Prem Rawat, formerly calling himself Maharaji and before that Guru Maharaj Ji and before that Balyogeshwar Param Sant Shri Satgurudev Ji Maharaj, is a so-called International Ambassador for Peace, international speaker and author formerly calling himself the Lord of the Universe and Incarnation of God. His spurious teachings focus on claims of personal peace and self-knowledge through worship of himself and meditation using four crude techniques. He offers these meditation techniques which he calls "Knowledge (Gyan)" to anyone prepared to brnwash themselves beforehand and promotes himself as a peace educator. His teaching is based on listening to his speeches and believing his claims to be the only person on the planet who KNOWS rather than only believes. Unfortunately you have to take on faith what he says and believe he is the only person who truly knows. Rawat has addressed millions of people worldwide, most of whom live in India, where he remains a minor though traditional Indian Godman, emphasizing simply accepting his claims. You can explore more about him on this unofficial but very extensive site. This is the only website that contains a full biography of his life and career.

To pin Prem Rawat down is not easy. He has had different names and given himself different titles and has had quite a few public roles and personas, some of them seemingly contradictory.

  • Balyogeshwar - the young Indian Godboy and inheritor of his father's position as Satguru and spiritual head of Divya Sandesh Parishad 1966-71
  • Guru Maharaj Ji - the young Indian guru who came to the West and attracted a laerge group of counter-cultural youth and headed Divine Light Mission 1971-83
  • Maharaji - the mid-20s adult who rejected his past appearance and continued his career as leader of Élan Vital a supposedly non-religious meditation et et et 1984-2005
  • Prem Rawat - his major focus became gaining the appearance of international fame and respect through pretence and public relations' spin paid for by those who still think he is the Lord of the Universe. 2005 ->
