Prem Rawat live event speaking in Bologna

This is a YouTube broadcast of Prem speaking to public yesterday in Bologna, he starts speaking about half way through, some questions and answers and music at the end: will be available to watch for about two weeks

 

The Divine is Within

Just as the musk deer searches the forest for the source of the smell of the musk that is in his own navel, so the human being searches the world for the source of the divine, peace and joy, that is within himself.

That the Divine is within is a fact - if it were possible to prove that, which it is.

Through the teachings and techniques of Self-Knowledge, Prem Rawat shows us how and opens for us the posssibility to experience for ourselves.

Prem Rawat will be speaking at the Brighton Centre, Brighton, at the beginning of July 2026.

In the meantime, anyone interested to learn more can access the many web sites and videos here.

Reflection is recognition that brings clarity and joy

 One can never find true peace, love, joy, contentment in this world until one learns to find it first within inside where is has always been.  

Only then can we recognise peace, love, joy, contentment and only then will we reflect it - only when your candle is lit can we light other candles.    

That brings gratitude and understanding.    

Then we can have clarity.  Then we can really enjoy life.

1972: A Journey Within

 A Journey Within

1972: Even before my trip to India, which in a way was unintentional, I was on a search.

I was 22 at the time. I had been studying chemistry at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK. I had started the course in 1968, thinking that if I could understand the chemistry and physics of the Universe around us, I would reach an understanding of the meaning of it all, including myself.

By the time I graduated, I had realised that I was wrong. Although science consists of achieving the same results from the same observations or reactions, so much of it was and still is based on theory and belief.

Before I had left the UK in 1972, I had read books that greatly influenced me such as The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra, in which he draws parallels between modern science and ancient religion, Aldous Huxley’s Doors of Perception and John Lilly’s The Center of the Cyclone, which discussed states of consciousness especially on hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD.

By this time I was convinced that there existed a means of heightening my consciousness to some sort of “transcendental” level. I had no guide, no teacher or Guru. I had just my own thoughts and experiences.

One other thing I did have was a copy of the I Ching, a book of ancient Chinese oracles, that I had been given by Diane in 1972, an English girl I had met in Delhi and travelled to Kabul with.

Months later, after returning to the UK, at first I went to my parents in Barry and spent a week or so in hospital, recovering.

Whilst in hospital, one day my mother came to visit and brought me a newspaper and a few letters. Neither she nor I knew what a profound effect they would have on me.

In the newspaper there was a short article with picture about a “Boy Guru” from India. He was born in Haridwar, the place where I had become ill, in an Ashram that I had intended to visit.

In 1972, he was just 15 years old. His name was Guru Maharaji, or Prem Pal Singh Rawat, and he was visiting the UK for the second time, the first visit having been a year earlier when he had spoken at Glastonbury festival.

Guru Maharaji was saying that he wanted to bring peace to the world, as he had promised his late father who, coincidentally, had been his own Guru, called Hans Ji Maharaj. The term Guru, generally understood to mean teacher, more specifically meant “One who takes us from darkness to light”. I thought the world certainly needed that.

Another letter was from Australian Paul! He told me that he and Lorraine had given up smoking cannabis and were now meditating on something called “The Knowledge” and were followers of Guru Maharaji.

What a weird set of coincidences.

I thought the Guru must be some sort of con, being just a boy. Maybe, I thought, he was some sort of prodigy for the Beatles’ guru, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

I began to read scripture – the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita, Buddhist works and the Koran, which I admit I struggled with. I can’t say they made much sense and seemed in may ways to contradict each other, as if there may have been a secret key to understanding them.

Whilst it seemed that Christianity was about Love and Faith and a loving God, the Old Testament was about Faith and Trust for a jealous and vengeful God (Jehovah). Buddhism seemed to be about acceptance and karma whilst Islam meant Peace.

I pondered on which path I should take. Transcendental mediation, Hare Krishna, Christianity, Buddhism, drugs like LSD? Islam did not appeal to me and I could not become a Jew as that was by birth.
I started using the I Ching to guide me. I went to a Hare Krishna evening with great food, chanting and dancing. It was a great evening but that route did not appeal to me.

I went to a lecture on Buddhism that seemed quite complicated and a talk by “Jesus Freaks” that did not appeal to me at all. The I Ching also seemed to steer me away from those routes.

Then one day whilst I was sitting in my front room alone, I decided simply to ask the book to give me some guidance – a more general question. I threw the three coins six times and noted down the results which would lead me to the correct “Hexagram” to read.
I was very keen to read the advice but just then there was a knock on the door. It was Paul and Lorraine and a man they introduced as Alastair. That man was beaming and greeted me with hands as if in prayer. He sat on the floor cross-legged.

