Words Of Peace International (WOPI)

By 2009 'Maharaji' had almost been put to bed and Élan Vital had not served its purpose so it was time to move on. never become a famous brand giving instant name recognition to either Prem Rawat or Maharaji and it was a bit klunky to explain its relationship to "Knowledge ©" or "Self Knowledge ©" so after 30 years of outreach failure it was time to decapitate and disembowel it. Rawat switched his major organisation and public outreach to the cloud under the title Words Of Peace Global, a foundation set up in Holland in 2008. The wealthiest of his Western followers are in the USA so in 2009 Words Of Peace International was created as a USA 501(c) public charity to which donations could be tax-deductable.

Mission Statement: The mission of Words Of Peace International [WOPI) is to promote and disseminate to the general public the message of peace as articulated by Prem Rawat. in 2015, the organization continued by to further its charitable and educational mission conducting events in the United States at which Prem Rawat spoke on his message of peace was communicated. Commencing in 2012, WOPI shifted its focus to furthering its charitable mission by raising funds and making charitable project grants to support the work of Words Of Peace Global (WOPG) and other charitable and educational organizations around the world that are promoting and disseminating Prem Rawat's message of peace.

So its basically a way US citizens can help finance his activities outside of the USA and keep their donations tax-deductible. Donations fell significantly since 2016 compared to the previous years but have remained at the same level since.
