And It Is Divine Magazine
The Light Years, 1970 - 1976

Volume III, Issue 4, Winter 1976

'And It Is Divine' was the name of this colour magazine published by Divine Light Mission in the USA from November 1972 until the late 1970's when it was replaced by 'Élan Vital'. It began as a monthly magazine attempting to carry a wide spectrum of articles relating to the wider alternative culture with highbrow pretensions and ended the same as all other Divine Light Mission magazines printing pictures and speeches of Prem Rawat's or his immediate family or close followers.

1975: Keep on Truckin' 19 October, Sydney, Australia

But the Perfect Master knows, because he is at a point which is so clear, which is so beautiful, which is so perfect. And this is why we call him "Perfect Master," the Master of Perfectness, he who is one with it, he who has accomplished, who has mastered, that subject, that art, that beauty, he who is the complete one, he who can show us how incomplete we are, and who can show us the path to perfectness. The stupidity of man is that he comes into this world and he repeats himself again and again, and again, and again. But a Perfect Master comes, he always comes … In a way, you might even call him stubborn and stupid, because he always repeats himself, too. He comes again and again and again into this world, but he comes for a very definite purpose.