I was a bit annoyed that they had turned up just then as I knew Paul would do a lot of talking. So I asked them if they could just stay silent and drink some tea whilst I read the Hexagram.

The Hexagram was number 5: WAITING There were a few lines that maybe changed my life more than any other. They read:

‘Entering into the cave
There are uninvited guests,
Three people come.
Honouring them, in the end good fortune.’

I wondered did it mean “father, Son and Holy Ghost” or maybe “Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva” before realising it may well have referred to that very moment and those very three people in the room, Paul, Lorraine and Alistair, who were surely uninvited guests.

So I put down the book and started to listen.

Paul immediately started talking about “The Light”.

Now, as I understood it, “seeing the light” meant understanding and was not to be taken literally. Of course I knew about light and the speed of light in a scientific sense and I knew that scriptures said that “God is Light” but “God” was not so much in my realm of belief. I had also read that God was omnipresent and therefore God was “in me” although I had never see him, her or it. The only light I had seen was through my eyes. But I listened to Paul for a while and then asked him.

“When you talk about seeing the light, do you mean understanding something, like when you suddenly get the answer to a question or riddle?”

Paul explained that he did not mean that, he meant looking inside, meditating, through the “THIRD EYE”.

Paul said “If thine eye be single the whole body will be full of light.”
He explained that his Guru Maharaj Ji had shown him four techniques of meditation, ways to look inside to see the light, hear the “music”, taste the “nectar” and feel “peace”.

So I attended some Satsang meetings and then went to London a few times to listen to the Mahatmas. I did not get to see the Guru himself as he was not in the country. It still did not seem to make much sense; there was a lot of praise for “Maharaji” but not really any explanation of what this “Knowledge” was. I realised that it had to be experienced and for that one had to ask a Mahatma. Despite my University education and travels, I was still quite shy, and even though I was sometimes gently pushed towards a Mahatma, I just couldn’t ask.

By this time it was approaching Christmas. I remember one day back in Norwich, I shook my fist at the sky and said “If you are real God, I want Knowledge on Christmas Day.” Of course, I didn’t believe that was going to happen, but …

A few days before Christmas I was staying with a “Premie”, a “devotee” of Maharaji, in London. Premies are named after Maharaji’s given name, Prem, which means love. I was staying with this guy in Earls Court. In those days some Premies volunteered to accommodate “aspirants” (people that wanted the Knowledge) and I was sleeping on his floor.

I also started going to an Ashram in Muswell Hill, where a Mahatma spoke. That one was a lady from India called Prakash Bhai. I didn’t like her, she seemed rather stern and I did not want to ask her for Knowledge.

After one session, a guy came into the room and said “All those who Mahatma Bhai has said can have Knowledge, go into the other room and write your name on the list.” Well, I had not even asked but I went and wrote down my name anyway. That little bit of dishonesty did not bother me as I still though it was all a con and probably at some stage, I thought, we’d be asked for money.

Actually, that never happened.

It was December 24th that we went to a hall for Satsang in the Swiss Cottage area. Several Mahatmas spoke and at the end one of them announced that there was to be a “Knowledge Session” the next day, Christmas Day, for fifteen people. He had a list of the names of the people that could go along to the house in Muswell Hill. Maybe my demand would be met, I thought.

As he read out the fifteen names he asked the people to shout out if they were there. By the time he reached number fifteen, only thirteen of them were there and I was not one of them. So he told the people that if they knew the other two, tell them to come tomorrow, but if not then numbers sixteen and seventeen could go.

But only fifteen could get the Knowledge as Guru Maharaji had stipulated a maximum of fifteen.

I was number sixteen! Would I get Knowledge on Christmas Day after all?

I was very embarrassed when almost everyone in the hall started shouted, “let him have Knowledge” but the Mahatma said only if the others did not turn up.

The following morning, Christmas Day, I got up at about 5 o’clock and walked all he way to Muswell Hill. When I got there all fifteen of the others were there. They and I sat in a room waiting for the Mahatma Prakash Bhai to arrive. She spoke for a while and asked me to read a few lines from The Bible. I was thick with a cold, nose running and sneezing, but I read the lines which I remember to this day.

“For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

“For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

“What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”

That was heavy stuff. Although written about the knowledge of Jesus Christ, the Mahatma said it was the same Knowledge. It was a warning!

After that she said that the fifteen named people would receive Knowledge that day but the other two would have to wait! In other words, I would not be one of the ones to be shown anything that day!

