The Opulence Of Prem Rawat (Maharaji)

This list of references to Prem Rawat's (aka Guru Maharaj Ji aka Maharaji) opulent lifestyle and insatiable desire for money was created by the indefatigable Will Beback on Wikipedia. It refers mainly to articles related to Rawat's early career as that was the only time he was successful, controversial and ridiculous enough for the media to be interested in him. The later quotes are mainly from academic and popular books in which he is mentioned. This is not an exhaustive list as continuing to examine the public record for further information on this topic is far too boring a task for me. In fact, it is later that his wealth and cash flow increased to greater levels as his desire for the latest personal jet, bases (mansions), cars, electronics and general all round luxury really took off and enough of his followers were wealthy enough to provide the money.

Prem Rawat is very rich. He left India in 1971 at the age of 13, with no money, no education, and was disowned by his mother three years later. He has never had a paying job, never run a business, and does not own the patents to any successful inventions (contrary to rumors amongst his followers). His money has come from donations from his followers, including inheritances, trust funds, and shares in some very successful businesses. The statements on Élan Vital and Prem Rawat Foundation websites that he supports himself and his family by independent means, and that he is a successful private investor, are lies. All his money has come from the guru business.

The question is, if Rawat was a fraud, who continued playing the guru after he grew up because he realized he could make a lot of money, he would be behaving exactly like he does. So, if he is genuine, he is deliberately acting like a fraud in order to.... what? ... test his devotees? ... ensure that only the true students will find him?

The fact is, if Rawat was sincere in trying to reach as many people as possible, he would remove all obstacles, especially the appearance that he is obsessed with material possessions. He could also use his wealth to advertise his message, instead of constantly soliciting funds from his followers to pay for every propagation initiative.

The fact is, even when Rawat attends speaking engagements, the emphasis is on ensuring that Rawat, his family, and his mistress, are kept in levels of luxury usually reserved for heads of state, all at the expense of the premies in the area where the event is held. For a detailed description of this process, read how events are organised.

Fundraising has always been an important activity in Divine Light Mission and Élan Vital. Although 'Knowledge' is free, there is a constant need for cash to maintain expensive properties around the world, and the expensive lifestyle of Maharaji and his family. Expenses, which include a $40 million private jet, two helicopters (a Bell 206L and a Bell 430 worth over $4.5 million), a $7 million yacht, a multi-million dollar home in Malibu, a large house and grounds in Surrey, England, land and a home at the 'Ivorys Rock Conference Centre' in Australia, as well as a 'residence' at "Fig Tree Pocket" (Brisbane suburb) in Queensland, Australia, have been justified by saying they help spread Maharaji's teachings. The ownership of these assets has always been clouded in mystery, but some curious ex-premies have been doing some research.

"You know some people don't like rich people. They have this idea or that idea of what it is to be rich. But they really don't know. It's not easy to be rich. It isn't. Once you've made your first million, you need another to protect it. Then you have two million, and you'll need another two million to protect those two million. Then you'll have four million and you'll need another four million to protect those four million, and then you'll have eight million. Of course then you'll need another 8 million to protect those eight million and then you'll have 16 million... it isn't easy, it's not what you think."Maharaji - Long Beach, December 1995

Due to Élan Vital's total lack of transparency, very few details are available about Maharaji's present jet.

What we know is that M purchased his Gulfstream V in the fall of the year 2000. It was a second hand aircraft, and it's previous owner was the late king Hussein of Jordan. It was about $40 million worth.

Here is a detailed brochure on this jet: Gulfstream V Brochure.

In brief: Mary Holle, who is a premie and received knowledge in the 70s, is the president of Seva Corporation (the company that's owning Prempal Rawat and his family's residence). Seva Corp. is the actual owner of various valuable items used by Mr Rawat: his residence in Malibu, a single engine aircraft, at least one of Prem Rawat's helicopters (see also Bell 430) and a glider. All the following information is public and can be accessed via the Internet.

Note: the premies purchase the house for $250,000 in 1974, then Maharaji sold it in 1978 for about $5.8 million to Seva Corp.

Some obvious questions:

1/ The most interesting thing one can notice is the sale of Maharaji's house on 5/31/78 to Seva Corporation for $5.2 million. Who got the $5.2 million?

One very likely scenario:The premies bought the house for Maharaji (the delapitaded one that Maharaji wrote a letter to the premies saying was so 'beautiful') in 1974. Then, in 1978, it was sold to Seva Corporation for $5.2 million.

2/ was the sale of Maharaji's own house to a shell corporation controlled by his cult-devotees, used as a way to transfer cash to the former Lord of the Universe, when it was DLM money (raised from the premies) who bought the house in the first place?

Trouble around the Heliport

Westside; 9; Zones Desk

Maharaji Denied in Bid to Triple Copter Use

The one-time "perfect master" of the Divine Light Mission has been denied permission from the county's Regional Planning Commission to triple the number of helicopter landings annually at his Malibu mountain-ridge estate.

Maharaji-the professional name now used by Prem Pal Singh Rawat, formerly known as Guru Maharaj Ji-can continue descending from the skies to his landing pad 12 times a year, the annual limit imposed for five years in April, 1983. Six landings were originally allowed in 1980 because Maharaji agreed to install a 45,000-gallon emergency water storage and pumping system that would be available to county Fire Department helicopters.

But planning commissioners rejected, by a 3-1 vote Wednesday, Maharaji's request to increase the limit to 36. The majority said it was constrained by a commission policy adopted in September, 1984, that forbids additional copter flights except for those that provide a public benefit.

"First, you wanted six; then you went to 12; now you come back and want 36," said commission Vice Chairman Sadie Clark to Maharaji's attorney, Linda Gross.

