fifty elephants, with their babies clinging to
their tails, and twenty camels followed. Next in line was a marching
band which announced the swan chariot of Guru Maharaj Ji. It was some
parade.
At the first night's program, a few gun shots were heard. It was
rumored that a young militant group, the Arya Samaj, had decided to
disrupt the festival. The American disciples were the subject of special
hostility as a result of the Indo-Pakistani war. At one point the
wiring for the light and sound equipment was cut and the crowd of one
million people was plunged into darkness. Later it was learned that
eleven people had been killed and several badly beaten.

Our Lord's discourse at the Central Hall, Westminster, on 2nd November, 1971
One lakh = 100,000 so our Lord is saying there will be one and a half million people at Delhi next week and at Christmas in Patna another (or the same) one and a half million people will attend
And then there is a very jumbo function in Delhi and one million and
five lakhs people will come there. That's fifteen lakhs of people who
are expected. And then after that there is again a function in Bihar, in
Patna, where we expect the same amount or even more people. And for
that we have booked three big grounds and in each of these grounds, if
you wanted, you could make an airport. They are such big grounds. And
people are going to stay in these grounds and they are going to
experience this divine bliss.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe I'll got with my second pick, #15.
|
|
|
yes I don't think a murderer can be the true Satguru - I am going for #6 - the only one putting some effort into his hairdo.

Didn't Sri Prem Pal Singh Rawat Guru Maharaj Ji Lord Of The Universe kill a pedestrian in a hit and run in India? And he made a premie take the fall and go to jail for him? So he is not Sat Guru material.
|
|
|
SatPal and the hugger both made it but not him.
|
|
|
And could that be because he isn't one of the most famous gurus in India?
