Hi 13, thanks for that post. Here's my take on it.:On Friday June 30th., Maharaji attended a UK propagation meeting
I heard about a major donor's meeting that happened on this date, at Gatwick. Most of the people invited were, erm .... major donors. They get invited and given this special treatment as a reward for their generous donations, and as an encouragement to continue giving a lot of money to Rawat. So the next time he visits they'll get another chance to attend an "exclusive meeting" and be part of that special club.
We tried to include some people from cities all over the UK, but as numbers were restricted inevitably not everyone could be there on the day.
Major donors took precedence over premies doing propagation service. The only non-donors/non-wealthy premies were those who had some influence to get in.
If you are reading this and were not at the meeting I can understand if you are a little disappointed. It would have been nice for absolutely everyone to have been there...
Tough s**t if you're not wealthy!
He (Rawat) gave a PPT presentation - showing some Do's and Don'ts, Traps....
Traps:- trying to identify problems can create problems
Lol, this is sooo funny! Surely identifying problems is the first step towards ironing them out and solving them, for goodness sakes! Has M really learnt so little after all his mistakes over the years? No wonder propagation is such a failure... what a joke! Although I'm pleased that this is the case and it's reassuring to know that Rawat is still utterly incompetent.
....he talked about one of the biggest problems with Propagation being lack of teamwork (and in particular people turning up to meetings just wanting to have their point of view heard - perhaps as compensation for not being heard at home!)
Yes premies, it's all your fault if there are problems with propagation. Problems that you must not focus on because that will create more problems. It's YOUR FAULT PREMIES!!
) Never Rawat's fault! Rawat is perfect and you premies just keep getting it wrong.
He mentioned how the previous meeting in Barcelona was one of the momentous moments of his life - because he realised that for the first time ever he and the premies were on the same side.
Omigod, I don't believe it!! Rawat has just realised (after 40 years) that he's on the side of the premies. Is there any hope?!
He took some questions towards the end, joking about the upcoming event in Dublin and the unwelcome proposal to include free drinks after the event.
Why unwelcome? Rawat likes to drink cognac every night, why the moralising? Sounds like a good idea to me.
he talked about the possibility of smaller events taking place all over the UK - and not necessarily during the hot mid-summer months (particularly with our lamentable lack of decent A/C systems).
He's talked about this idea on and off over the years, many times, and as yet it's never happened - but a nice carrot to feed the premies to keep their hopes up. And motivate them to propagate. And a little dig at the UK by Rawat, re the air con. Crikey, it's raining and cold most of the time here!! He complains about this country if it's cold, and then he complains if it's hot because it's not kept cold enough for him.
He complains, and complains and complains.
Smaller programmes could easily be accommodated when going to and from India - in October for example.
Ever hopeful premies........ but I really doubt this will ever happen. But if it does, guess who'll be invited.... yep, the major donors again! Non-wealthy premies, no chance. Not even the £10-a-monthers will get a look in.
Go on Rawat, prove me wrong. Even better, prove to the premies that you're not just a money-grabbing conman. Why not do a small programme for all those premies doing service, and exclude all major donors.
What do you love most Rawat? Premies or money?
