As I have said a few times previously, he does not say that he is NOT "the Lord", he does not say that he is NOT "Satguru", he does not say that he is NOT "Perfect Master". (If you think that he has ever said that he is NOT "the Lord", or NOT "Satguru", or NOT "Perfect Master", could you show me some evidence, tell me where he said it - in what publication, on what tape or CD can it be found?)

At expressions events - where some premies in the audience speak personally to Maharaji - a few premies have occasionally referred to his "divinity" (as you call it) - not referring to him as "God", but as "Lord" or something similar - and he did not say anything to discourage them from saying what they said.

You've already conceded that Rawat has a "large influence" over what EV says.  Okay, here's EV:
 
Why was he called "Lord of the Universe" in the '70s?
In Western culture, when a title is given to a person, it comes with a position. In India, by contrast, such grand labels as "His Holiness" or "Lord of the Universe" are given on the basis of affection or admiration. The use of this title, which was used only in the '70s—an era of love for all things Indian— does not imply any claims that the person is holy anymore than the use of "His Excellence" means that the person is an embodiment of excellence. "I am a human being, and you are a human being," says Maharaji, "and that is the basis of this relationship." Other people in India have also been called "Lord of the Universe" well before Maharaji, without its ever implying that they claimed to rule the universe or have anything to do with its creation.

This is a straighforward, explicit denial that he is the Lord.

You lose, GOK.  Now deal with it.
