Prem Rawat's father, the Perfect Master of his time married for the second time, late in his life to Raj Rajeshwari who became known as Mata Ji (Holy Mother) or Jagat Janani Mata Shri Raj Rajeshwari Devi and they had four sons. Until her husband and Satguru died, she tended to keep a low profile, but was nonetheless always busy, looking after her family, mahatmas, ashram residents and a steady stream of visitors.

At the funeral, she exhorted her sons, mahatmas and devotees: "Come and join me in taking an oath to follow the path laid down by our beloved Master! Let us do our best, to dedicate our all to spread the spiritual knowledge in India and abroad. Our every breath will be spent for the sake of humanity and we will follow in Maharaj Ji's footsteps with faith and humility."

When Prem Rawat first came to the West his family was advertised as also having divine characteristics. They were called the Holy Family and all of them were claimed to be incarnations of aspects of the Divinity.

Prem Rawat has since claimed that his family had never accepted him as the true Perfect Master despite their years of public satsang and worship.⁵  one of his closest followers, Glen Whittaker, claimed they were only interested in the money⁶. However, Prem Rawat made no such public admissions while his family were publicly supporting him and this is another example of the culture of deceit and phony public relations of his organisations. As shown in DLM's official letters of 2004 his family actually thoguht he was under the "control" of some his close Western followers and tried to "rescue" him with the help of the LA police force during the night of 2004/11/23. Prem Rawat wrote a letter of apology to his mother but she rejected his explanation that he was just a puppet in his Guru Maharaji's power.⁶ 

For nearly a decade from 1966 Mata Ji had control of Divine Light Mission while her youngest son, Prem Rawat was still at school at St Joseph's Academy. At the first opportunity and in defiance of his mother, he concentrated all his energies in the West and was able to escape her control.

She was angered when her second youngest son married a beautiful Western devotee. This marriage ended in divorce but has provided Hollywood with a successful, exotic young actress. It will be wonderfully ironic if she becomes more famous than her uncle, the former "Lord of the Universe" and "Revealer of God".

It's pretty obvious from which parent Navi Rawat got her looks. Raja Ji also had alcohol abuse problems and his wife divorced him after only a few years of marriage. He occasionally does trips around premie communities shilling for money for various of his younger brothers' needs usually accompanied by a "student", Yoram, who is Rawat's chief fund-raiser.