I did argue. I told her “but Guru Maharaji said not to put off til tomorrow what one can do today!”

“That’s right,” she said, “but I cannot give you Knowledge today because Guru Maharaj Ji says maximum fifteen, and if I give to you one of the others will have to wait. You must come back in three days!”

I was not at all pleased. I was quite angry. Some sort of divine joke? That God I had made my demand to had let me down.
I stormed out of the house and found my way to the start of the A11 road, intent on hitch-hiking back to Norwich, however hard it was going to be on Christmas Day.

I stuck out my thumb as the first car approached. It stopped. “Where you going mate?” asked the driver. “Norwich,” I said. “Oh I’m going there. I can take you all the way!”

The journey took about three hours and by the time we reached the outskirts of Norwich it was starting to get dark. Moreover, I was starting to feel very silly to have reacted like that. I asked the driver to stop at the ring-road roundabout, which he did. I got of the car, crossed the road, stuck out my thumb to go back to London and the first car stopped!

“Where you heading?” asked the driver. “London,” I said. “Oh I can take you there! What part of London?” “Earl’s Court,” I said “near the tube station.” “Oh that’s exactly where I’m going! I can take you all the way!”
Some hours later, I was back in my mate’s bedsit in Earl’s Court, sleeping on his floor, telling him about my day, listening to his Satsang, and waiting three days to head back to Muswell Hill where I hoped to receive the Knowledge..

Being sceptical though, I was determined not to be drugged or hypnotized, so I refused to eat or drink anything and pinched myself all though the “Knowledge Session”. There were fourteen other aspirants.

She told us we had to make some promises to Maharaji and to ourselves. First was not to reveal the techniques. Second was to practice the techniques twice daily and “give yourself a chance” and third was to “leave no doubt in your mind.”

One thing I want to say is that from the first time I ever read anything he said, Prem always said that he is not a god, that he is a human being, and that he is here to show us how to find the Knowledge of God and self within. It is not his knowledge, he does not give it to us, he just shows the way to find it.

Now , in 2024, I feel fulfilled and grateful for the Knowledge that peace and love and joy are within inside of me and for the techniques for finding that place.

Enjoy it while you can

A lot of people complain that they don't feel peace or joy or love or freedom, or are confused, fearful, hopeless, lost or simply don't know why they are alive or what;s it all about.

Most of them seem to think they will find answers in friendship or family, fame or fortune, achievements or possessions; many blame others, the government, their bosses, their families or friends and many blame themselves.

There are those that believe in one "God" or another, or no god at all - they have their own beliefs and disbeliefs, or philosophy, or teachers that they think will lead them to an answer, even if as yet they have not.

There are those that have hope and those that have no hope. There are the rich and the poor, the educated and not so educated, the young and the old, the servants and the masters, the healthy and the sick.

One thing we all eventually know - one day we will leave all that behind - and many of us think that THEN we will know.

In the meantime, we are alive.

So we can think if life in this world as a huge supermarket that we are allowed into for a while - let's say 24 hours.

Let;s say we have won a ticket to use whatever we want in that shop for one day, for free - maybe some items are restricted to some people, maybe not. But there is a lot to choose from and to enjoy, alone or with others.

Thing is we know that we will have to leave empty handed - so what is the point?

My friend said there is no point. I said so what about holidays, food, music, company, sport etc - it will all end. "Precisely", he said, "what's the point".

Well all I could say is what is the point of not trying to enjoy "it" whilst we can?"

We all came through one door and we will all be going through another door - alone. In between those doors is life.

So in that life we should at least have a choice to try to enjoy that life for what it is, an opportunity to feel peace, love, freedom, clarity, understanding, appreciation or a choice not to

So for those that want those things, how can we gains PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE that does not demand one set of beliefs or a regionalise over another - and that does not cost what we cannot afford.

I am so glad that my teacher Prem Rawat showed me how (over 50 years ago now) and that he is still about, travelling the world, speaking to people, making videos, just telling them about the opportunity that he offers. He has set up a series of short videos, called PEAK (available through the TimelessToday app on your phone), free of charge, that people can work through at their own rate.

The OPPORTUNITY is there - the next step in up to you because IT IS ALL ABOUT YOU!

Simply talking about peace does not bring lasting peace

Simply talking about peace does not bring lasting peace, talking about love does not bring true love, talking about joy does not bring fulfilling joy .... , just like when you put an unlit candle close to a lit candle. Iit will not light unless they make contact and then and only then can the lit candle light the unlit candle, so that the unlit becomes lit and can go forth to light others.

