If one takes a very strict definition of a premie as for example someone who actively follows Maharaji, always seeks opportunities of 'helping' Maharaji in his 'work', practices the teks every day, keeps in 'contact' and does not hide the fact that they are a premie then the numbers will, imo, be very small indeed.  Probably a few hundred in North America and the same in the UK etc. 

Taking a much broader definition, say one that Elan Vital may use, then hey even I am defined as a premie.  I bet that Elan Vital takes the number of people that are on their various mailing lists (duplication of names probably ignored) as a good indication of the number of premies. By that definition I'm a premie even though I have asked Elan Vital (UK) to take my name of their mailing lists several times over the years. (hey EV UK, do you know that you are breaking the data protection law by repeately ignoring my written and verbal requests?). By this count as well as other metrics that EV may use, for instance the number of people registering for events, then perhaps a few thousand per each major geographical area.  India of course is another matter requiring a different analysis.  Many people have several gurus for example.

I know of many people who use to practice K for a long period of time, but who now no longer do and have generally moved onto other things, although they may still occasionally  go to a Rawat program for old times sake to meet old friends or whatever.  I guess Elan Vital would count them as active premies, but in my mind they are not.
