Thank You From Elan Vital, 2000 - The Life and Career of Prem Rawat

January 2001

Thank you for your generous contributions to Elan Vital and Visions International this past year. Your effort, like that of so many contributors, has been essential and always is greatly appreciated. Each expression of gratitude builds the foundation of support which continues to make the impossible possible. Some projects you supported last year:

Weekly, worldwide satellite broadcasts.
Auto Knowledge Sessions developed and used successfully in the United States, South Africa, Malaysia, India, Nepal and Mauritius.
32 Knowledge Sessions around the world in which a record 37,730 people received Knowledge.
Preparations for ongoing, annual international events in Amaroo.
Greater capacity for Maharaji to travel more extensively with improved range and to respond to invitations from people in many more parts of the world.

These exciting innovations have set the stage for 2001 to be even more ambitious and successful.

The schedule for this year is being developed around invitations from many more countries and cities where people look forward to the inspiration Maharaji brings in person. Plans are underway to broadcast satellite events more frequently with new materials and in a variety of formats, including introductory broadcasts, documentaries and live broadcasts. The Auto Knowledge Session opens up possibilities for vastly increased numbers of people to receive Knowledge in their own countries in an efficient and timely way. Preparations are being accelerated in Amaroo to host an event for 4,500 people perhaps as early as this spring, with space for as many as 2,600 people to stay on site.

Enclosed is a gift for you - an introductory publication for your own enjoyment and for the enjoyment of those people with whom you might like to share it. Once again, thank you for your participation. A lot of effort has been expressed by so many people this past year, and it is your heartfelt giving which makes all the difference.

Thank you!

Flourish. Be alive. Feel. Dance. Feel the gratitude.
This can be your life. This can be a journey.
Bring on clarity. Bring on wisdom. Bring on the Master.
You rest. Let the journey begin.

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.

Thank You From Elan Vital - 2000
