"And It Is Divine" was the name of this colour magazine published by Divine Light Mission in the USA from November 1972 until the late 1970's when it was replaced by "Elan Vital." It began as a monthly magazine attempting to carry a wide spectrum of articles relating to the wider alternative culture with highbrow pretensions and ended the same as all other Divine Light Mission magazines printing pictures and speeches of Prem Rawat's or his immediate family or close followers.

Dear Reader Guru Maharaj Ji |  3 |
Every Heart Is Full Durga Ji's Satsang, Chevron Ballroom, Sydney, Australia, November 24, 1974 (Actually October 26, 1974) So now I think the best thing to do is to have everyone come up and have the darshan of Guru Maharaj Ji, to do pranam at his feet, and realize what he's truly giving us in this moment. Because, really, as you go to do pranam you're the most fortunate human being in this world. Thank you. |  6 |
Between Me And God Auckland, New Zealand on October 24, 1974 I was in Denver and finally I got the chance to be able to go through the whole organization, the subsidiaries and everything. It's so amazing. I mean, it's terrific. The potential of premies is too much. It's even too much to imagine what they can do. It's like an overnight job. See, this is the thing here: one and one usually make two. But not here. One and one make eleven. When it's a case of premies, one and one make eleven. |

Deganawida by Lucy Dupertuis But while the tyrant Tadodaho still controlled the Onondagas, the most powerful of all the tribes, the League had no chance. Deganawida told Hiawatha that he must learn to love even those he might have feared and hated most; the time had come to confront Tadodaho directly. The tyrant is said to have looked like a monster, twisted in mind and body, with thoughts so evil they grew out of his head as snakes. Deganawida and Hiawatha approached him lovingly, singing. With haughtiest contempt Tadodaho had watched Hiawatha slinking off into the forest after the murder of his last daughter. |

Shining Like Pearls Satsang of Shri Hans Ji Maharaj In reality the glories of Guru Maharaj Ji cannot be described. By simply remembering Guru Maharaj Ji, all difficulties go away and for this reason all saints and mahatmas salute Guru Maharaj Ji first. When in the heart of a disciple the nails of Guru Maharaj Ji's feet start shining like pearls, then he has divine vision by which the darkness of ignorance is removed. |

Love Guru Maharaj Ji "Once you receive this Knowledge your heart leaps and is so much filled with devotion and love. Love, not towards this materialistic world, but love towards God, who is your real Father whom you have forgotten and whom you must realize." |  39 |
Many thanks to those who made these texts available for publication on the internet.
Prem Rawat's "Knowledge" has three parts: regularly listening to his speeches, doing voluntary work for organisations serving him or donating money and daily meditation correctly practicing the four techniques he recommends. The techniques are so simple it's hard to see how they could be practiced incorrectly. First technique ("Divine Light") involves sticking your thumb and middle finger on your eyeballs (NB: with eyes closed) and your index finger between your eyebrows. Second technique: ("Heavenly Music") poking your thumbs into your ears and listening. Third technique: ("Holy Name") thinking about your breathing (NB: continue to breathe). Fourth technique: ("Nectar") curling your tongue backwards and tasting. Rawat's father taught slightly different techniques but either way it's difficult to see how these could produce the benefits claimed for them especially as Rawat claims His Knowledge is the only method of attaining real happiness and love in this life.
