1. An Introduction to the Message of Mr Prem Rawat Self Discovery

2. The Message “What you are looking for is within. Your truth is within, your peace is within, and I can help you get in touch with it.” - Prem Rawat - Prem Rawat We have thousands of explanations for war, but not one why we should have peace. The generic definition of peace is the absence of war, but there is a peace that has nothing to do with arguments and nothing to do with wars. The resolution of conflict alone is not peace. There is a peace that is not temporary, not tied to politics, not found in the formulas of what the world thinks ought to be. It is not somebody’s vision, but resides within the individual, whether they are rich or poor, good or bad, right or wrong — even in their darkest hour, even when they are surrounded by an ocean of confusion and doubt. This peace is not the absence of anything. Real peace is the presence of something beautiful. Both peace and the thirst for it have been in the heart of every human being in every century and every civilization.

It does not come from a book. It is not a concept or an idea. It is based on one thing… YOU are ALIVE …and because you are alive, there is a possibility that you can be content.”

5. - Tengku Ahmad Rithauddeen, President, United Nations Association, Malaysia We at the United Nations Association of Malaysia and the United Nations Development Programme see his message as a true reflection of the hopes, aspirations, and ideals of the United Nations, whose aim is international peace and security. A few words – What people say… Prem Rawat’s message is that he speaks of the possibility for every person to find within themselves a peace and happiness that is not dependent on circumstances. What I also find interesting is that he sees peace not just as the absence of war, but rather as a feeling within to get connected with, to cultivate for oneself. - Emilio Colombo, Former Italian Prime Minister and Former President of the European Parliament For the last forty years, as a messenger of peace, he has been making a constant effort to teach a lesson of peace. I would like to express my heartfelt feeling towards him as a most trusted and respected person who takes a message of joy to society and society puts it into practice. Doing so is the greatest success there can in life. I want this message to reach the people around the world. - Shri Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, Vice President of the Republic of India ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -*-*-* -*-*-* -*-*-*-
