Forbes: Mr Rawat, take us back to your early beginnings a bit and tell us how you started your, say, first investment portfolio."

Mr R: When I first came to the west, I had very little but people generously supported me.  Because I convinced them I was the Lord of the Universe!  Can you believe that shit?  I even believed it!  After a while, we realised that I couldn't remain dependent on my supporters for ever, yeah, some of them were starting to wake up so in about 1976 we started using the money I had been given to develop a series of investments to make me financially independent. I have been independent ever since. my picture is in the Funk n' Wagnell's Dictionary next to the word 'financially independent', hoohah! 

Forbes: "Mr. Rawat, please tell us how you obtained your first jet aircraft?  Is was a B707, if my notes are correct.  And please describe the typical employee of -- excuse me -- oh here it is -- the name of the company was DECA.  Yes, describe those employees for me."

Mr R: DECA was created in the late 70s to refurbish a used Boeing 707 to provide transportation for me and Élan Vital personnel. Many premies from around the world gave of their time and skills on this project for very little money and/or modest support. However, nobody was a slave laborer. Many did get sick and at least one died.  I don't think we paid much attention to the OSHA safety regulations back then...oh well, it was for God, I mean for me, and I was in a hurry to save the world and my portfolio, so the premies did not mind sacrificing their health at the time.  I have it on very good authority (wink wink  that the one who died is in Paradise right now having a mint julep with Elvis and a certain bicyclist from India.  For example, Cynthia Gracie, who has been very critical of me on the internet says of her time at DECA, "I was a bliss bunny while I was there. I loved it". I know she was very upset when she had to leave. She was a bliss bunny because ignorance was bliss and they didn't have a clue back then!  She had no idea that I was doing blonde premies at will and I had a lady on the side and the OSHA stuff and that one of my instructors was messing with kids all over the world for four years!!  Shit, if she had known that, I would have had a tiger on my hands... 

Forbes: "Mr. Rawat, your home in Malibu has been renovated several times.  Just how did you get those contractors to work so cheaply?  You must have had some real low-ball bidders!  Can you explain for our readers how you accomplished that?"

Mr R: Much of the unskilled labor was provided by volunteers. who I had convinced I was the Lord Incarnate  We couldn't have done it at 0 labor cost without them.   Many would come for a few weeks each year like a working holiday, others might work one day a week. It was a great atmosphere.  And once in awhile I would let them eat the leavings on my dinner plate which they would practically orgasm over, and if I was in the mood I would let them kiss my feet.

Forbes: Could you tell us about your primary interest. You have been talking about a peace that is within each person for nearly forty years and have taught hundreds of thousands of people to experience this free of charge. How many people do you reach via satellite, DVD, video, personal appearances etc.

Mr R: Hundred of thousands and it continues to grow. just like my investment portfolio.  You wanna see my cars and paintings and my watches that I designed?  You want s'more cognac?  Ya know, serially shpeaking, if I took as good care of my premies as I do of my financial portfolio, I betcha there wouldn't even be an ex-premie website or that f*cking Forum 8.  They'd all still be with me.   I shoulda taken that old coot Jagdeo out of circulation years ago, dammit!   Why didn't I do that?  Those folks weren't defective matches Mr. Forbes Fortune, sir, I just didn't know how to strike them very well and I broke alot of them ...shit, I was just a fatherless kid trying to make my way in this cold hard world doing the family biz.  Give me a freakin' break over here, for my sake, er I mean for God's sake.  Is there gonna be a photo with this article?  If you need one, I got a whole room full of them for sale.  Let's go pick one out... and when does this truth shit wear off?  I have alot of peace to spread, you know...