Neither will the unlit unlight the lit!.

One lit candle can light many.

WE need to find a way to make contact with the peace that is within, then we will become lit up by that peace and can help inspire others to do the same. Prem Rawat is a lit candidate offering to light up those that make contact within themselves. That is my experience and that is my Truth.

What is being offered? A pathway to Peace.

PREM RAWAT offers a PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE of PEACE within inside yourself.

It is not a philosophy, religion, concept or belief.

He does not ask for payment, just that each person gives it a chance and makes the daily effort of practising the four techniques to look within, for an hour of ones time.

He does not ask that anyone believe anything, hold or change a religion. There is no mantra to learn and repeat, simply an experience to have.

Recently, Prem repeated again a promise that he made over 50 years ago: "Give me love and I will give you peace."

The pathway is simple. Prem has created a series on on-line videos, each about 5 minutes long, called PEAK, which people can watch and enjoy at their own pace, on their smart phones or tablets. At the end of the series it is possible to apply for KNOWLEDGE and then simply wait until a Knowledge session is arranged for you to attend. There are also plenty of other videos of Prem speaking available on his YouTube site and the TimelessToday website.

To watch the PEAK series, simply download the TimelessToday app. Open the app and in the drop-down menu top right click on PEAK.

Simply register and watch and enjoy. There is no fee.

 

 HEAR YOURSELF

Finding Peace in a Noisy World

Have you ever wanted to find a quiet place where you can simply relax and feel peace away from the problems and hassles of the world, yet when you find it you still hear the ramblings of your mind? That noise which often acts as a barrier to the feeling of peace within is the noise that Prem Rawat talks about and writes about in his book £Hear Yourself: How to Find Peace in a Noisy World”.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hear-Yourself-Peace-Noisy-World/dp/006307074X/webbook05

So how can we stop that noise or at least stop listening to it, in an easy way?

That is what Prem refers to as the Techniques of Self-Knowledge.

To receive the gift of those techniques is a simple process of preparation. Prem’s on-line program called PEAK is a series of short videos that a person can watch as their own rate on phone or tablet, available for free at the TimelessToday website

https://www.premrawat.com/peak-know-yourself/

Here is my own story of my life leading up to and after receiving that gift of Knowledge back in 1972.

The Lost Key

A man lost his key and was searching in his garden. Another man came by and said: "I know what you are looking for and it is inside your house. All you need to do is let me show you exactly where and then it is up to you to move all the stuff that you have piled on top of it. Then you will find your key!"

"Thanks," said the first man, "But I am still busy searching for it out here."

Taken from My Piece of Peace : Introduction

 Taken from My Piece of Peace ISBN ‎ 978-1838440121 

Even before my trip to India, which in a way was unintentional, I was on a search.

I was 22 at the time. I had been studying chemistry at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK. I had started the course in 1968, thinking that if I could understand the chemistry and physics of the Universe around us, I would reach an understanding of the meaning of it all, including myself.

By the time I graduated, I had realised that I was wrong. Although science consists of achieving the same results from the same observations or reactions, so much of it was and still is based on theory and belief.

Whether it’s subatomic particles or black holes, the best we have is theory – one theory for the smallest and one theory for the largest. We have quantum mechanics and we have gravity waves. Science is still searching for a unified theory that will explain it all.

Most people cannot see either atoms or black holes – and strangely we are told that atoms are not solid yet black holes are not holes. We are told that mathematical calculations on the supposed mass and energy of the universe that that enables it to exist are only satisfied by accepting the existence of a mysterious dark matter and dark energy that we cannot otherwise detect. We don’t really know where the universe “came from”, we don’t really know how big it is or even if it is just one of many universes – that is multiverses.

Although I had (kind of) rejected religion when I was 13 and considered myself an agnostic or atheist, my very first experiment in chemistry in our garden shed, when I mixed calcium carbonate with dilute hydrochloric acid and observed the effervescent reaction, made me think that those chemicals were somehow aware of each other. They were conscious even if only on a chemical level. In school I was told that fire was a chemical reaction too. I was told that our brains function on electric impulses and signals and our digestive systems were chemical. Our Sun was a huge chemical reaction. Chemistry seemed to be everywhere.

Yet most of that we accept as true even if we cannot actually see it. Just like people’s beliefs in God or gods, science consists of a large amount of religious beliefs.

Before I had left the UK in 1972, I had read books that greatly influenced me such as The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra, in which he draws parallels between modern science and ancient religion, Aldous Huxley’s Doors of Perception and John Lilly’s The Center of the Cyclone, which discussed states of consciousness especially on hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD.

