	TI:Prem Rawat - Citizendium
		Prem Rawat was born in Haridwar, northern India, on December 10, 1957.
		Rawat was elevated to a much greater place in the practice of Knowledge, many people returned to ashram life and there was a shift back from secular tendencies towards ritual and messianic beliefs and practices.
		Prem Rawat's teachings have been described by scholars of religion and other authors in a variety of terms and contexts, from Rawat's beginnings as an Indian Satguru at the age of 8, through the various evolutions he undertook to make his message more universally appealing.

	Prem Rawat Critique - Ron Geaves
		Although 'beration' is not an explicit feature in the operation of Elan Vital, the acceptance or refusal by Rawat of an 'invitation', is still seen in terms of success or failure by many of his followers and is a key part of the dynamic which supports the garnering of donations to fund Rawat's travels.
		The financing of Rawat's travels may be justified in terms of Elan Vital's 'brief' but the demands of good corporate governance require that there be a degree of independence in the awarding of commercial contracts, charitable grants and expenditure which may seem to be seen to disproportionately benefit an individual.
		As Rawat was involved at a personal level in the ownership of land on which the Amaroo development has taken place, Geaves' hypothesis if correct would seem to imply that an improper relationship must have existed between the Directors and Officers of the Australian EV subsidiaries and Prem Rawat.

		The organizations that support Prem Rawat's work as well as current students categorically deny these and other accusations, labeling the ex-premies an insignificantly small hate group of no more than a handful of individuals who constantly harass Rawat and his students [59] and impinge on freedom of belief with their intolerance [60].

	Prem Rawat Critique - Ron Geaves
		The only published accounts of Rawat's relationship with individuals who have had legal and functional responsibilities within the promoting organisations are statements from three individuals all of whom had separated from the organisations and who had rejected Rawat as a teacher.
		The financing of Rawat's travels may be justified in terms of Elan Vital's 'brief' but the demands of good corporate governance require that there be a degree of independence in the awarding of commercial contracts, charitable grants and expenditure which may seem to be seen to disproportionately benefit an individual.
		As Rawat was involved at a personal level in the ownership of land on which the Amaroo development has taken place, Geaves' hypothesis if correct would seem to imply that an improper relationship must have existed between the Directors and Officers of the Australian EV subsidiaries and Prem Rawat.

	Spiritual Predator: Prem Rawat AKA Maharaji - Dark-Truth.org (the Paranormal, Conspiracies, Occult, Ancient History, ...
		In 1966 at age eight Prem Rawat succeeded to the role of Satguru and leadership of the [Divine Light Mission] upon the death of his father which was unusual since it was not in accordance with Hindu tradition of primogeniture.
		Prem Rawat has never said that this 'mystical' usage was wrong, nor has he ever said that the 'Knowledge' that he teaches is a different Knowledge from that which his father taught.
		To the extent that Prem Rawat acknowledges that there is an ambiguity around what is meant by 'Knowledge' he has gone no further than suggest that concern with the meaning of words is irrelevant and that it is the experience that he delivers that he wishes to be judged on.
