these reasons. The two Dutch religious scholars and obviously biased. Kraneborg, being an orthodox protestant minister, is very unambiguous about his criticisim that is based on his Christian world-view (that he makes without reference to the opulent lifestyles led by many prominent Christian priests and politicians.) Van der Lans is similar (he was trained as a pastor) but maybe worse as he makes his assertions based on personal opinions based on reading a few magazine articles from the 70's rather than researching the subject (he does not provide any references for his disparaging criticism, beyond mentionint a magazine article). Haan, well, don't get me started on that one, a student of religion with no academic credentials, basing his assertions on some private observations. Schabel, used many of the other Dutch sources in his dissertation, an obvious case of circular referencing. All in all these Dutch religious people and Schnabel are hardly cited and have only become known by the good effort of Andries himself. These are mentioned in about 40 pages in Knowledge thanks to Andries good work.

looking for the "old silver-haired Guru with flowing white robes." I was only eight. When people were flocking to India for their search, I was in the West. When people were looking for sophisticated discourses, I spoke of simple things. When people wanted nirvana, I said, "You need peace." When people said, "Tell us of the scriptures," I said, "Look within you." When people asked, "What is your qualification?" I said, "Judge me by what I offer." To this day, some people see me the way they want to. After all, I guess it is rather inconvenient to see things as they really are. I have evolved, but my message stays the same. Externally, I have changed but within me, something stays the same. In that same article Rawat states that people wanted to see him as a figurehead and as a leader but that he does not want to be one or the other, and that all he wanted to do is speak to those who wanted to hear him, and impart the Knowledge to those that sought it. He also said that if people like what is given, to practice it and if not, to leave it.
469:. Jossi is correct about Kranenborg and Schnabel, though I do not know whether Schnabel's Phd. dissertation was available only in small numbers. Some original Dutch text and its translations by Kranenborg, Schnabel and others are scattered on the different talk pages. I have no problem to collect them here or on Daniella's user page. Or to cite and translate some more. I know that it is difficult for non-Dutch to assess the Dutch language sources, but I can assure you that none of them are Christian counter cult movement or anti-cult writings: the writings are more anti-anti-cult than anti-cult. Both van der Lans and Haan wrote that they were criticized for not writing critical enough about the DLM and cults. Of course, all writers have some bias, but that is almost impossible to avoid when writing about religious matters. Schnabel's dissertation is very thorough and in my opinion better than most English language sources. If you do not trust my translations then may be you can ask other Dutch language contributors or Schnabel himself. 3855:. It is very likely that there are letters or other material that can be provided as references to support the statement that these executives were promoting such claims, while at the same time Maharaji was responding in interviews to journalists in which he clearly denied these claims. When we have these references, we can just describe them neutrally and let the readers make their own conclusion about their significance. In regard to the Robert Mishler interview reference, I don't see why it would be a problem stating that there is no official copy of the transcript and that it was transcribed, copied and posted in a website of detractors of Maharaji. I contacted KOA a few weeks ago, and the person I talked to could neither confirm the interview, nor provide a transcript. As it reads now, the reference is to KOA, when it is not so. 142:". One of the ex-premie group's central criticisms is that from the age of eight until his mid-twenties Prem Rawat made public claims of personal divinity and that he and his students continue to make such claims in private while denying them in public. They demand that Rawat and/or Elan Vital explicitly disabuse all his current students of such claims. They point to statements made by Rawat like "Guru is greater than God" (an expression also voiced by Brahmanand and somewhat in correspondence with the elevated status that some traditional Indian saints gave their guru), and "The only one who can settle the governments down is the Perfect Master, the incarnation of God Himself, who comes to Earth to save mankind." Tokyo, Japan, October 3, 1972 (from the Divine Light Mision magazine And it is Divine, July 1973)" 1227:
that what you guys do is far more insulting than anything I've said as I say that you insult my memory, my life experience, my intelligence and my common sense. And I DO doubt Daniella's sincerity in that I don't really believe that she's a student working on a research paper on ex-premies. So there you go. BTW, when you say that she maybe got the "slap in the face" wrong, don't you think that she substantially misrepresented what I said? Surely a slap in the face and the academic equivalent of same are two entirely different things. One is a physical assault and highly illegal. The other is not. Do you agree? Why, then, do you think she'd have misrepresented my words so and don't you think it rather rich that she herself is complaining about things being taken out of context?--
160:. Some ex-students are frustrated that Rawat has never taken the trouble to go through the whole list of Hindu concepts which he expressed and taught in his earlier teachings and interviews, as well as those taught by his family, his father and his 'mahatmas', and specifically separate those which he no longer holds any stock in from those he still does. Some confusion no doubt arises because according to them Rawat still allows himself to be feted as a Guru (in the Hindu sense in India) where he holds "Darshan." It would appear that there, many of the Hinduistic concepts (which he so derides in the West) are acceptable in India. Critics see this as an example of double-standards, while supporters see this simply as the complexities of cultural and geographical contexts. 4280:
encourage his students by his example to also respect and value their GMJ. In the Peace Bomb satsang, used in this article to suggest PR made divine claims about himself, PR says "What can I say about Guru Maharaj Ji who has sent me amongst you and has given me this chance to serve you? The name of such a merciful Guru Maharaj Ji is Shri Hans Ji Maharaj", his father. When I pointed that out, Andries inserted a talk froom Kissimee Hans Jayanti satsang, but did not include "But by Guru Maharaj Ji's Grace, whose jayanti we celebrate" which again makes it clear PR is talking about his teacher. Critics of PR would like to maintain he was only talking about himself in these talks, the evidence however is irrefutable - he is talking about his father and his experience of him.

