Yes, very good point.  One wonders why Dr. Geaves doesn't bother to mention any of that in his scholarly treatise on the Rawat cult.  Seems to have a kind of selective memory of things.

Also, one wonders why Dr. Geaves appeared in the highly revisionist and dishonest "Passages" Video, in which Dr. Geaves claims that Rawat isn't into material wealth, and what a lowly, humble person, Prem Rawat really is, based on his performace at the age of 13.  Such academic objectivity -- what a valued trait.
