Where is Guru Maharaj Ji?

If you see this man
Please contact the Fifth Estate immediately (831-6800). This man has been positively identified as the mystic who ruthlessly attacked a Fifth Estate reporter for exposing the 16-year-old Guru Maharaji Ji as a fraud last August. This person, a high-ranking priest, Mahatma Fakiranand, almost killed our reporter to prove his love for his "true perfect master". Any information as to the whereabouts and activities of this dangerous man will be greatly appreciated.

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.
