3 Honeymoon In Meditation "So, dear premies, it's the Knowledge of God that is going to bestow peace and harmony on you, on your soul. So that Knowledge is the highest thing that a human being can ever get. And so, I think we should have Knowledge and we should meditate on this Knowledge because this Knowledge will unfold all secrets. It's going to reveal all the mysteries to us. Because this Knowledge is the key. Once you have the key you can open all doors. This is like a master key."
8 Copacabana Bliss From March 2nd to March 10th, Levi's Copacabana Bliss (Big Lefts Invitation Surf Show) entertained Australian beach crowds with a surfing contest run with a unique judging system which eliminated most of the fierce competition associated with title events and introduced more hot surfing and free expression. The sporting side was accompanied by lots of fun and games provided by the organizers, Divine Light Mission. Both Saturday nights were highlighted by dances and films and midweek saw the Full-Moon Fancy Dress Bliss on the beach promenade.

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.
