I know lots of people received knowledge up until like 1976 or so.   Then, at least from my experience in the USA hardly anybody received knowledge for the next 6 years or so.  That was especially true in 1978, 1979 and 1980.  Tiny numbers received knowledge.  I recall in one community where I lived during that period, a very large US city, there was a handful of "aspirants" (maybe 3-4) who came to satsang all the time, for years, but never received knowledge during all that time, because there were almost no knowledge sessions..

So, I wondered if you knew whether in  any years after 1983,  large numbers of people in the West received knowledge.  And by large, let's say more than a thousand in a country like the US or the UK, although in the scheme of things that's also pretty small.  It's very clear hardly anybody has received knowledge in the west since 1995.  I remember the number in 1997 in North America was 77 and in 2003 it was about 200.

My impression from looking at who are premies now, and by that I mean premies who might go to an event, is that they are largely a middle-aged group who received knowledge in the 70s.  So, either not many people received knowledge after that in the West, or the vast majority of them left.
