Press Release Summary = New Delhi, India, April 19 - In the past month, Prem Rawat,

Press Release Body = New Delhi, India, April 19 - In the past month, Prem Rawat,
known worldwide as Maharaji, has addressed more than 1.7 million people at events
throughout rural India. He traveled to many places where people had never seen him
before, in the states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Haryana. In
previous years, his events had been mostly in major cities of India. For the people
who live in these remote villages, not easily accessible by public transport, it was
impossible financially and physically to travel to hear him speak.
Responding to the many invitations from all over the subcontinent, arrangements were
made for him to travel by helicopter to reach out to those in rural India, without
any cost to them. The traveling operation included three custom-designed trailers
that open out to a small stage with high-quality AV equipment, including a
300-sqare-foot, state-of-the-art daylight projection screen, so everyone can hear
and see him easily from far away in the open fields where the events are held for
audiences of up to 300,000 people.
Following this tour, he returned to New Delhi, where he spoke to speak at a
three-day international event, attended by 30,000 people from over 40 countries.
Prem Rawat's message of a peace is receiving growing interest in India, as he
travels from village to village, to places such as Ballabhgarh, Jabalpur, Waidham,
Gorakpur, and Jaipur, to name a few.
Mina Vadher, a civil servant who attended the event in Gorakpur, said: "I feel so
privileged to be here. When we arrived, we had to park twenty minutes away because
there were so many people going to the event. The whole town was on the way
there-just a huge sea of people. When the crowds waited for Prem Rawat to come on
stage, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. I've learned so much from
him-mainly that life is for enjoying, and you've got to find the happiness that lies
within."
Ramil Vikash is a businessman who attended the event in Ballabgarh as well as the
international event in New Delhi. He said: "What is fascinating is that from the
simple people from the countryside to the sophisticated audience in New Delhi, Prem
Rawat\'s message is understood and welcome by all. I rely on him for finding
happiness within."
For Deepak Raj Bandhari, who traveled on the tour with Prem Rawat: "The response was
nothing short of phenomenal. Wherever he spoke at an event, people from many
villages would come to hear him. They came on foot, on bicycles, or an entire
village would come in trailers pulled by farm tractors. In one state where we went,
there were 8,000 who knew about his message before the event, and these 8,000 people
came with 200,000 guests. Throughout the tour, Prem Rawat has been emphasizing that
he can help people find peace in a practical way. Many people say they have been
waiting all their lives to hear a message like his. Being in these events, I saw how
listening to him unleashes a lot of hope in people that the peace they have been
looking for can finally become a reality."
