Well not quite as the TPRF press release shows:
http://tprf.org/Prem_Rawat_press_releases/Prem_Rawat_honored_san_francisco.htm
Well June 16, 2005 in San Francisco was named "Prem Rawat Day". So your local team is either ignorant, lying or both. I go for both.
So you're saying Words of Peace is showing on your local porno channel? What does that translate into Danish as Ord i Wee?

The proclamation that Rawat got was meaningless. It is simple to get and does not involve any kind of real offical recognition. In light of a recent proclamation issued to a porn studio for its 40 years of illustrious work in San Francisco, the mayor is going to have some involvement in these things from now on. But he certainly had nothing to do with the one Rawat got. Read the local press about this. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/03/03/BAGJ2OEMTH1.DTL

very heartening I am sure! lol since June 16th is my birthday, I was not very happy to rad about it becoming "his" day, but it makes me laugh now to think of how insignificant the honor is when a gay porn studio can get a day as well!

From that link, I found this gem... Q: Does Self-Knowledge require an effort? PR: It does. To say: “Yes, I take the responsibility for this breath. I take the responsibility for enjoying every single breath,” takes an effort. If life wasn't tough enough, now we are personally responsible for every single breath. Forget the autonomic nervous system - if we forget to breathe now, we are in deep shiite!

Hi Annie, I enjoy reading your posts and you have a sweet heart. Here's a few more words about Prem Rawat's breath. Thanks for responding. "Prem Rawat Day" indeed.

Hi Silvia, No I didn't receive it, maybe it was someone else. nmfk

Nomorefootkissing, you do realize don't you, that by saying something nice about me, you have opened me up to the sin of pride - so now I will have to go to confession and do penance for my vanity - lol!! I learned enough Catch-22s under rawat to last a lifetime. If something good happened, it was his grace but if something bad happened it was probably because we were in our "minds". I reminds me a little of an old lady I lived with when I was 20. She was a fundamentalist Christian who attended a church where they did faith healing, so I asked her why god wasn't healing her arthritis. She told me that she obviously didn't have enough faith! I felt very sorry for her because if she was healed, then god got the credit, but if she wasn't, then she got the blame -- so very rawat. Now before any Christian fundamentalists take offence, I only state this to point out how hard it is for us poor humans sometimes - not to criticize anyone in particular. So, in reply to your kind words, nmfk, I will just say thank you for posting something from rawat that was so easy to pull apart! He is always d*mned by his own words.

Hi Annie, You are a kind, thoughtful, smart, and wonderful person who in is not ashamed at expressing your thoughts. Also, you are a person who cares about others while at the same time cares for and respects herself deeply. Someone who still has a love in her heart through faith for her truth. There, now go do some more penance! Just kidding. nmfk.

But really, as she said, she had so little faith, she had so little self-confidence but she had so many concepts, so many ideas, so many beliefs about her husband:
Pranam Guru Maharaj Ji!
Pranam to your beautiful lotus Feet.
You know, I feel such incredible Grace to be here right now. I
feel like I would explode if my Guru Maharaj Ji didn't give me this
beautiful Grace, this opportunity to tell him that I love him, tell
him - I can't even say tell him .. . Just somehow try to express in
the smallest, smallest way what he has done for me, what he is doing
for me and what I know he will do for me.
Over and over we all come up here and say, how can we sing the
praises of Guru Maharaj Ji? And yet ... we must. We must. Just like
this breath that comes into us, we must let it go back, we must give
it back.
Guru Maharaj Ji was giving satsang to the initiators and he said,
"No-one ever refuses to accept the breath that I give." We
don't even think about it. We accept it very readily. We also give it
readily. It's just such a subtle thing that it slips our minds
completely - and we go off, and we do all these things.
I know that all of us, if we really connect to Guru Maharaj Ji,
experience such a beautiful thing. Although we experience it
individually, we experience it simultaneously - really a flow that
happens. When everyone is experiencing Guru Maharaj Ji's kindness, we
all experience that kindness, if we're really trying to be plugged in
to Guru Maharaj Ji. And when we experience his mercy we all ... Guru
Maharaj Ji's mercy, that's just what I'm experiencing.
Or now, it seems like we're experiencing the need to have faith in
Guru Maharaj Ji. I know my faith is so small and yet I feel like:
Maharaj Ji please, somehow, I know you can, because you can do
everything. Please let me know it, please let me believe it. please
let me have faith in that. Because you can - you can do anything, you
are doing everything. Why do I have such little faith? Why do I keep
wanting to do things my own way? And they never turn out right -
never turn out right, you know?

Question: A person in your position will be described or defined by many people. How would you describe yourself? Prem Rawat: I’m me. I am a human being. Many things have been said about me. Many of these things have come from people’s own emotions, good or bad. I’m proud to be a human being. I am very happy that I have this life. I am also happy that I can feel joy and pain like everyone else. I’m happy being me. Some people would love to put labels on me, but I am just me. The above statement by Rawat is hilarious when you consider what he said about himself here: http://www.ex-premie.org/gallery/god_claims.htm and here: http://www.ex-premie.org/papers/mastergod.htm

Good one Steve! Thank you for catching and posting that. Prem Rawat could easily be called a liar. (Then and Now) And here is Merriam-Webster's definition of a hypocrite... 1 : a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion 2 : a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings

But if you want truly mind boggling lies and hypocrisy from him you really have to go with this video link. Maharaji gave this satsang on his arrival at the Houston airport. When he left, the garlands that had been laid around his neck were ripped apart and distributed to the adoring premies as prasad. "This is just about the time that everybody comes together and understands who is God because I guess there have been too many of these phoney things going around these world. Ah, messes like Watergate and things like that but it's just not America, it's right around the world, you can't just blame just one country for it. And I guess this is just about time that everybody gets together and understands who is God because it's important that people know God by now, at least." (knowing laughter in crowd) Incredible isn't it?

Hi Steve, YES... It is incredible! You hit the nail on the head again! And My gosh looking back at those people/premies that got the flowers from the Lord All Powerful at the airport. Yikes! That little bit of footage screams CULT just like the old darshan tunnels, with white envelopes, and the foot kissing that happened by Prem Rawat's grace. Prem Rawat... "but I am just me" I hate to say it but he sounds a little like popeye... "I am's what I am's and that's all that I am's" I wonder what he did with His famous Lord outfit & crown? There really should be an Introductory Key dvd/video about this stuff for Prem Rawat's new victims. I think that would be the only fair thing to do and what's wrong with a little honesty? Thanks Steve, nmfk
