After Hans Rawat reporting publicly on social media that he was sexually molested by his father when he was a child, Prem Rawat has been using the following gaslighting and spiritual manipulation technique included in his recent talks:

If someone recalls and reports something bad happened to them it means they are not “focused on the present” (which is according to the “knowledge” religious worldview the purpose of each human being)

He mentioned in one of his talks that we should focus on our breath because our breath comes to us each moment fresh and “not used not abused”.

For the person who is responsible for the abuse to say that, is a horrible gaslighting technique. In Rawat’s case the abuser has taken on the role of a “master” so he is using his “spiritual guidance” to make his followers feel guilty on a deep existential level if they consider the reports about Prem abusing his son , or report child abuse or any other abuse talking place in the organization.

Given that Rawat has access to children all over the world and most and foremost to his grand children, the abuse does not concern only the past but the present. 

That makes his strategy to make people not care about abuse even more dangerous because it allows him not only to get away with his past crimes but continue them in the present uncontrolled.
