Something BIG is happening.  Maharaji has expressed a new determination to see his message spread throughout the West.

Thus  creating lots of opportunities for premies to 'have fun' , to participate and to participate financially..

600 premies raised £20,000 at a  Londoin November participation meeting..  More similar meetings are planned all around the country.  There are opportunities to buy DVDs by the ton (£27 per 100 ) as well as stands,  plastic dispensers to put them in ad also the opportunity to participate by distributing them  into libraries, health food shops etc.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Afternoon of Inspiration & Fun

Please put these Dates in your Diary

Following the success of the November meeting in London, we are planning a series of similar regional events during March and April all round the country. In light of Maharaji declaring this to be the year of participation we thought it appropriate to offer an even broader spectrum of input, inspiration, presentations and fun.

So I’d like to warmly invite you to one (or more) of the following events. More details of the afternoon will follow later, but you can expect some or all of the following:

  • DVD’s of recent events with Maharaji not seen before

  • Live speakers including me, regional helpers, Peter Dawson, Sandy Collier, Peter Lee, and people from your neck of the woods

  • Updates from the resources team on Maharaji’s plans and how you can help support them

  • Live music

  • Information & presentations on

    • Propagation in the UK and Internationally

    • Participation opportunities where you live

    • How you can help financially
    • Materials

    • …and lots more

I hope you can join us for an afternoon designed to please, inspire and inform. The event in November was a huge success. Not only did more than 600 people attend but over £20,000 was raised.

I am off to the filming of the participation training that Maharaji has been talking about recently. I will get back to you on my return with further news.

Do pass this message on to anyone you think may be interested. Everyone is welcome, though clearly this is not intended to be an introductory event. There’s no doubt about it, this promises to be the most exciting year ever.

Hope to see you in spring.
Warmest regards

Launch of the London DVD Project, February 2007

Dear friend,

We now have the means to pass on Maharaji’s message in a simple and easy way with the new low cost (27p each) introductory DVDs – called ‘Designed for Joy’. To make a real difference in reaching out to people beyond our own circle of acquaintances, London has made a bulk order of 17,500 DVDs.

The plan is to distribute these DVDs for anyone to pick up from participating shops, cafes, clubs and anywhere else we can persuade to take a DVD dispenser!

Here’s how you can help – if you wish:

? Be a distribution helper:
o either by joining one of the teams already set up in East, North, Northwest or South London
o or by distributing in your local area

? Obtain supplies of DVD’s from local distribution contacts – there’s one in your area (see list below) – or come early and pick them up at events

? Purchase dispensers and stands from wordsofpeace.net

? You can also get a useful information brochure from us or at London events, to give to the shop or cafe owner so they can see what it’s about

? Read the ‘how to..’ leaflet available at London events or from us
? To help support the project on a regular basis, fill out a Standing Order available.  If some people do this it will greatly improve our chances of reaching a slice of London’s 7,500,000 residents!

A simple idea which has been demonstrated to be effective! The beauty is: there’s no limit on how many people take part. We look forward to answering any questions you may have – don’t hesitate to contact us.

Warmest wishes from

Helena Brown 020 8761 3049
Divya Parekh 0781 510 9287 / 020 8452 2259

(London Helper Team)

List of London DVD distribution contacts 28.1.07

Please phone first giving 24 hours notice and if you can make a contribution please have the right money ready!
Suggested contribution: £3 per 10 or £27 per 100 DVDs

 That's not a bad price for blank DVD's.

Any Premola CDs or books I see in any public place that I frequent could end up getting a little decorative help - a sticker, maybe, with an attractive blue sky/fluffy cloud background, a brief but thoughtful and intelligent quote with a Freedom From Religion theme - and perhaps the EPO URL, just to help the thought process....

Apart from the obvious question "Participation in What ?", the triumphalist presentation of 'has declared' - shades of Mao ! and a rather uncomfortable sense that it all sounds a bit like "Arbeit Macht Frei" coupled with "Strength Through Joy", that formula "year of" is just way too hoary.

Still amongst Google's 63 million "year of" links, this one at least seemed to fit with Rawat using it:

Year of Google Search:

How many other "participation" years have there been?

I lost count.  Every year is going to be "the year" that things are really going to start happening.  How exciting. 

"Participation" is what the cult used to call "service."  Since that's the case, I really thing the DECA years, the years of the premie slave camp in Florida, building Rawat's Boeing 707 with the gold toilet was the REAL "year of Participation."  It was the ultimate example of Rawat's exploitation of human beings for his own desires.

By the way, Joan Didion's book, the Year of Magical Thinking is a wonderful book, as is pretty much everything Joan Didion writes.  I remember 20 years ago reading "Slouching Towards Bethlehem and the Book of Common Prayer.  They were part of my deprogramming from the cult.

Joe,

I also loved Didion's Year of Magical Thinking.  I recommend to anyone, but especially for anyone who's grieving a loss -- new exes, too.

It's pretty certain that Rawat has acquired a new jet.  It would be nice if someone besides "philadelpha freedom," would confirm that, "pf" somewhat confirmed my speculations about it recently.  These propagation surges have always been about something Rawat wants that's big and expensive.

thanks Cynthia, Joe, Nik

I think I will give that book a try.  It looked intriguing from the link.

It will be fun to see if your guess about the jet is right.  There does indeed seem to be growing emphasis on the opportunities for financial participation and I suspect a tour (with its usual front seat sponsorship opportunities) is imminent.  Ah the sweet freedom !   not a penny or a moment will I waste on it this year

best

Tim
