Well anyway all true as far as I recall ... those halcyon days of Divine Timing and singing 'Spread this Knowledge'. Completely bonkers but utterely sincere ...I think many of us loved the thought of doing something for world peace.
Cut to today....Rawat's shifty little efforts to borrow legitimacy...the UN, Oxfam, the Oscars...anything. And precious little singing in this Rawat's 'year of participation' as the faithful diligently work out how to foist yet another 65000 DVDs on all the usual libraries and health food shops after having been fleeced for another £30 at yet another 'Participation' meeting
But it has to be tough to propogate a 'message' like this..
-----------------------------
The biggest adventure is not climbing Mt. Everest. That’s been done. The biggest adventure that will ever unfold in your life is you finding you. The story is fun. It is delicious, and it is the biggest mystery: You are never far from yourself, ever. The closest you will ever be to anyone is you, and the one you don’t know is you. You know everybody else, and what you have to do is find you.
Talk about an adventure—this is Dragon Land. Here, dragons are not imagination. They really exist. If you don’t tame the dragon in your adventure, it will eat you. And if you do tame the dragon, you get to fly on its back wherever you want to go.
In this story, there are swords, but there is one sword that has unbelievable powers—the sword of clarity. Everyone has it but is afraid of it. They’re not afraid of the dragon. They should be, because the dragon has only one mission in mind: Food. And if you are not careful, some of your most treasured things will be taken away from you.
You are the protector, the knight in shining armor of this story. You have the sword of clarity that can make everything right, but you’re afraid to pull it out.
Does this adventure start from your birth and then there is a happy ending? No, this story plays out every single day. You get to make a happy ending and you get to be victorious every day. Can you change the story? That’s a million-dollar question. A lot of people will tell you, “No. You cannot.” Me? Yes, of course you can change the story. And not only that, I have seen it changed. Even in your most frustrated, darkest day, there’s a place inside of you where you can go, touch that place within, and your story has changed.
If you choose to change the story, I’m here to help and I can help. I’ve helped a lot of people. But the most important thing is that there is a lot of hope. If you really understand that you can change the story, there’s a tremendous amount of hope—hope that this life can be fulfilled every single day. And that is a mighty nice hope to have. And not only hope, but tools to make it real.

What on earth does it mean? Actually I think Rawat would find climbing Everest to be quite an adventure! He claims to have helped a lot of people... so who are these people ... these sword wielding, dragon slaying victorious beacons of fulfillment ..really? Any offers for candidates?