Those books and others, together with discussions with fellow students at UEA, led me to the belief in levels of consciousness, both higher and lower that “the norm”, and the part that drugs and meditation may play in that.

Then of course there were the items on the news about groups such as The Beatles and teachers such as Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and the music that went along with it, including the likes of Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix. The whole hippie movement with the flowery clothes, drugs and long hair appealed to me.

By the time I left UEA I had tried cannabis and had long hair myself. I considered myself to be a sort of atheist anarchist pacifist vegetarian.

 

 

What is Peace and Who Wants it?

What is Peace and Who Wants it?

Most people in this world would say they want peace – peace for the world and peace for themselves. Even the arms dealers and profiteers of war will say they want peace for themselves. That is why they do what they do, even at the expense of others, because they think that the wealth and power that war and the sale of weapons will bring them will enable then to find peace.

So really I am asking about personal peace, not “just” the absence of war, for even when we are not directly involved with war, we may not be feeling peace.

It is the feeling of peace and the joy that it brings, that we seek.

Even if we are fortunate enough, as many are, to be able to go to a place away from the rest of the world – a bedroom, the garden shed, the riverside, a cave or even a WC, where nobody will disturb us for a while, we may still not feel peace. We may still suffer from the problems and worries that we each carry in our heads. Even when we eventually find sleep, we may suffer from the dreams and nightmares that our minds create. Plus of course, we cannot stay in that place for ever.

Many people say they are troubled by the incessant thoughts – the noise – in our own minds even when we they are alone. They want their mind to shut up, to stop. They may be lucky to get away from the hassles of the world for a while but they cannot escape their own minds.

The mind of course is a useful tool that w need to get through life in the best possible way. But it is like a horse pulling a chariot in which you are the passenger. It’s fine so long as we can control where the horse pulls us. We can go to beautiful or even dreadful places; we can turn round sometimes and go back to some place we liked.

The problem can be, however, that we have to stop steering the horse sometimes, to eat, sleep or focus on something else. But that horse is not capable of stopping (maybe it’s just a mechanical horse with no off switch and it doesn’t need to eat or sleep!). It just carries on.

By that I mean that horse, which is our own minds, will not rest, even when we want it to, it just babbles on, giving is fears, regrets, anger, wishful thinking, whatever, about the past or the future, or telling us how bad or uncomfortable the now (our life) is.

So people may look for ways to stop it: meditation, exercise, drugs etc or ways to temporarily distract us from it.

If only we could stop listening to the babble, the noise, could we then find peace?

My answer is yes.

I believe, based upon my own life experience and the belief that I am nobody special, that every human being carries those feelings of peace and joy within us. I believe that in those moments that we do feel peace and joy, we feel it within, not because we have created it but because there is that place there within us all the time.

So I believe that everybody should seek those experiences, as everybody does, know it or not, but that we should seek the place within where we feel.

There are many people and teachers in the world, many books and videos, many ideas and philosophies, that tell us how to find peace and I believe we need to look at some of them – we need to try.

Some people believe that they can find t themselves, if only they could make the world around them exactly the way they want it. And many people that have made the world around them the way they wanted it have realised that what they wanted was not entirely correct as they still lack peace.

I am fortunate enough to have had the means, the techniques, to enable me to look within and focus as best I can, in such a way that it brings we peace and joy, shown to me, fifty years ago now, and it works for me. That is why I tell others about my teacher. For some it may work, for others it may not. Some may go on to seek peace in some other way and I hope they find it. It is like finding hungry people and offering them a free plate of food. Some will just say no for whatever reason, some may eat it and move along, some may not even like the taste. Some may even get the recipe book and produce their own ingredients. All I can do is offer.

And who was that who gave me what I consider to be the best thing in my life, the greatest Knowledge, the greatest truth? His name is Prem Rawat.

The Scarecrow Dies

by Alun Buffry

A storm outside,
Where fear abides,
The thunder claps,
The lightning zaps
The scarecrows in the fields.

Inside is calm,
Peaceful and warm,
It feels of love,
Soft Light above,
The scarecrows finally yield.

Throughout ones life,
We all feel strife,
Darkness and confusion,
Amidst the world’s illusion
With which we daily deal.

But please don’t cry,
One day we’ll die,
Life is for here and now,
The scarecrows will all bow,
As life is but a wheel.

The scarecrows are the sinners.
The lovers are the winners.
As hatred outside dies,
And peace inside will fly,
And gratitude we’ll feel.
