From Wikipedia: > In 1980, Rawat's activities included the development of an executive jet refurbishing facility known as DECA. The first project was the customization of a Boeing 707 for his work. During 1981, Rawat flew the 707 to South America, Europe, India, Nepal, Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia. He visited forty different cities and spoke on 120 occasions.  < The reference given is the Cagan book and the inference is clearly that DECA was a legitimate operation. Anyone have any memories of 1981 - did the 707 get used ? Did his 40 city visit involve using the 707 or did he just clock up 40 cities in total in 1981 ? Nik

I was running some ground handling with Paul Griffin on the European leg. I can not confirm 40 cities but the plane certainly came from the States, went to London, India and the Pacific. I do not recall South Africa but it is more than possible. 40 cities would be achievable on a world tour. I imagine domestic USA is included. Peter As an after thought, I am sure they threw in fuel stops in the calculations!

In this scene, which looks like it was filmed in the Kissimee swamp in Florida, Guru Puja 1978, the devotees of Prem Rawat filed between two ranks of chosen "devoted devotees" to inspire them before they entered the tunnel and walked along a blue carpet through the dark to the throne on which Prem Rawat sat accepting their kissing of his feet and their "dedication envelopes" in the ritual of "darshan". Can you please fix it?  thanks Previous Recommend Current page Next Re: OT to ocker Re: OT to ocker -- Axis Top of thread Archive Posted by: Cynthia ® 05/31/2007, 08:00:42 Author Profile Alert Forum Admin Another correction would be that the Kissimmee swamp week long festivals, both 1978 and 1979 were not Guru Pujas, they were Hans Jayanti fests, held in November (Shri hans b-day was November 9th).

I will fix.
