Prem Rawat, widely known as Maharaji, articulates a message of hope in a time of rapid change and turmoil. Through "Words of Peace" he points to the possibility that each individual can find peace within, whatever is going on around them.

Maharaji's teachings 

Message and teachings

When Prem Rawat came in the West in 1971 as a child, he offered a practical means to have an experience within for those willing to practice the techniques of Knowledge one hour a day, and who had a desire to understand something more about life. As years passed, and as Rawat grew as a person, the formulation of his message became more universal, and as a result audiences interested in only his message and not in a certain practice have grown. At many events at public forums or at Universities, like those at the Italian Parliament, Salamanca University in Spain, or the Universal Forum of Cultures in Barcelona, Rawat has challenged people to experience peace and fulfillment. Rawat now attracts various audiences: some come to him for his message of peace, which they find inspiring, and others who come to him for clarity and guidance, in the form of the Keys and the techniques of Knowledge.

Maharaji's Keys 

The thirst to be content

The Keys

Currently, Prem Rawat's teachings are summarized in "The Keys," a collection of videos and written materials becoming available worldwide to all people wishing to prepare to learn the techniques which he teaches for finding peace within. The Keys are being made available on-line in digital media format at no cost and through DVD distribution on a lending basis, at cost of only shipping and handling.

In these Keys, Prem Rawat provides a structured outline of his teachings in five segments totaling more than 5 hours. These Keys are the first ever all inclusive compilation created by Prem Rawat of his own teachings. The first five Keys were specifically recorded in a studio by Prem Rawat and are supported by one hundred hours of videos excerpted from his addresess. They allow people interested in taking the journey within to make their own progress at their own pace, by watching these videos completely in private and progress from one Key to the next when they feel ready. The sixth Key is the "Knowledge Session", in which persons ready to learn the techniques are taught by Prem Rawat via a multimedia presentation available in fifty languages. These techniques are taught at no cost.

Learning the techniques, Prem Rawat says, is just like planting a seed that needs to be watered with the water of the person's efforts. He asks people who have learned these techniques to maintain the determination to practice in earnest, to allow themselves to be inspired, and to court clarity. He asks them to be clear on what this Knowledge can and cannot do: "Knowledge does only one thing", he says, "and that is to allow the person with the proper understanding-and with the willingness and readiness to allow themselves to be transformed-to find peace within".

There is within each person, Prem Rawat says, a fundamental need to find peace, joy, happiness. These are different names, he says, for the same thing. He also calls this need "thirst," and sees this thirst as the motivating force for taking a journey within:

"The thirst has always been there, but we have done a marvelous job of covering it up. And because we have covered it up, it needs to be rediscovered. Yes, the understanding once was there, that joy and happiness were the most important part of this existence. And then other things have crept along and they have taken quite a bit of the priority. And for so many centuries, a voice has been calling out: "What you are looking for is within you."

Inner Journey: A Spirited Conversation About Self-discovery

The Inner Journey with Burt Wolf and Prem Rawat. A spirited conversation about self-discovery. During the past 40 years, journalist Burt Wolf has been traveling around the world, reporting on the customs and traditions that give meaning to peoples' lives. During those years, he says, he discovered that the ones that were most valuable to him were the ones that gave him a sense of inner peace and self- knowledge. A few years ago, he told a friend that he was interested in taking a break from traveling around the world and wanted to make a trip to the inside---to find out more about his feelings and how they might relate to the universal themes of life. His friend suggested that he talks to Prem Rawat who, this friend said, talks about the possibility of knowing contentment in our lifetime. Prem Rawat, the friend said, points out that the forces of modern society may stimulate our desires and drive us outward in a search for happiness, but that lasting happiness can only be found within. Burt attended two lectures by Prem Rawat and found his message to be timely, quite significant and very entertaining. Following that experience, and over the course of a year, he proceeded to tape a series of conversations with Prem Rawat. They talked about his life, Burt's life, what is going on in the world today, what makes people happy and what makes us sad and how one can choose to live.

Peace Is Possible: The Life and Message of Prem Rawat

Peace Is Possible is the first full and complete story of Prem Rawat. It documents his extraordinary life, from growing up with a father who was a revered master, to the day he first addressed audiences at age three, to being discovered by hippies at his home by the Himalayan foothills when he was a child, to his dramatic arrival in the West at thirteen, to today. When Prem Rawat was six years old, his father and beloved teacher showed him a special gift, a practical means to discover a world of peace within him. When he was eight, his father passed away, and he accepted the responsibility of spreading the message of peace. He attended school during the week and addressed audiences in the tens of thousands on weekends. He has spent the last forty years inspiring millions of people from all walks of life and offering this same gift to people. Controversy has not eluded him: he was only eight when the Indian media wrote that he was a sixty-year-old posing as a child. Few journalists have gone beyond stereotypes and taken the time to get a real sense of what he offers. While his message is translated into more than seventy languages, it remains a little-known secret, spread mostly through word of mouth. This book lifts the veil on Prem Rawat--the man, his life, his message.
