Nothing new here, but I am really curious as to how old premies rationalize this dynamic. I am also curious as to how those that are coming to him now perceive him. Are they seeing him an one would see any sort of new-age spiritual teacher, like say, a Byron Katie, Wayne Dyer, Oprah, etc? Is the Perfect Master myth still driving the bus for newcomers?
Love some fresh input on this.
Not sure how fresh this is, but I have come across a few new ones over the last 20 years or so.
I met quite a few who were told not to talk with 'old' premies in their sessions.
I came across a couple who didn't know anything about the pm stuff. They just thought prem rawat was 'good bloke'.We just discussed meditation.
Also judging from what I know from the past , I think 'knowledge sessions' were/are made to suit the audience.
For example, I had a friend in LA who got knowledge circa 86/7. I was really surprised because he was/is an orthodox Jew.
I asked him about the session and he said there was no bowing to pictures or deifying of rawat. He really didn't know what I was talking about. For him it was just a meditation teacher.
As for the old premies , they just hang on to believing he is the LOTU. There is no rationalization with them.
Those that were truth seekers left, the remainers keep on mutually masturbating with each other on the subject and look at at old dvds(which were meant to be destroyed...tut tut).
That's all for now.
Take care.
