My Spiritual Quest

Maharaji (aka Prem Rawat)

Prem Rawat, known to many as Maharaji, speaks with simplicity about our innate need for happiness. He presents a practical way for individuals to enjoy a natural source of contentment within themselves, which can be felt irrespective of circumstances or lifestyle.

I was first introduced to the teachings of Maharaji from my older brother when I was around 9 years old. He used to go to the weekly meetings, called Satsang back then, in the city and take me and my other brother with him. We would first go to the meeting then he would pay for about an hour at the video arcade afterwards, so of course we loved going. At first I remember always looking at the clock waiting for the meeting to finish so we could get to the arcade. But as the weeks went on I asked more questions and started to listen. It was fairly interesting, a few people would take turns in getting up to th microphone and just talk about anything that was in their hearts, just as Maharaji does. Those types of meetings don’t exist anymore, they have video presentations of recent talks Maharaji has done around the world. I’m fairly certain you can find a group that does that in just about every city in the world. It’s always free but donations are appreciated to help pay for the hall ect.

I just love the simplicity of it all. He just speaks basic truths about life and the heart and offers a practical way to quench the thirst you have felt your entire life. He calls it Knowledge. Previously you would have to have to wait until he was in your area and ask to receive Knowledge but things have changed. He now has a process called The Keys which are 6 DVD sets, 5 which prepare you for the gift of Knowledge and the 6th being Knowledge itself. I am up to Key 3 and have moved countries so will have to find out where I get the next Key from.

He doesn’t give you anything except for a way to look within and find the answers that have always been there. I could talk about this for hours but you should experience it for yourself. Everyone will have their own relationship with Maharaji and his teachings, it’s a completely unique journey, just for you. I have listened to hours and hours of him speaking on tape, CD and DVD and it most definitely helps me feel calmer and to realise whatever I am looking for is and has always been inside of me.

Here are some links for you to find out more about him. There is a information pack called Discovering More which is of course free and will give you an introduction.
