Joe, your post is very well written.  You hit on points that make good sense, like the 1970's premies being Rawat's base. At his core, Rawat probably craves being worshipped and celebrated, since he has known nothing else in his "silver-spoon-fed" life.

The scary part, from my perspective as a late-comer, is that Rawat currently operates under the guise of being a supplement to daily life. His PR states openly that Rawatism is not a religion and is compatible with any belief system. 

Yet, dig a little beneath the "O-Negative Claims," and it becomes plain as day that Rawat's followers worship him. Bowing down to a Lord (as premies often refer to Rawat) is NOT compatible with any religion or belief system. Rawatism IS a mutually-exclusive religion. New devotees ARE pressured into absolving their doubts and prior beliefs in order to become fulfilled members.

Duplicity reigns supreme in all aspects of Rawat's cult, from the first video to the last drip.
