Best Quotes from Prem Rawat's Speeches
Since around 2005, Prem Rawat has claimed he has been spreading a Message of Peace since he was 3 years old. He has been making speeches and peace has been part of those speeches but he has always claimed to be the sole source of peace on the face of this earth, that the omnipotent power God has incarnated in his human body.
Dear Children of God, why are you weeping? Haven't you learned the lesson that your Master taught you? The Perfect Master never dies. Maharaj Ji is here, amongst you now. Recognise him, obey him, and worship him. - India, August 1, 1966
"Peace Bomb" speech, India Gate, Delhi, India, November 8 1970
If you do not obey what Maharaj Ji says, what is the use of your living in this world? Rather you should die of shame! Now Guru Maharaj Ji has come. Whenever He came before, you did not accept Him. Now I have come again to reveal the Knowledge, and still you do not understand me. Why don't you realize? Why is this curtain of darkness shadowing you? Kaliyuga will come to an end and Satyuga will start and people will listen to me and act accordingly. Do you think it is a joke? The great leaders think that I have come to rule and yes, they are right! I will rule the world, and just watch how I will do it. Even the lion and sheep will embrace each other. Has there been such a king before? Krishna was not such a king. Rama was not such a king. There were lesser powers in Ram, there were lesser powers in Krishna, but I have come to the world with full powers. Accept my words, accept me. I will give you Knowledge. If you mistake my meaning, if you mistake a single word of what I am saying, I will not forgive you. Those who are shameful or bothered about social respect ask for forgiveness. I do not bother about social respect. I do not feel shy of anyone because I have entrusted the reins of my life to Guru Maharaj Ji."Peace Bomb" speech, India Gate, Delhi, India, November 8 1970
I declare that I will establish peace in this world. Just give me the reins and let me rule and I will rule in such a way that even Rama, Hariscandra, Krishna and other kings could not have ruled like that! That day is fast approaching. So arise, awake, open the ears of each man and tell him the time has come! … I swear by my mother who has give me birth, that I will give you peace. … Give me your love and I will give you peace. Surrender the reins of your life to me and I will give you salvation. I am the source of peace in this world. Many times I have come but this time I have come with more power than ever before. … I declare that I will establish peace in this world. … Therefore, dear premies, the time has come. See how peace will be established in the world. There will be peace on earth. That peace which disappeared shall prevail again. It will come, and once again the world will understand. So listen to me and act accordingly. Bow down before Guru Maharaj Ji! … Therefore, dear premies, the time has come for restlessness to be destroyed and the Kingdom of Peace to be established. Whether you take it as my prophecy or anything else, the Kingdom of Peace will be established soon.
Golden Age, Number 49, November 1978 and Satguru Has Come, Shri Hans Productions film, 1972Guru Maharaj Ji is so kind to humanity. First of all he created God, the God who has given us this human form. And then He comes into this world. What is the nature of this kindness He gives? It is such that He gives us the most precious thing in the world. - London England, 16 July 1971
When he is specifically asked whether or not he considers himself a human, however, he pauses, as though figuring out the answer. "Yes, I am a human," he says, finally. "Hands bone, lungs. But guru is greater than God because if you go to guru, guru will show you God." - Newsweek Feature Service As he sat amid papers marked "Top Sacred" at the crowded Divine Light Mission house last week, some of the faithful who came daily to sit at his feet sought to define his relation with God. "You give your devotion to God through me," the Maharaj explained. "I multiply it many times and then send it to Him." Did that mean, asked one disciple, that they should call him God? "I am human - hands, bones, lungs," the boy responded. "But guru is greater than God because if you go to guru, guru will show you God." - Newsweek magazine, 2nd August 1971
When God takes human form He is Perfect Master. Perfect. Because, except for God, nobody's perfect. So when He is the Perfect Master, He is Himself. - Denver Ashram, Colorado, 18 September 1971
Guru Maharaj Ji, what about the future?
