A major center of the film industry, it is frequently referred to as Bollywood.
By the time word came that Maharaji had accepted their invitation, Read the rest of this entry » |

 Historic Merta City in the Nagaur district of the state of Rajasthan was the site of the third event in Maharaji’s recent tour in India. Founded in the fourteenth century, Merta is regarded by many as a holy city, the birthplace of Meera Bai, whose devotional songs are still sung today. Though it is a small city (population 40,000 in 2001), the literacy rate is higher than the national average. Yet over 16% of the people living there are under the age of six.

 Maharaji first spoke at an event in Kanpur in 1970, addressing a crowd of more than 1,000 people over the course of three days. He was just twelve years old, and some found it hard to believe that a child could inspire people to experience the self within. Yet that is what many said happened. Four years ago, in April of 2005, he came again, this time to address over 250,000.
When he returned this year, Read the rest of this entry » |

 Maharaji’s event in Jaipur on November 14th was scheduled to be the third on his fall tour in India, but heavy rain in the entire Rajasthan region flooded the venue for the second event (Sawai Madhopur) so it had to be canceled. For a while, it seemed likely that bad weather would threaten the Jaipur event as well, a disheartening possibility for all those who were looking forward Read the rest of this entry » |

Days of Our Life, excerpt
November 6, 2009
Who are you? Let me give you a bit of an economy lesson here. If I were to say you were going to receive $25,550, is that a lot of money? For some people, it’s a lot. For some, it’s not. It won’t buy you a house, a car, a refrigerator, a washing machine, and pay for your food for too long. These days, $25,550 is just not that much. If this is all you had, it’s not going to last that long.
What does the number 25,550 have to do with you? Well, if a human being lives for 70 years, which is an average, that’s how many days you get. That’s it. That’s it? Only 25,550 days?
That’s what my calculator says. A measly 25,550 days, some of which Read the rest of this entry »

According to their reports, IDEP is targeting people in the outer vicinities Read the rest of this entry »

Miami Beach event, a report

For many in the audience, the trip to hear Maharaji speak in Miami Beach was as simple as driving across the causeway and as familiar an opportunity for joy as celebrating a birthday. For many others, the event prompted transcontinental flights and day-and-night-long drives. Isabel McCormick, an immigration lawyer from Miami, attended out of curiosity. A friend had told her about Maharaji, and she was interested to know how his message differed from that of others who profess that fulfillment lies within. From the opening moments of his appearance in the capacity-filled auditorium, Maharaji made it clear what he wasn’t going to talk about. “I am not here to change your religion, throw a philosophy your way, dazzle you with brilliant quotes, or tell you what is going to happen tomorrow.” For the next hour Read the rest of this entry » |
The Triumph of a Human Being, excerpt
October 18, 2009

Have you ever heard someone say, “You won’t believe what just happened to me”? We hear this and think, “Somebody’s going to tell me something that happened to them, but why are they saying, ‘You won’t believe what just happened to me’?” The keyword is believe because if you had been there, you would know and not have to believe.
Now, belief is okay, but you give it much more credence than it deserves. Knowing deserves the credence you give to belief. Knowing is certain. It’s clear. There are no ambiguities, no hypotheses. This is what happened. But when you don’t know, is belief sufficient?
I can just imagine a long time ago, a person standing on a ridge, looking at the stars, wondering: “Who am I? Why am I here? What is this all about?” Read the rest of this entry »
