Read all about it... Hungary could become as successful as Cuba.  Amaroo is boring ..finally its official. Prisoners to face enforced Rawat DVD viewings .  40 years on and ..would you believe it?...premies still just can't get organising events right?  it must be those damned fixed conceptual templates again.  Well thank heavens for clever old Rawat, the seven SAMT and a brand new approach.  Yup...its a football-pitch sized  intercontinental inflatable air hall for Rawat to drag between India and Amaroo.    more self parodying nonsense best Tim Email not displaying correctly?

Maharaji in the UK Last Friday Maharaji was in the City of London attending a Prem Rawat Foundation function www.tprf.org It was a great success and further details will follow later this week. Knowing he was briefly in town, those attending a combined donor/ Helpers meeting the next day, took the opportunity to invite him to join them. He responded by attending for about 95 minutes. Here are the highlights as recollected by several of the attendees. How Events are Arranged: He initially started speaking about events, saying that there needs to be a change of approach. • He used the recent Barcelona event as an illustration. When people were told it would not be a public event, they automatically assumed it was for people with Knowledge only and aspirants were not included. Why do we resort to fixed, conceptual templates rather than using common sense? • The Keys provide a wonderful foundation, and his live events need to be a synchronised extension. He’s observed that when aspirants watching the Keys hear him in person it all clicks. • He mentioned that in Amaroo, a more comprehensive schedule will be developed so that people don’t spend so much time hanging around the Pavilion getting bored. He described a full-day’s schedule starting at 9am and concluding around 5pm. • Events should be restructured to use time more effectively. He mentioned a new style of event comprising sessions for aspirants, at which people who have received Knowledge could listen as well; live Knowledge reviews for people recently completed Key 6; expressions; Q and A events; public events. • Events can be a life-changing experience – so the focus needs to be on content rather than convenient timing. • We can’t keep doing events only in the same places. In the States, it’s LA and Miami and in England it’s London and Birmingham. He would like to go to other places, even if the venue only holds 200 people. People in India are touched when he does events in their villages. It can make a big difference for people when he comes to their own town. • Events will soon start both in Europe and Nth America. When asked ‘How did you enjoy yesterday’s TPRF function?’ • I really enjoyed this event……I almost felt important………Yesterday’s event reflects quite an evolution from the time I first came to England with only £25 in my pocket (that was all the Indian government would allow you to take out). He reminisced that at that time, the transportation resource amounted to a lady and her maroon two-door Cortina. Now we have a solid foundation of resources globally. • …more on this later in the week What can we do to help you? He described a twin-walled, portable air-structure. This is an enclosed space which is held up by pumping temperature-controlled air through it. The structure could hold an event for up to 7,000 people. A similar one has just been installed by the Miami Dolphins and encloses a full football pitch. It could be used in Amaroo when the weather gets too severe, or set up in a field in India, where in addition to providing a comfortable temperature, it ensures privacy for Knowledge reviews. He could address one group on one day then hold a similar event with another group the next. The whole structure can be shipped in containers from continent to continent. Other points: • The power of the message: DVDs are being used in one country by the police force in rehabilitation programmes. He also said the DVDs are being enjoyed by prisoners around the world. • He spoke of the new magazine ADI. People who see the magazine either love it or hate it. It is the first magazine that has been produced that does not look like it belongs in a hospital or doctor’s surgery or has the appearance of promoting new medical procedures! He would like to see more of the same. • When Maharaji was packing to come to England, he watched a good documentary on hippies and their concepts of “utopia”. Some of their concepts were good and some bad. Utopia is not a place where you are free of all your responsibilities. Utopia/heaven is here. It’s not a place, but a feeling we carry in every breath. • Maharaji spoke about Keys distribution. Every country needs to develop according to their unique requirements. The way it needs to be done in India is different to America, which again is different to West Africa. • He would still like to travel to Cuba this year. • Service Area Managers Training (SAMT). Training sessions have so far happened in the US and Australia and will come to Europe soon. The recent participation event in Malibu to which Maharaji made a surprise visit was the first event organised using the SAMT approach. Eventually, SAMT will pervade every aspect of participation. It will evolve in its own way according to each country’s needs. • Someone spoke about the challenges of starting outreach in Hungary with only two people. Maharaji reminded him there is no need to struggle (unless you enjoy pain) when there are so many resources close by, available to help. • Similarly there are many places around the world that have huge potential and enthusiasm, but lack resources. Mozambique for example has the growth potential to be as successful as Cuba.     You are receiving this email because you opted in at our website.

I can't imagine anything MORE boring.

On top of his usual emissions. He must have replanted the Amazon by now. He's so in tune, so wise. Previous Recommend Current page Next "I almost felt important".... Re: uk cult news -- tommo Top of thread Archive Posted by: Cynthia ® 06/06/2007, 06:53:21 Author Profile Alert Forum Admin This isn't anything new.  Rawat got some bad press, so he feels like he isn't in control.  So, what does he do?  He comes up with more hair-brained ideas to rein people into his control. Why?  Because the public accusation that he runs a cult isn't his fault, and he's got to think up more ways to denigrate his followers because the bad publicity has got to be the fault of everybody around him because Rawat is just so perfect.  The perfect narcissist. Now he wants a Big Top for Amaroo!  Kind of fits in with his "Dr. Lord's Circus" UGH!

Re: "I almost felt important".... -- Cynthia Top of thread Archive Posted by: lesley ® 06/06/2007, 14:58:14 Author Profile Alert Forum Admin I wonder if any of his followers almost felt important oh well, spose by reflected glory they did. No really there he is not surprising us by going on about how much richer he is now and how much better that makes him feel.....what about seeing the faces of those people who were there the first time and are still there now, can that not make him feel better? No it can't premies. Never will - berating you for a lack of loyalty makes him feel better. As Karen pointed out below, he doesn't talk about his experience of meditation and he doesn't talk about how the devotion of his followers makes him feel either. hmmm , wasn't satsang supposed to be speaking the truth of your own experience?

Can't see Maharaji having meditated much at all since daddy died - he's not likely to have done at least an hour each morning and night like us mere mortals were expected to do. Doubt if he bothers one jot nowadays. He just cracks open another bottle of breakfast. http://www.lulu.com/content/757452 My book on Maharaji -  BRAINWASHED!

He described a full-day’s schedule starting at 9am and concluding around 5pm." Well they probably wouldn't admit it if they were asked but I'm prepared to accept Rawat's ideas on this. But maybe he means the aspirants who don't have the techniques of the possibility of peace revealed to them yet. "The Keys provide a wonderful foundation, and his live events need to be a synchronised extension. He’s observed that when aspirants watching the Keys hear him in person it all clicks." How could he possibly know that the people in the audience are watching the Keys? Well, maybe they only invite or allow in people who say they're watching the Keys. However, as propagation is a dud maybe what's clicking is the idea "What am I doing here? How can I get out of here without being embarassed?" Previous Recommend Current page Next
