1. 2004 has been an exciting and productive year for The Prem Rawat Foundation, whose activities included producing some of Maharaji's speeches, writings, and lectures, as well as contributing to specific charitable activities. Here are some of the highlights: - Co-sponsor of the "Keys," a self-contained set of more than one hundred hours of video material aimed at helping people prepare to learn the techniques that Maharaji shows for finding peace within. - Inspire, the weekly newsletter sponsored by TPRF, was launched and continues to give subscribers a chance to stay connected with Maharaji and his numerous activities. - Four very special events were sponsored by The Prem Rawat Foundation and will soon be ready in DVD, Video and CD format:

2. Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia: Maharaji addressed a capacity audience of faculty, guests, and students. He was welcomed by the Director of the Asia Pacific Institute and thanked by the President of the Australian Institute for International Affairs. In association with the Universal Forum of Cultures, Barcelona, Spain: Dr. Pages, Chief Executive Officer of the Forum, introduced Maharaji and hailed his message as "unique." Italian Parliament, Rome, Italy: President Emilio Colombo, former president of the European Parliament and former Prime Minister of Italy, described Prem Rawat's visit as "singular in nature and exceptional in purpose." He expressed that "Maharaji's words provide an occasion for deep reflection," and that "they deserve to be heard because they are an invitation to explore and manifest the values residing within us, treasures very often ignored or neglected." Harvard University's Sanders Theatre: Maharaji presented his message to an audience of faculty, students, and guests. Many of the most venerable academic, political, and literary figures of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King have taken the podium at Sanders Theatre.

3. - Humanitarian and charitable projects: Shipment of battery-less flashlights was sent to a small community on the island of Grenada, still without electricity, after the area was devastated by a hurricane.
