As part of his attempts to promote a public image of himself as a respected and renowned internation teacher and philanthropist
Prem Rawat has used the full gamut of technqiues available to a wealthy person of dubious reputation.
He has had staff whose role has been to solicit "Keys to the City" and other "honours" from around the US and internationally. A partial list of these is available at his Foundation's web site. In recent years, a steady stream of Press Releases have been issued by his Press Relations team, none of which have ever been taken up by the mainstream press, let alone by quality newspapers of renown such as the New York Times or the London Times which haven't considered him worthy of mention since the days in which they debunked his claims to divinity and bringing "Peace to the World". One of the methods he uses is to hire halls at major universities, make a speech there to his followers and then advertise the speech as, for example, Prem Rawat address distinguished audience at Oxford University or Maharaji at Griffith University. They've also hired halls at The Australian Parliament House and ones useed by United Nations' Associations where for a relatively small cost, Prem Rawat can have his name linked to worthy causes. The Prem Rawat Foundation recently donated £25,000 so that Prem Rawat aka Maharaji could give a speech at the London Lord Mayor's Annual Appeal dinner.
