One major problem with the Wiki article on Rawat is that there are a number of people editing it who have never known how Rawat promoted his message in the early days. And by attempting to deny the experience of those of us who were there, they are - quite justifiably - being accused of revisionism. Perhaps part of the trouble is that some of more active editors have never been exposed to the kind of ideas that Rawat actively promoted in those days. No doubt they might be shocked at what they read, if all they know is the more recent version of events that EV now propagates. Then again, they might not be. Let them decide for themselves. Here's Raja ji - the brother of Prem Rawat, speaking in 1977: QUOTE "Luckily we're all premies here and we can really openly talk about, you know, our problems. And the only problem 1 think every premie has is with his mind. Primarily the cause of all our confusion is our mind. The mind doesn't want to really get into it. And because the mind doesn't want to get into it, you know, it's like always a very good excuse for a certain thing. And Maharaj Ji has been giving so much focus lately just to this trust we should have in him. And just for the faith we should have in him. And that's, for me, the most important, to have that trust that, "Guru Maharaj Ji, you are really my Lord." Like, whatever we sing in Arti, you know, like "Guru Maharaj Ji, you are my father, you are my brother, you are my mother . . . superior power in person." If we really believe in that, if we really let it manifest in our lives, we'll be, I'm sure, in a very good position; we'll be really A-okay. But that has to really manifest, obviously, for us. And the only way that can manifest is that we have to really get into meditation. Meditation is really important. ... and that's all I have to say, that meditation is really the key to all our problems, to everything in the world. If you can only just really get into meditation, everything will be really beautiful. Because if you are really meditating, you will automatically complete the circle of satsang, service, and meditation, and will really come from that right place. And then only, when we go through that darshan line, we can really communicate with Guru Maharaj Ji. Even that one second we have, we can really communicate to him that we really love him, that we are really there, and we are really his devotees. We are his children, and all we can really do is try and try and try. And just try to make him happy. That's all there is in the world for us. Just try from our side, and whatever he does is fine then. And all we have to do is just really play our part in it. Just really meditate, and really realize in our lives, as much as we can. Guru Maharaj Ji. The only thing our life — the sole purpose of our being here, to serve that beautiful Lord, our Guru Maharaj Ji. And that's all I really have to say. Thank you very much". ENDQUOTE From excerpts of Raja Ji's Satsang at the Court of Love Retreat, September 3, 1977
