>why they don't release these after the programs?<
Well, always allowing for the cult opos simply being useless and having no idea how to manage media relations -
My guess is that there is no expectation that these "Press Releases" will ever be picked up by any journalist, the purpose is simply to create more material for search engines to hit on.
The 'publishing' dates for the releases, if they are indeed planned, are likely being set on the basis of a 'propogation strategy'. In the most recent cases it's all part of 'the next step forward' following the Amaroo event when the great mass of premies, energised by darshan will take miraji's message of peace out to the world - dinner parties and DVD cocktails for the target groups !
Ulitimately I suppose the whole ridiculous press release charade comes down to Rawat being too gutless to face a normal level of journalistic enquiry - any functional organisation would simply put a spokesperson or a focal speaker up for interview at every relevant point of media interest.
Can anyone imagine Gandhi or Martin Luther King putting out press releases months after the event so they could avoid questioning. Culture of Peace - Culture of Cowardice more like.