- The time for famine, thunder, death and bombs is coming soon. The time is getting very near. Every time you see a watch, see the second hand, how smoothly it is going on, and so fast. The time is coming nearer and nearer. For the bombs will explode. There will be great famine and thunder. Many of these terrible events will happen. Many people will die. Those people who'll be unto the ark, which is Light, who will be in the shelter of that ark, which is Light, will be left. Otherwise everybody will be finished. Everybody will just finish. This is what Jesus has prophesied, that at the time when the Kingdom of Heaven will approach nearer and nearer, incredible things will happen - and then there'll be the Kingdom of Heaven. And I'm really proud to say this, that after that there'll be the Kingdom of Heaven. So smooth, there'll be no bumps, policeman won't have any pistols, knives, they won't have to move like they are now moving. There'll be peace all around, nobody will be unsatisfied, there will be no thunders anymore, no famines, and no terrific experiences. God Himself will come to be the president or the ruler of the whole universe and it will be far out. So get ready, prepare yourselves. Make this Knowledge a shield to protect yourself from all those bumps. Otherwise, you'll be the first victims of the bombs. Surdas has also said that there will he terrible things, and only those people who have got that Knowledge will br saved, otherwise, wiped off. So this thing is coming nearer. America is ready, and just bringing bombs to those guns. There is Vietnam, America, East Pakistan, West Pakistan, China is preparing for India, and Russia is also preparing for something else. England is also preparing for something else, world war is about to come. But, in that world war, people who have received this Knowledge will be saved, people who have known God will be saved. Otherwise, of all the people, nobody will be saved. - October 1971, TorontoAnd I'll tell you now, you don't meditate, meditate for me, you meditate for yourself. You, you should get high, I'm high, I'm high enough, You should get high. You need this meditation because you want to get high. Not me. I'm high, meditate, you want to get to this point where you can also get to this meditate state. I've given you this Knowledge therefore meditate, meditate on it. And all premies must understand, is a very important point. I must explain to everyone in America, I'm not scared of telling them this point because it's true, it's a true point, there is a going to be a soon, the time is coming soon where you're going, going to see a great, strange thing happening, really far-out thing happening. The time is coming this it's very near. And soon, maybe this world will be able to realize who is God. Not only believe on Him, know God exists. Blessing to all the premies. - Montrose Colorado, June 26, 1972
Guru Maharaj Ji, what does it feel like to be the Lord of the universe? - Rawat: What should I tell you about it? - Q: Just what it's like - A: What it's like? Nothing. Because you are not in yourself; something else; somewhere else; one with someone else - Q: How is it to be like a puppet? - A: You don't know … Do you? When you become Lord of the universe, you become a puppet, really! Nothing else; not "you." Not "I," not "you," no egos, no pride, nothing else. One with humbleness; servant. Very, very beautiful. Always in divine bliss. Creating your own environment -- wherever you go, doesn't matter. - Portland, Oregon, June 29, 1972
So who is Guru? When God Himself incarnates in this body, He is called Guru - Swiss Alps Festival, 26 August 1972
And I challenge this, to the whole world, that by Divine United Organization, and by the Grace of Almighty Lord, and the power of Knowledge, the bliss of the Knowledge, again peace in the world can be established, in the same way as people have dreamed of, and the kingdom of heaven on this Earth will be possible and is possible, if you work together, with cooperation and in the manner I have explained to you, of Divine United Organizations. - April Fools Day, 1973
And as a matter of fact, I am the Perfect Master because I can reveal them this peace. I'm not saying that I am bodily perfect, I am not perfect because of this reason or that reason, but because I can reveal them this Knowledge, which is perfect. - Alexandra Palace, London, July 13 1973
And so premies, the Perfect Master comes, and he comes in the human body. I mean, he doesn't have to. All he has to do is have a body that's as huge as the world -- and even bigger, as the universe -- and then pick up the whole world on his little finger and say, "You guys want to live, or should I blow you away?" He could do that, because we call him Almighty. And if we call him Almighty, it's a jazz for him to do this. It wouldn't take him anything. Because he's perfect. And he could just very well do that and say, "Look. If you don't realize this Knowledge, all I am going to do is -- boomp! -- and you are never going to know what hit you." But he doesn't do that. Why? He bears up with everything in this world. Look at us humans; look at the people of this world. Every time he comes, they say, "Forget it, he is not the one; he can't be the one. He doesn't have Knowledge. This is some crazy thing." And I mean, if really this ever happened, that the Almighty, the All Perfect, just picked up the whole world in his hand and said, "Should I kick your … - Guru Puja Festival Caracas, Venezuela, July 23, 1975
Because 'til now the world has been - "Well, look. This car runs on gasoline, not on your - some god's Grace!" And it's just like, it's very, very simple. Either God miscalculated and made too few dinosaurs for twenty-first century and we ran out of them - and obviously that has to be the only solution. Because he didn't do it right! He just - he figured somehow - his calculator went wrong, his batteries went flat on it or something must have happened where he didn't produce enough dinosaurs and so now we are out of them and, poof! That's that. And all we can go up to God and say, "God, you made a terrible mistake! And you got to pay, you know, penalty for it! You got to start raining oil again." - Holi Festival, Florida, March 20, 1977
And this world would just completely collapse if Perfect Master stopped coming. I can't possibly even imagine or foresee what this world would be like. Because it would be completely incredible to just see the beginning and the end of the world in the same minute, in the same second, in the same hour. It'd be just gone! Finished! I mean, with the Perfect Master in this world there's enough problems. And with him not here, it just feels like the whole thing would just go and that would be it. - Malaga, Spain, Sunday, 26 March 1978 and Divine Times, Holi Issue, 1979 Volume 8, Number 2
And so the greatest Magician of all is here. So premies, the point is that if you want to watch the show and that's what we are here for, to watch the show why don't we open our eyes? Why don't we sort of wake up? Why don't we look at the stage, and watch the Greatest Magician perform his miracles (applause and cheering) every day, every second of the life that he does?
