"Take a challenge.
Look up, look around, look within.
Acknowledge and smile and laugh and praise.
Fulfillment is a reality, not a dream."
Maharaji

A personal, direct service opportunity
-> 1998 It has been quite a year. A record number of 20,062 people received Knowledge. In New Delhi, India, 4,520 received Knowledge in the biggest single session to date. Three-day international events were held in New Delhi, Miami Beach, Wembley and Kathmandu. Maharaji also made an extensive visit to West Africa, his first visit ever to Curacao and two visits to Japan.
In 1998, 155 new videos were produced and distributed to over 2,300 locations worldwide.
In North America there were three Knowledge Sessions and a Knowledge Review in Atlantic City. Events were also held in Long Beach, Miami Beach, Colorado Springs, Chicago and Montreal.
In Pasadena, California, history was made with the first live global satellite broadcast to 86,600 people in 173 locations in 50 countries.
Thank you for the vital role you play. Your contributions help make all this possible.-> 1999 As the numbers grow so does Elan Vital's challenge to support tours and events.
Each individual contribution is essential to growth not only in this country but around the world. These challenges are already coming into view.
Expanded world tours with more Knowledge Sessions are envisioned to respond to the growing number of aspirants. Also, Knowledge Centers form a special focus. Looking toward a possible international event in 1999, developments at Amaroo are heating up - increasing the campground capacity and amphitheater seating to 5,000, as well as improving roads, services and facilities.
Contributions received now will ensure a strong start toward meeting these challenges in 1999.
Each contribution you make becomes a part of that visit to Mauritius or that Knowledge Session in Abidjan. Your generosity helps fund international events, Knowledge Sessions, video production and distribution, and Knowledge Center development. Our contributions are a personal, direct service opportunity to participate in the magic of Maharaji's message encircling the globe and touching each one of us.
Simply put, our contributions are the harvest of our hearts.
Thank you again for your support in 1998. Best wishes for a joyful 1999.
