Check, mate, I don't want to piss on your parade but Prem Rawat has told us how he became the Guru Maharaji and it was a very divine process. He explained it in the official publication: Who Is Guru Maharaji?"I didn't want to be Satguru. I didn't understand why it is me. I would have been satisfied to be the humblest servant of the Satguru and not to be one myself. It was not my desire. But (my father) sent his love to his oldest three sons and complete prostrations to his youngest. So they crowned me with the crown of Rama and Krishna and put the tilak on my forehead, and again the voice came: '... You are He. You must take this Knowledge out to the world.'"
"I went home (from school) and everyone was, weeping. I was just sitting there not weeping and something began to happen to me. I began to feel that I am not this body; that I could not move these lips. I always thought that the soul would leave by the mouth, but my mouth was shut. Still I felt like I was leaving my body and my soul was everywhere going out. And this voice came to me saying, 'You are he, you are the one to continue.'
"Then I puzzled over the voice. Thirteen days later, I was doing pranam to my Father's ashes and bones. You know, in India they burn the bodies and thirteen days later you go and collect the ashes. I bent down to touch the ashes, the voice came: 'You are he. You are the one to go and give this to the world."'
Wow, it really must have been better than LSD, super LSD, divine LSD.
Hey if Guru Maharaji, the Lord of the Universe, pranams at your feet and gives you specific instructions with a voice inside your head that "You are the One" then it's pretty obvious that Prem Rawat was indeed the very Guru Maharaji he was talking about later that everyone should worship.