"I can absolutely see no reason why this is necessary. We cannot favor one applicant over another, and there's not any justification for this."

Maharaji's need for more flights "has to do with a change in circumstances," Gross said. Until the spring of 1984, the one-time guru was seldom at his mansion, called Anacapa View Estates, off Trancas Canyon 600 feet above Pacific Coast Highway.

He and his family visited there a few times a year but they also spent time in Miami and abroad.

Then Maharaji dropped his ties with the Divine Light organization and settled full time at the Malibu estate, Gross said.

He continues to lecture around the world on self-awareness, however, and needs the helicopter mostly for travel between Los Angeles International Airport and his home, the attorney said.

Gross said the firefighting equipment at the helipad should qualify as a public benefit. She said that Maharaji also intends to place utility lines underground near his estate, to minimize the danger to copters flying over Trancas Canyon.

But when questioned by Commissioner Delta Murphy, Gross said that Maharaji would continue to allow county access to the emergency equipment even if the limit remained at 12 flights.

Then Murphy asked about burying the utility lines. "If it's really a safety factor, wouldn't he want to do it now? Is it predicated on additional flights?" Gross said it was not.

Only Commissioner Norma Bard supported the increase, saying few helipads provided the added fire protection that Maharaji's does. "I do not regard this as precedent-setting," she said. "I don't think we will ever find a similar situation."

A representative of the county Fire Department, Capt. Jerry Peskett, said Maharaji's helipad is "acceptable, but not necessary" for battling blazes in the brush-covered Malibu hills.

That led Commission Chairman Stanley Gould to say, "I can see nothing to gain by granting the additional flights."

Gross said she did not know if Maharaji would appeal the decision to the county Board of Supervisors.

Bell 430 Helicopter

We are reliably informed that Prem Rawat acquired a new Bell 430 in 2000. The Bell website (linked here, with pictures) does not quote a price for this model, but other sites quote prices above US$4.5 million.

If anyone knows the registration number of the 430, and whether Maharaji still has the 206L, we would be very grateful so that EPO can be kept up to date.

Oh, and in case anybody is worried whether Maharaji's piloting skills can handle such a top of the range machine, he trained to fly it at the Bell Training Acadamy in Fort Worth.

With this propagation tool, it's no wonder propagation has boomed since 2000!

Amaroo - The Ivorys Rock Conference Centre (IRCC)

According to a testimony posted on the forum: "The land content of Amaroo is owned by a company based in Jersey UK (Myrine Investments). The company then lease the land to elan vital in australia for 99 years. Élan vital owns the company Ivory's Rock Conference Center and has given the company the rights to run and develop the property. Élan vital raises millions of dollars in loans from its members to develop the place via Ivory's Rock Conference Center.

See also Ivory's Rock Conference Centre's website.

In brief: Amaroo is owned by Myrine Investments and rented by Élan Vital Inc. Funds are provided by Prem Rawat's followers.

According to Élan Vital (1997):

"Ivory's Rock Conference Centre, near Ipswich, will spend $1million in the next 12 months on an upgrade which will allow the facility to cater for live-in conferences of up to 400 people.

This is in addition to close to $1million spent earlier this year to provide additional facilities and basic infrastructure to cater for a 4,000-delegate international convention for the Australian educational and self awareness organization, Élan Vital.

Jan McGregor, director of Ivory's Rock Conference Centre, says the planned expenditure will provide for construction of 200 deluxe cabins in bushland beside the newly opened 400-seat conference hall.

"These, along with the necessary dining facilities, will allow us to target the executive retreat market in much larger numbers than is normal for this type of facility," says McGregor, who with partner, Terry McKinnell, owns the company which operates the centre for American investment company, Myrine.

"This will allow us to develop a unique four-star centre just a 45-minute drive from Brisbane's CBD. We will be able to target a local niche market, but also make a bid to attract large conferences of Asian executives who want to sample an Australian bush experience in a luxury setting."

She says while the additional accommodation will allow Ivory's Rock to target larger conferences, it will continue to focus on "bread and butter" one-day conferences because of its proximity to both Brisbane and Ipswich.

In addition, the centre will market its new 4,000-seat amphitheatre for special one-off outdoor events.

The amphitheatre, along with sealing of roads and provision of town water for Ivory's Rock, accounted for much of the $1million spent earlier this year.

"We needed to provide it to accommodate Élan Vital's 4,000 delegate convention," McGregor says.

"We had 1,200 accommodated on site with the rest coming in on a daily basis."

McGregor says that Élan Vital has a 15-year contract with the centre to stage its conventions on a biennial basis.

"In essence they sub-let the grounds from us to ensure that their conventions always take precedence," McGregor says.

"It means that every two years we retreat from the market-place for several months to put their convention in place.

"However, having this long-term contract and the assured income it provides has allowed us to develop our facilities much more quickly.

"Some of these, such as the amphitheatre, would not have been given the same level of priority if you were aiming at a general market without having to concentrate on that one special event."

McGregor says Ivory's Rock is also able to target the budget market, providing luxury tent accommodation for delegates.

"With our current infrastructure, we can cater for up to 1,000 people with the on-site infrastructure we now have in place," she says.

"Even easier to handle are smaller groups, around 500, which is still a large number as far as most live-in convention facilities are concerned."

As well as targeting existing markets, McGregor says the centre is also examining developing its own product in joint venture with other providers.

"One we are looking at is the provision of a conference aimed at executive health and well-being, involving people from the health industry," she says.

McGregor also says that the size of the property means several events can be run at the one time.

"We can have a 1,000-strong convention with everyone living in, and at the same time run a one-day conference, and keep the two events completely separate," she says."
