Maharaji gave his first public address in the West at the Conway Hall in London on the 19th June, 1971. He also spoke at a large rock festival at Glastonbury in the south-west of England. He was filmed during this speech and part of his speech was released in the Elan Vital 'Passages' video. Mick Brown in his book "The Spiritual Tourist" mentions that somewhat inappropriate speech. A longer section was included in a film made of the festival and a clip from that is available here and a longer clip is available at YouTube. In it he speaks of the imperishable "Knowledge of God" which he can give that is not available from sects and religions. "Every materialistic thing is perishable and after they have perished how will you know the God? The imperishable thing, you should know such a thing, that is imperishable, never will perish and that is the Holy Word, the Holy Knowledge of God and that is within you. But if the true God is equal for everyone like we say 'Bhagwan' in Hindi, 'God' in English, 'Allah' in Urdu, God is the same thing, that is Knowledge of God is same. If the formula H20 is the formula for water for everywhere that means that the flavour and the taste of water will be the same everywhere. If the God is equal, if the God is one and God is same then this Knowledge will be also equal and it cannot be attained by going into different sects and religions. That is within you and if you want to go you have only can with your bodies to the different sects and religions not that Knowledge but to go anywhere you need some money, some pounds to go the picture house you need some pounds for the picture of for anywhere you need some pounds. My pounds are the love and the devotion pounds that can only be attained by your bank. You have a bank in yourselves already, the money of love and devotion. Because I have got that Word, I have got that Knowledge, I have got that thing and I can say you all that I can help mankind and everybody of you by giving that Knowledge." "Because I have got that Knowledge, I have got that Knowledge, I have got that thing and I can say you all that I can help mankind and everybody of you by giving that Knowledge."