is challenged, I try to take the challenge in the best spirit of the challenger, not taking it personally, but rather making every attempt to respect the challenger's efforts and desire to ultimately arrive at a greater truth. Sometimes I have been found to be mistaken in what I've posted, at other times others have been found to be mistaken. The point is that everyone wins when the truth is finally uncovered. I feel that anyone's contributions to Wiki ought to be respected, for however so long as the author displays a greater willingness to discover the ultimate truth about whatever he or she may be posting, than a desire to prove any given point without proper documentation. In the dialogue above about the interview, I sense that willingnes, and I respect it.
151:. In this speech he attributed great power and possibly divinity to "The Lord, Guru Maharaj Ji", apparently referring to his father and teacher. The fact that he himself also came to be called "Guru Maharaj Ji," may have led to confusion, whether intentional or unintentional, in the minds of Western students between Rawat personally and this called-upon figure of divine power. It may be that during the 1970s as praise and divine connotations were further heaped upon "Guru Maharaj Ji," those in charge maintained in their own minds a distinction between the young living man, his deceased father, and the lineage title itself, although that distinction appears to have been lost on some who believed Rawat was referring to himself when using that phrase. 935:
Gruru Maharaj Ji" pages 84 to 99. Others Q&As are from London 1972, and LA in 1973. The giveaway was the use of "Savior" as this term was how his mother used to describe him (she used "savior of love" and "savior of humanity" in her sat-sangs), and what the publishers of these booklets wanted people to believe. My estimation is that this "booklet" was either published much earlier than 1979 or it was not published by the mission. Also note that the statement made by 24.69.14.159 aka Jim that "He signs his last quote Guru Maharaj Ji" is misleading as well. He did not "sign" these quotes: That was the name his followers used, and of course it will be added at the bottom of these and any other published quotes.
231:"Rawat has explained many times that, just as a deceased doctor cannot help a patient, it takes a living teacher to help students. He says that to progress on this path, students need to maintain a relationship of trust with the teacher that is fresh and fruitful, and that without such a relationship, the benefits of Knowledge cannot be obtained. According to his authorized biography Maharaji expressed upon his father's death that he did not want to be a satguru but accepted his father's and teacher 's request to be one and take Knowledge to the world. That day he referred to the term satguru as "Perfect Master"--meaning, teacher of the perfection within--which is the free-form translation of this Hindi term." 3337:
reasonableness of references, it must still distinguish between first person and third references, especially when, as here, the subject is in the very business of promoting themself. The sentence should begin something like "According to his own website, Rawat ......". The other thing is, in answer to Errol, I'm not asking Jossi to do my research for me. I'm just asking to see the entire speech attributed to Rawat when he was three or four because I suspect that it says much more than what's been quoted and that, in fact, the summary offered here is misleading. So I just want to check the reference myself. If the reference isn't available for inspection, the whole point of having references is ruined.--

transcript is fraudulent? If you won't say, that says it all. Your reference to the judicial process is so misplaced it's not funny. If you're calling me or, perhaps more importantly EPO, fraudulent, you should explain why and not simply say that a little birdy told you so. As for the tape itself, God, I have no idea where it is. What happened is this. Either Rick Wallace sent me a copy which I kept and David Stirling another which he transcribed or he sent me one which I forwarded to David. It was a long time ago and I just don't remember. What is your relationship with premies, by the way? --24.69.14.159 21:30, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

