Prem Rawat, the spiritual predator known as Guru Maharaj Ji, Maharaji, the Lord the the Universe, and the Perfect Master, has been feeding off of the ignorance and gullibility of spiritual seekers for forty years. This article looks at how Prem Rawat twists the real meaning of esoteric concepts such as "Knowledge", combines it with four yoga techniques that are able of inducing "ecstatic" states in certain people, and uses the experience to reinforce a subjective view of oneself and the world that he passes off as "Knowledge", all the while binding the individuals to the "Master" by claiming that he alone can offer this experience.
The distortions of Prem Rawat are typical of many gurus of the New Age. They serve to keep the genuine seeker trapped in a spiritual dead end.

Marrying Heart with Mind to See Everything!
The Fourth way is the path where a person works simultaneously on the level of the physical body, the Heart center and the intellect. It is even naive - if not utterly stupid - for anyone to be exposed to the facts of Prem's teaching (which Mr See collected, put together and here shares) and continue to call it a "path of devotional love". There is the Way of the Monk as Gurdjieff calls the way of the heart, but Prem's path is obviously not it. Evidence suggests that his is the way of Fraud and deception over the gullible.

Quote of the Day
The current efforts of our President, his heroic deeds, will not be fully appreciated any time soon. His mission is to extricate the country, year by year, millimeter by millimeter, from the national, financial, economic and other types of traps we got caught in since 1917.
- Lieutenant General Leonid Petrovich Reshetnikov

Regarding Mr. See's article, people who pursue the path of Jnana Yoga (e.g. The Fourth Way; the path of intellectual discrimination if you like) just don’t get people who pursue the path of Bhakti Yoga (the path of devotional love). As Hafiz once said, “Oh thou who art trying to learn the marvel of love from the copybook of reason, I am very much afraid that you will never really see the point.” This is the danger in judging the heart from the vantage point of the mind.
