"One who desires to have happiness without devotion is a great fool. To reach real happiness by other means is like trying to cross the ocean without a boat. Devotion is a most precious diamond. One who has this diamond in his heart knows not even the slightest misery."
- Param Hans Satgurudev Shri Hans Ji Maharaj 		#########

Guru Maharaj Ji's Satsang at the Holi festival, Marbella, Spain, Sunday, April 29, 1979

"This is our time. This is an opportunity for all of us. Can I say that it has been given by Guru Maharaj Ji? Well, so has everything been given by Guru Maharaj Ji. Not only this opportunity but this life has also been given by Guru Maharaj Ji to us."		 #########4
Initiator Satsang

Wow! I just know that this body was made to have this experience. I don't think it was made for any other experience. And these eyes are just to see that glorious sight of Guru Maharaj Ji. These ears are just to hear Guru Maharaj Ji. These lips are just to kiss his Feet. This heart just beats for Guru Maharaj Ji. Because really there's just no other experience in this world. There's just nothing else. This world is empty without this experience. This life is completely useless without Guru Maharaj Ji. It's such a divine experience. Guru Maharaj Ji is. Such a beautiful experience. So beautiful. I just know that the purpose for this life is loving Guru Maharaj Ji, is feeling that love of Guru Maharaj Ji, being filled with that love of Guru Maharaj Ji. 		#########18
Guru Maharaj Ji's Satsang at the Guru Puja festival, London, June 22, 1979

Guru Maharaj Ji is here. The Perfect Master is here. There's no doubt about it. Otherwise this world would have had it a long time ago. But that Guru Maharaj Ji comes in this world to save it. Because there is definitely a desperate need in this world to be saved. Every person is crying to be saved. And yet even if they don't know, that's what they want. Everybody wants love. Everybody pursues love in their own different ways. And yet, the real love they want is the love that only Guru Maharaj Ji can give them. The true love that they are looking for is only what Guru Maharaj Ji can really bring to them. All this happiness and pleasure pursuits and wishful thinking - every day we go through that. Only Guru Maharaj Ji can make it happen. Only Guru Maharaj Ji can make it possible.		 #########22

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.
