So as some of you know I have been in the cult twice. That is a story for the other forum, but, as this is about the Donald as much as the Lord of the Universe, I’ll put it here…
Between 2016 and 2019 I saw Prem Rawat about half a dozen times. One year he did a 4 city tour of the UK. Pretty much every time he would weave into his ‘talk’ some banal political observations rather obviously lifted from CNN.
He liked ‘the last one’ (Obama) but he didn’t like this one (Trump). That was enough to bring claps and cheers from the obviously left-leaning premies. There was never any Reason why he didn’t like Trump, but he didn’t need one to get his mindless audience clapping.
I have rarely met a politically well informed premie, but I have heard a few say they vote for the Left without being able to give any reason. I always got the picture that they thought the Left was ‘nicer’ and perhaps more ‘spiritual’ (though Prem himself says he hates that word)
It was rather obvious that Rawat thought a bit of Trump- bashing would curry favour with his devotees. I repeat - he gave absolutely no reason why he didn’t like Trump.
I found the whole thing nauseating. After one event, in Belfast, I walked outside and declared to my friends ‘Well, he has just alienated half the American electorate!’
