Thank you Don. 

I think it worth stepping back to remind ourselves why - distasteful as it is - it is genuinely a service that you do in exposing this stuff - and that prembio does by keeping the historical files.  Because frankly I don't like reading it and generally I don't like salacious gossip.   

But the fact is that Prem Rawat is a public figure who for many years  has and continues to make his considerable wealth and career by retaining and attracting new  followers.  He claims to have some special insight, method and teachings that bring the possibility of personal peace and self-knowledge.  The credibility of this claim entirely depends upon his personal example -- in the 'spiritual' advice market that he operates in his own personal life is of core relevance and should stand clear and open to any reasonable level of scrutiny.  There should never ever have been a need for such a thing as an X rated premie.

Seriously -- would anyone even give the time of day to any supposed teacher of self-knowledge whose pitch ran along the lines of  ' I am a man  who acted out the part of Lord of the Universe/ Krishna while extorting the labour/ money/ inheritances as well as curtailing the careers and life-opportunities of my most dedicated followers who I hoodwinked into serving in my ashrams before I cut them all loose without a penny or thanks. I then pretended that noe of that ever happened and reinvented myself as a 'messenger of peace'.   I have a serious drink and anxiety problem and sometimes rage at/ bully and seek to humiliate members of my family and close follower.  I have been accused of enabling paedophiles within my organisation and even of interfering with my own son as well as feeding him drugs and alcohol as a young child.   But don't worry about any of that -- it is all just part of quaint traditional Indian family customs - a cultural thing.  So here we are again-  just keep listening to your breath,  attend my events, buy my books, listen to my talks and I will tell you about the possibility of peace - until your dying day.

Maybe something like the above could be included as a little disclaimer on TPRF or whatever Rawat inc's  current website is now?
