On May 24th, 1974, at 8 pm, Guru Maharaj Ji (Prem Rawat) was wedded to Marolyn Lois Johnson in a small chapel in the Colorado Rockies. When the ceremony was over, and Maharaj Ji and Marolyn began walking back, Maharaj Ji stopped and allowed Marolyn and a few other premies to kiss His feet. Yes, stopped and let his newly wedded wife and other guests kiss His feet, what a considerate husband and Master.

These audio clips were made from a copy of the "Wedding Video" that was overlooked during the destruction
of Divine Light Mission publications in the early 1980's. Unfortunately it was later destroyed by a zealous "student" of Prem Rawat's.