heard the tape stamped KOA Radio, which admittedly we have since misplaced, due to the fact that nobody challenged the veracity of the tape for over 20 years. Meanwhile, until you might have anything more than a theory about why you think this interview must somehow be fabricated, I think that generally Wiki standards tend to accept as reliable the long-standing published statements of multiple credible witnesses about the accuracy of such a thing. As always document, document, document. Theories generally get us nowhere without documentation, which I feel we have at this time amply provided.
4934:
Revera, that is where you might best find a rationale to work towards creating a more neutral article here. Wiki NPOV is the general philosophy that the truth always trumps personal agendas. I think it is a beautiful philosophy, and it happens to be what makes Wiki work. As with the questions about the Mishler interview, truth will always trump. Jossi has agreed to abide by whatever KOA comes up with. That to me shows a willingness to let truth trump. I don't feel that he has chosen to hide whatever KOA might say. He has placed truth ahead of personal agenda. To me, that is NPOV.
931:
misled by the too obvious subterfuge of quoting out of context and mixing-in words from the guru's mother from another sat-sang and assigning these to the guru. Most probably was an honest mistake by someone long ago (although I doubt it) but was surely perpetuated in the former followers' narrative for many, many years until this week. I also know that after reading this I will be the recipient of more ad hominems, but hey!, I guess that is the price a girl has to pay when crossing a person with his type of MO. Even though I have a thick skin, I hope it does not get any nastier.
3285:. And Jossi, my point about primary and secondary sources was intended mainly to address the claims made (on his behalf?) about Prem Rawat on his own tprf website. To cite such claims (e.g. "addressing audiences" at the age of three) as being factual without having any evidence to that effect is, I'm sure you would agree, unacceptable for any Wiki article. So thank you for supplying the reference to his first published speech, and for the link to his website, but do we not need more actual proof than just his word that he "addressed audiences" at the age of three? 2749:
you've done here, starting with this latest example. I think that any fair-minded person would be rather bemused by your attempt to deny that Rawat was claiming that he was part of this guru lineage. The link on his website didn't say "Masters" for nothing! So, because you're so familiar with this turf here, and because you obviously feel you have nothing to be ashamed of and further, because you're so quick yourself to call foul on any procedural transgression you can imagine, I'm asking you to please direct me to the proper complaint box. Thanks, --

190:, in which one side pursues an opponent's argument to an illogical conclusion. If you want to understand what is being said, you need to delve into Hinduism, in which you will find drastic differences in the concept of divinity from Judeo-Christian concepts of the same. You may also need to delve in the concept of devotee/guru in Bhakti yoga. Those that have a hard time reading obscure Hindu philosophy, can delve into Jung's notion of transference and the archetype. Reductionism is the easy way out, but not the best path to understanding. Dsmi 3754:
training would tell you. It is certainly not evidence of anything. Thus, from this point on, any references to the interview must contain "alleged". I stated above why I question its authenticity. No-one suggested anything to me; I don't understand why you keep suggesting that. You seem to think that there are a group of people sitting around feeding me with information. Hardly. I'm a very independent person. I've been around for a long while, and I have been reading the EPO site since it first appeared. Errol V 21:56, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Whenever the great come, the worldly oppose them. Again I have come and you are not listening. Every ear should hear that the savior of humanity has come. There should be no chance for anyone to say they haven't heard of Guru Maharaj Ji. Those who come to me are already saved. Now it's your duty to save others. Shout it on the streets. Why be shy? 338:
and treated as endowed with supernatural, superhuman or at least specifically exceptional powers or qualities" Weber 1978: 242)", inasmuch as he was able to continue with his father's mission without the need for the clutches of crown, throne and robe. Furthermore, the lack of a hierarchy that usually engenders a culturally given sacred central symbolic system of accepted significance, did not diminish his ability to continue gaining adherents both in East and West. This may be a unique case, and quite remarkable. Dsmi

PR says - "I think that's every human being's purpose in this world: to have faith in their Guru Maharaj Ji, to love their Guru Maharaj Ji, to see their Guru Maharaj Ji, to do satsang, service, and meditation" without including the precursor - "by Guru Maharaj Ji's Grace, whose jayanti we celebrate", which makes it obvious that PR is once again refering to his father. In my experience when PR is praising "Guru Maharaj JI" he is usually talking about his teacher who he clearly venerates.

