The Words of Peace website posted invitations to hear Rawat speak at a number "themed events."  Moreover, this if the first time I've heard of tickets being sold (approximate $30.00).  Apparently, the practice of a announcing that events are "free to the public" by pre-funding them with premie donations hasn't been working out so well.

Themes include:

One day would be enough

A journey to the self

The feeling of belonging

The timeless breath

An unopened gift

Surely to be filmed and released (as implied by the consent to be filmed and release clause in the ticket agreement).

I'm embarrassed to make such a trivial post... slinking off to get on with my day now...

thankfully free of pressure, belonging, journeying, ascribing manipulative guru mysteries to breathing and wondering who I owe gratitude, money and work to for the "gift" of being born.

Do you remember a themed event in the late 70's where rawat promised if we attended he would kill our mind? in Miami

To the best of 69 year old recollection,  It was Marolyn, then masquerading as Durga Ji, who told us about the upcoming Guru Puja and how much Rawat wanted us all to show up.  She then teased it by saying Rawat had told her that after this cult fest the mind would be out.

I don't remember, but I'm sure I watched the VHS version before the DVD era!  Late seventies for me meant Hans Jayanti's in Kissimee and a Holi's in the Orange Bowl... and ashrams and all the crap that happened in those things.

Lakeshore-here's a story from the Miami College incident from the thread below….

During the weekend event just before the college program, rawat had 2 programs in Miami, on 2 separate days….
According to my friend who was an usher, the first program was only moderately attended, and they used the customary "pipe and drape" configuration to hide the empty seats, as rawat has expressly declared that he wants to see "no empty seats" at a program….it bothers him…looks bad in the videos too...
So, the first program goes moderately well, but as the 2nd program the next day starts to fill up, they realize that attendance will be far below the first days mediocre showing, as many premies had already had enough rawat, and had left town…
So, an emergency call goes out to hordes of local Miami premies that they are desperately needed to come and usher for the 2nd program…this is an "emergency service" request, and everyone is needed, pronto!
As local premies rushed to the program, they were informed that they weren't needed after all, but they were welcome to attend the 2nd program, free, since they were already there anyway!
Voila!... problem solved, no empty seats, rawat is moderately happy and not angry, no honcho heads roll, premies get a freebie, and no one is the wiser….

The next day, they flooded the campus of the college, and tried to make it look like college students were catching on to the message and requesting him to speak…actually, it was premies who asked the college to ask rawat to speak, and they never fully knew the scam, until some ex-premies clued them in…EPO activism at it's best…

Gotta hand it to this perfect master, er, uh, speaker….he and those premies, they're a clever bunch...

Makes me shake my head at how easily we sold out our basic values of honesty and right and wrong.  Suddenly telling people about the Lord trumped and negated respect for others.  World peace...

I was curious in part because I was a friend of a premie who worked/works at a fairly high level at a college in Miami, a great fellow but like so many zealot premies, fully capable of cooking up a scheme like that.

Thanks for the story -- can't fault us for our spirit in those days!
