The Birthday Party of The Yuga by Vic Marsh. "When he left the stage it was like my life was leaving me, and I could feel that the reason why we love Maharaj Ji is because he is our heart. We aren't made complete and perfect, and all the emotions and feelings we try to put in place of that perfect love are futile and stop-gap measures, hopelessly inadequate to fill that emptiness of separation from him."	1
Birthday Satsang Guru Maharaj Ji's satsang at the Miami Beach Convention Centre on his birthday, Monday 10th of December, 1979. "To me this entire Earth is created for devotees and Guru Maharaj Ji. That's the purpose. When Guru Maharaj Ji comes, the devotees come. Then there is a meaning to those apple trees. Then there is a meaning to this whole universe. Without that it's aimless. It's senseless."	4
When Time Stops Guru Maharaj Ji's satsang at Hans Jayanti, Kissimmee, Florida, on the afternoon of Thursday 8th of November, 1979. "This is the occasion, this is the moment, that every soul is born for: to be with Guru Maharaj Ji. And for that moment to be fulfilled, that is the destiny of this life as far as I'm concerned."	7

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.
