| Getting Together
Maharaji's appearance at all six "information sessions" came as a surprise to us all, as he stood informally at the front of the room answering questions. At the information session entitled "Resources," he said that it is people, not just world leaders, who are going to make the difference in this world. He then invited those of us with a desire to participate in his work to write him and let him know in what way we would like to do so. "And if you don't know what to put under the heading 'resources,' then just write 'ME!'." He also encouraged people to become involved by working closely with the instructor in their area and in making a contribution to the quality of what happens at the local level. |

| Looking Ahead / International Scene
At each stop on his European tour, Maharaji found the halls full or overflowing. Some 3,000 met with him in Wembley, England, on Friday, September 13. This meeting was described by some of those present as "lively, provocative, relevant." |

| Personal Letter From Prem Pal Singh Rawat |
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.
