Prem Rawat in New Delhi, Nov. 2004: 

 "I have been working on the Keys since August to make it a lot easier to receive Knowledge no matter where you are.  I have been working on the recording, editing and the music. And just a few days ago the recording was finally finished. Once they are ready, the process will be become a lot easier. It will be good for people without much time. 
No matter where people are they will be able to use the Keys.
The Keys give equal attention to all points: satsang, service and practice and the importance of the master.

The first thing is for premies to see the Keys so they can make their commitment to Knowledge and to enjoying it.

I think propagation is going to take a new turn. I just can't go to all the places any more. There just isn't the time. This doesn't mean I won't be attending events in the future. I will still continue to attend events so that I can talk to you and the public.

But with these Keys, propagation will take on a new form and will increase all around the world. There will be Knowledge teams all around the world and Knowledge sessions will be very easily accessible.

So let's see what's ahead."

Yes, indeed, let's see what's ahead with this new propagation tool.  There will be contact people to talk to, namely the "Knowledge Team" in your area, and they will supply you with videos of Rawat explaining the main tenets of his teaching.  Mostly, it will be you in your own home watching hours and hours of videos of Rawat talking.

Will this work?  Will lot's of people get acquainted with the possibility of Knowledge, follow through with the Keys program, receive Knowledge, and then do what Rawat wants -  which is to dedicate the rest of their lives to practicing Knowledge with him as their Master?

My prediction is that this new tool will fail badly.  Rawat doesn't seem to understand that the videos lack the magic, at least for most people.  People don't really want to hole up privately with their television-inspirational-speaker and then meditate an hour every day.  That is just so dry.   It's almost like school, being assigned to watch a series of lessons on television.  It's just not the same warm and fuzzy process as satsang in the 70's or even the process that Surv and others went through in the 80's.

But I agree with Rawat about one thing - we will just have to wait and see how it works out.
