The Divine Light Mission concentrates in its religious message totally on its guru, the Indian Maharaj Ji. Its organizational forms are quite loose and only a little mandatory. Some members live in ashrams (closed, spiritually focused living communities) and permanent living communities. Other followers maintain their previous living conditions, like marriage, family, work and their profession. Mahara Ji is revered as Master and God. The DLM promises peace and complete tranquillity for anyone who approaches the Master with loving surrender and without critical prejudice. Both teachings and methods are characterized by extraordinary naivety. The money comes from the donations and the profits of bazaars and flea markets. After a phase of reticence due to what must have been organizational reforms the DLM comes now more into publicity.
