Is that his mission and its various incarnations is a total failure (in terms of what he wanted to achieve): less and less audience, less and less 'propagation', less and less reliability, more and more problems, bad press, internet critics etc .... (granted that on the cash flow side, HH is getting enough to fill his big mouth)

Any stupid manager would seek some advice in such a situation, and I bet some intelligent persons suggested him to totally change his facade for a more palatable one. But that doesn't mean TPRF is getting any success.

As a matter of fact I met by accident a premie I had not seen for years, a couple of days ago. We had a drink and went out for dinner together. He used to be quite involved. He's not involved anymore, doesn't care much for the guru anymore, doesn't watch the boring video broadcasts etc - but he still has a lot of connections and is informed of what's going on. He confirms that it's almost a dead cult. The few hundreds of figures they're getting here and there consist of the same old lifers, and that's all.

I guess Rawat has to keep that new facade as an excuse for those lifers - they all know it's totally bogus, but they keep coming to the events, sending money etc. And their new 'humanitarian' cause is a big laugh for the remaining premies, they know it's bogus - but they donate, it's part of the game. Even the lifers figures is slowly decreasing.

It's an agonising cult.
