The Media at Millenium '73

It's only to be expected that when any person claiming to be an incarnation of God and actively promotes himself as about to bring in 1,000 years of peace on earth, hires the largest hall on the planet and invites tens of thousands of followers to join him in unveiling the details there will be a certain degree of media attention.

However if your only plan is getting people to squeeze their eyes and ears, poke their tongues backwards, concentrate on their breath and worship you, then the press may change from skeptical to downright dismissive and rude. Millenium produced the greateset quantity of publicity that Prem Rawat has ever received and it was all pretty well identical. Everyone thought he was a ridiculous incompetent though some reporters had a few nice things to say about some of his followers.

Some newspapers also had stories about Millenium '73.
