Andries,

Maharaji did not learn another profession than playing the guru until he had the money to become a pilot.

Maharaji is not a professional pilot!  Prem Rawat isn't a pilot by profession and never has been! 

He doesn't fly charters and he doesn't work for an airline.  In 1979, when I was working very closely with Maharaji at a secret project called DECA in Florida, the purpose of the project was to reconfigure inside and out a B707 jet aircraft just for Maharaji's PERSONAL and PRIVATE use.  It was during that time that he started doing his pilot training. I know because I WAS THERE! I remember the very day he went for his first training!

And, Andries?  He did not pay for the training himself!  The premies paid for it. And the REASON the premies were spending millions of dollars for that B707 jet and paying for his pilot training was for cult propagation only.  He's not a professional pilot.  That Prem Rawat is a certified jet pilot does not make him a professional pilot.
