4 Develop a Superhuman Nature Interview with Bal Bhagwan Ji, eldest brother of Guru Maharaj Ji, 8th March, 1974 Tasmania - by Rob Love, ABC announcer What exactly is a holy discourse, what exactly happens? Satsang means, the word "sat" means truth and "sang" means company, a lecture or maybe a holy discourse by which a man understands truth and he gets the explanation of truth by which he becomes more and more closer to truth is satsang.
6 & 8 A General Raising of Consciousness In Australia, Divine Light Mission is just beginning to make its presence known to the community at large. The Golden Age interviewed David Lovejoy, the General Secretary of the Australian DLM, on his return from New Zealand and asked where the Mission stood today. Well of course you could say it has; our number has grown from four to fourteen hundred or so, and satsang has spread from one dilapidated tenement in Sydney to all the major towns in the country. Inevitably in such an expansion, inessential features spin off and new ones evolve, but superficial change is no measure of our true direction.
6 Peace Meal And God said, Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food and ye shall cook much Pie of the Hunza and Chutney for in my Indian children's cuisine I am well pleased. - Genesis 1:29
7 The Beginning of the Golden Age
8 Follow The Master The world's scriptures, and lesser-known texts now coming to light, describe the experience called Knowledge revealed by great spiritual Masters. The quotations presented here illustrate this universal truth common to all scriptures; the universal truth that Guru Maharaj Ji reveals today. "Following a Perfect Master is a whole life thing. You are going to believe in him for ever, because perfect things last for ever". - Shri Guru Maharaj Ji

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.
