	Critical Enquiry
		Although Rawat's closest advisors and senior organizational officials were informed of Jagdeo's attacks over many years, Prem Rawat denied all knowledge of the issue prior to it being made public on the Internet.
		That Prem Rawat's organizations should have facilitated the activities of a paedophile profoundly damaged confidence even in some of Rawat's most committed followers and the repercussions of the revelations have still to be fully appreciated within the organizations.
		Critics of Rawat also complain, of his 'exclusive' meditation techniques, that they are available from hundreds of other teachers, and from books.

	Prem Rawat Critique - Inhibition of Speech-
		Prem Rawat's organisation, now called Elan Vital, has a history of seeking to inhibit free speech - as recently as 2003 attempts by lawyers Strook, Strook and Navan, acting for Elan Vital [ see this link] sought to remove critical information from the Internet - this attempt is recorded at Chilling Effects.
		Particular irony attaches to Prem Rawat's disregard for the value of free speech in the light of the strenuous efforts he has made to have himself associated with the United Nations.
		In 2005 Prem Rawat spoke to the privately run United Nations Association of Malaya - in subsequent media releases put out by The Prem Rawat Foundation this unofficial event was presented as having official standing and invoked the name of the UN Secretary General.

	Prem Rawat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1966, at age eight, Rawat succeeded to the role of Satguru and leadership of the DLM upon the death of his father, which was unusual since it was not in accordance with Hindu tradition of primogeniture.
		Rawat continued delivering the four techniques of Knowledge which, according to Chryssides, afford self-understanding and self-realization, in a manner that is independent of culture and not bound to the traditions of India.
		Prem Rawat addresses an audience of diplomats, and government and civic leaders at a runner-up event to the celebration of the UN's 60th anniversary at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco, where the UN Charter was signed in 1945.

		Yeah, wiki premies are gonna cut the critics and the criticism article...
		The second is my response to Prem Rawat's and Elan Vital's viscious backlash campaign to call us a hate-group. So, my deep visceral reaction has been to say I'm not a member of a group. Who wouldn't?
		I did a bit of minor editing in the criticism article today and was essentially told not to bother because it's being drastically reduced.

	Criticism of Prem Rawat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stephen Hunt, writes in Alternative Religions: A Sociological Introduction in 2003, that critics have focused on what appears to be his opulent lifestyle that they argue it is supported largely by the donations of his followers.
		Haan wrote in the article that he was a member of a critical movement within the Roman Catholic Church and that he was a student of theology at a Pastoral and Theology school in a small town in the Netherlands.
		Some of the criticism leveled at Prem Rawat derives from Bob Mishler, a former president of DLM, and Robert Hand after they parted ways with Prem Rawat in the 1970s.
