In the seventies, I lived in a small college town in the Midwest with about 50 premies.  We had a brother ashram and a sister ashram.  Lots of kids were born into the community.  I always assumed that the community would last our whole lives and the children would become premies.

I loved doing childcare during nightly satsang and I got to know a lot of the kids quite well.  When the children were grown and in college, about 1996, I went to a premie party with a lot of those kids there.  It was New Year's Eve.  Everybody had to write down a New Year's resolution and put it in a hat.  They were read aloud, anonymously and the best one was chosen.  The premie children (around 19 years or so) got together and made up a resolution.  It was a long paragraph full of all the cherished premie concepts about going inside, deeper and deeper.  They were obviously making fun of us premies.  None of them have received Knowledge.  At programs, they have found Rawat to be quite boring.

I suggest that you make fun of your parents.  Heaven knows that it is SO easy to crack jokes about gurus!  You might try giving them some charanamrit for their birthdays.  Tell them that it is genuine.  Give them them this little print-out along with it:

Charanamrit

A special form of prasad is the Charanamrit, which is the water or milk used to wash the feet of the idol, or of a holy saint. The Charanamrit has tremendous powers. It can change the outlook of a devotee entirely. It has the power to cure diseases. There are cases where it brought back life to the dead. Charanamrit is a tonic or medicine for misery, pain and anxiety. Intense faith is the all-important necessity for taking it. Without faith it brings very little benefit. The benefits of Prasada and Charanamrita are beyond description. They have the power to change entirely the outlook of a man’s life. There have been ever so many instances in the past in this holy land of ours (India) which bears witness to the potency and efficacy of Prasada. Prasada destroys all pains and sins. It is an antidote for misery, pain and anxiety. Faith is the important factor in testing the accuracy of this statement. For faithless persons, it brings very little effect.

Those who are brought up in modern education and culture have forgotten all about the glory of Prasada. Many Western educated persons do not attach any importance to Prasada when they get it from Mahatmas. This is a serious mistake. Prasada is a great purifier. As they are brought up in the Western style of living, they have imbibed the spirit of Westerners and forgotten the spirit of true children of Indian Rishis of yore. Live for a week in Vrindavana or Ayodhya or Varanasi or Pandharpur. You will realise the glory and the miraculous effects of Prasada. Many incurable diseases are cured. Many sincere aspirants get wonderful spiritual experiences from mere Prasada alone. Prasada is a panacea. Prasada is a spiritual elixir. Prasada is the Grace of the Lord. Prasada is a cure-all and an ideal pick-me-up. Prasada is an embodiment of Sakti. Prasada is Divinity in manifestation. Prasada energises, vivifies, invigorates and infuses devotion. It should be taken with great faith.

The prasad of the Lord is very sacred and purifying. If it is taken with faith and devotion, it brings miraculous results to the devotee.

The Lord enjoys the subtle essence of the food offered. The food is then eaten as prasad by the devotees.

You might also want to wear a Guru Maharaj Ji button on your shirt or baseball cap.   Or give them the movie "Lord of the Universe" for Christmas.  It is available on Ebay or Amazon quite often.  Be merciless.  Find out which Mahatma gave them Knowledge and find out all the dirt about that Mahatma.  Then tell them.   If they get angry, just say "Jai Sat Chit Anand!"  That should set them off really good.
