Tom,

I wouldn't be surprised if Rawat could indeed cough up $150k for the occasion.  I don't think he's ever done anything like that before but it'd be just another way to play the game and probably not beyond his means. 

But what gets me is that by putting it this way:

"We are pleased that Prem Rawat can present today, via his Foundation, this contribution which comes from him personally and from the generosity of people around the world with an appreciation for his message of peace and humanitarian efforts.

the cult is giving him room for taking far more credit than he deserves.  Did he give $10 or $100,000?  No other one contributor gets personal credit, do they?  But somehow Rawat does.  Why? 

Typically sleazy.