Mishler. Probably nearly all of the followers of Maharaji who lived in Denver, which was then the world headquarters for DLM, were aware of this interview at that time. It made very big news in Denver. Also, I knew Mishler's voice, as did most of us followers in Denver, and all of us knew that it was genuine. Also, at the time, none of us had any concrete evidence capable of contradicting the veracity of any of Mishler's claims made in the interview.
31: 118:(though not indeed from the ambiguous and "wink-wink" quotes he posts above), I do agree that Prem Rawat has made claims to personal divinity. I have no personal experience or specialized knowledge of the subject, but IMO it's an easy call to make. I respectfully decline to get into any huge debate or any historical ramifications at this time; I don't mean to blow people off, I apologize if it looks like that, but I just don't have the time. 4358:, but for some reason so far, nobody has lifted a finger to do so. Now a written denial of the veracity of the interview from a KOA staff member would seem to me to be quite easy to obtain (if the interview were a spoof), and this would seem to me to be the only way that those who would attempt to disprove the veracity themselves might be able to meet Wiki standards for verifiability of their own claims that this interview is a fiction. 2657:

protect their image of "avatarship" with tooth and nail, as a way to keep their flock. Prem Pal Rawat seems to have managed to remove himself from these claims without suffering a major loss. This may be quite unique, and that is what attracted me to this subject about which I am writing a paper. Paradoxically, the only ones that care about these claims are those that feel betrayed that he decided

sequentially from the sat-sang. Note that there is no mention of "Whenever the great come, the worldly oppose them", and no mention of "Those who come to me are already saved". This sounds more like the voice of the mother promoting her little boy-guru as the Messiah, or overenthusiastic devotees vested in Judeo-Christian beliefs, rather that the voice of the 12 year old child-guru.

support at all for this accusation. It's time you did or gave up that scurrilous accusation.

quite to the contrary when asked direct questions by journalists and TV hosts.

4058:"I do not ask people to put me on a pedestal," he said. "But I am their teacher and guide and they love me. I love them too. Did Jesus ask to be put on a pedestal? Of course not.

I believed what Rawat told me, back in the 1970s. Now Rawat denies he ever said such things. Caveat emptor has to be the byword for current - and future - afficionados of his propagation, no?

I have already expressed my point of view: I do not see such contradiction between these two pages on 1999 Maharaji's website.

In an article named Journey that he published in his personal website on January 1999, Prem Rawat writes about this apparent contradiction: People through the years have tried to place me in a mold, and from the very early years I have not been able to oblige them.

The article speaks about a rift between Mishler and Prem Rawat at that time, so I think that it is relevant. Do you really think that that information is not relevant?

But as Jim/24.69.14.159 pointed out, he is simply following the example of the many words indicating contradictions and I think it is reasonable that when the word "however"/"nonetheless" is removed in this case then at least some of the other words should be removed too. I had removed some of them

Don't lecture me. The article has many such words and phrases. Do I need to point them all out to you? This isn't a matter about making value judgements or editorializing facts, it's simply a conventional way to acknowledge the contrast. Avoiding any sort of term like that frankly looks weird.

Now, should we move on to discussing how the quotes above might best be incorporated into the article? For one thing, I think that they clearly contradict Rawat's 1999 quote that suggests that a lot of these "big" ideas about him occured when he was "only eight" but that he's done what he could as

24.69.14.159 says : "Long after Rawat was "only eight" he was playing games about whether or not he was God", in fact, Prem Rawat says in the very quotes you provide that " You don't know what God is. God cannot be a human being. God is Light. God is Power. God cannot talk." Can he be more straight

Fact: Rawat spoke out of both sides of his mouth all the time. Many have speculated why. Perhaps it was just boredom but no matter. These are specific quotes that say what they say. It's funny to see you sidestep the individual claims he made. For instance, that he, the Perfect Saviour, has come to

Let me get this straight. I edit the article by adding something to it. You then edit my edit by, amongst other things, taking out any words that signify the contradiction between Rawat's two positions (I'm no stereotypical guru/I'm proudly the latest of a long line of stereotypical gurus). That

if you defend this statement about Mishler in the article then why do you insist on deleting comments by Mishler about Rawat or at least moving them to the criticism section? I think that this behavior of yours is indefensible and shows your double standards in editing this article.
