Following is a brief excerpt from an address by Prem Rawat (Maharaji) in Bangkok, Thailand.

"Every day that we are alive, the most incredible miracle takes place. And it comes in the form of a breath—an irreplaceable breath. One at a time—not two, three, four—one at a time it comes. And every time it comes and touches us, it brings us the gift of life. And here we are.

Do we recognize our potential? We have a possibility—like a seed—that can be planted in the field of our heart, where it can grow and bring us the one fruit that throughout history people have always wanted and admired. It has been called many names—fulfillment, peace, joy, harmony.

We are all so similar. And so is our yearning. This heart in every one of us yearns to be fulfilled. We look for beauty; we want to feel peace. But the beauty and the peace are within us. I offer what I call Knowledge—Knowledge of the self—a way to be able to go within and see that beauty and feel that peace. We need to be fulfilled in our life.

I don’t have anything to sell. How can I sell something that you already have? What I am talking about is already within you. I’m not talking about a makeover; I’m talking about getting a mirror so you can see what you already have and experience your life in every moment, every breath.

I know we are all busy, but we cannot afford to forget what we have been given. It is time in our lives to begin to recognize that we are alive, that we have the possibility to be fulfilled. And that peace is very possible. But until the seed is sown, it will remain elusive.

It begins with recognizing the need for fulfillment; it begins with you. One journey completed. One journey taken in surety. One life made real.

Knowledge is possible, and it is available. Listen and make sure that this is what you want. If you want help, I’m here. The peace that you need is within you."

Maharaji

I heard about Maharaji’s message about ten years after I graduated from university. Up to that point, my whole life had been fine. I had graduated from university and started to pursue my career. I had a job I liked and had excellent superiors and friends.

Nevertheless, often when I was on the commuter train, I would wonder what I really wanted in my life. If I had one wish, what would I wish for? A husband who would give me a lot of happiness? A fortune so that I wouldn’t need to worry for the rest of my life? No. I decided that what I really wanted was the strength to stay calm, no matter what—for if I had that strength, everything would be fine.

When I heard Maharaji’s message, it had a big impact on me. After I received Knowledge, I began practicing and enjoying it. It soaks into me like water—water that comes to me one drop at a time. I feel I’m crossing a vast river alone, even when I am in the packed commuter train or in my busy office, and I’ll continue crossing this river forever. I don’t know where I am going, but I have no worries anymore.

When I remember the time I used to wish for Aladdin’s lamp, I chuckle. I definitely got my wish—and my highest dream came true.

PRNEWSWIRE Los Angeles, December 18, 2003. Prem Rawat, known also as Maharaji, just concluded a 16-city tour of the Indian subcontinent during which more than 900,000 people sought his inspiration and guidance.

Between October 29 and December 10, he held events in 11 locations. 200,000 attended the event in Varanasi and 150,000 in Kanpur. More than 50,000 came to hear him in Faridabad, Agra, Ambela, Delhi, Koto, Jaipur, and Lucknow.

At the end of the tour, people interested in Knowledge, a practical way that Maharaji offers for finding peace within, participated in a countrywide interactive follow-up event where they were able to ask him questions. More than 600,000 participated from 1,116 centers equipped with satellite dishes. They interacted with Maharaji via audio feeds, and Maharaji responded via satellite video feed from Delhi, where the event originated before 28,000 people. 1,125 questions were sent in from 59 locations during an enthusiastic exchange that lasted more than 90 minutes.

For H. V. Nagappa of Raj Vidya Kender, which promotes and disseminates Maharaji’s message in India, “As India becomes a vibrant modern country, people’s thirst for finding peace within is growing as well. The strength and purity of Maharaji’s message stands out, and it is a great pleasure to see him receive such an enthusiastic welcome. While the numbers are impressive, they are only a beginning. Maharaji started to hold events outside Delhi only a few months ago. Hundreds of cities are inviting Maharaji to visit. Starting in February 2004, he will be holding events in Southern India, as well as in the North, and record-breaking crowds are expected.”

Linda Pascotto, President of The Prem Rawat Foundation, which promotes and disseminates Maharaji’s message outside India, expressed: “The tremendous welcome which Maharaji has received during this tour marks the dawn of a new era of recognition for him and his message of peace. He mentioned once at the United Nations Conference Center in Bangkok that “when people in the world are at peace, the world will be at peace.” One person at a time, Maharaji is making an extraordinary contribution toward making this world a better place to live. It is a great joy to see him receive the recognition that he and his message deserve.”