Miami/Florida, Thursday, April 6, 1978If you are a devotee, then you have to worship your Guru Maharaj Ji forever and ever and ever. Twenty-four hours a day, two hours a day. If your day is two-hours long, two-hours long. If your night is twelve-hours long, another twelve hours. Every moment, every second. And then the only thing is that happens, that happens; but when we understand what it is all about. So far we are naive, so far we go around playing the games of … - Guru Puja, Tucson, Arizona, Friday, July 14, 1978
"If you have a Perfect Master you can't do anything but worship him every day of your life. You tell me, if you really have that Perfect Master in your life, what can you do except to worship him every day? Get up and worship him, pray, know, surrender. Every day of your life!"
Guru Maharaj Ji, you can only worship Guru Maharaj Ji from heart and that's it, from you love and that's it and to me to come to an occasion, to me to come to a place, to come to a point in our hearts where we can even pray to Guru Maharaj Ji, where we can even see Guru Maharaj Ji that's the greatest opportunity in our lives, that is the greatest thing in our lives. - Guru Puja festival, Lingfield, England, 21st June 1979This is bad place for a party or any kind of festive occasion for that matter. But we haven't come here to have, to have a party and yet something which is even better than a party. To fill up not with junk food and then plop, plop, fizz, fizz, alka-seltzer at the end of it. We haven't come here for that - Guru Puja festival, Lingfield, England, 21st June 1979
It reminds me of this one joke, I heard a long, long time ago, you know. There was this one guy (rubs nose a lot) and one day (laughs) I don't know how to even tell you this joke. One day I guess he got his finger, you know, messed up not hurt or anything just messed up in some doo doo whatever you'd say it and so he came into the village and he said (rubs nose), "You know what happened today, I got my finger all messed up you know in the doo" and there was this one guy there said "Oh my God I can't understand that, if that was me, that would happen to me, I'd cut off my finger. You know washing just isn't good enough." And so 2 days go by and the same thing happens to this guy too, this time he's still got it on his finger and he walks like this (holds his arm our straight) through the whole village on his way to the ironsmith to get it cut off. And he walks all the way over to the ironsmith and he doesn't wanna even look at it and he puts his finger on the little table of the ironsmith and says "Pick up your hatchet and cut my finger off." And the ironsmith looks a little moody nature, a little funny guy so what he did, he turned the hatchet the other way and instead of slamming it on his finger, he just slammed it right next to his finger and it made a big bang noise, it didn't hit him, just made a big bang noise and he thought his finger was cut (laughs) off and so he took his finger and stuck it in his mouth and said "Ouch!" you know. For one moment this guy was ready to get his finger cut off and the other moment "Ouch!" and nothing had happened his finger was just still intact and full of it too. (laughter) And I sincerely hope that's all it is, is a joke not the real thing you know I guess a gruesome twosome - Hans Jayanti Festival 10/11/1979
When that Perfect Master comes in this world and you give an excuse and you have a reason - I don't care what that reason is, it's wrong. How can you justify, in that sense, that every time the Perfect Master has come, people have been believing in God? And because they have made all excuse of believing in God so much, they have failed to recognize, to see, the Master. That's wrong. Even though it is what it is, it's wrong, because that God is not up there anymore. And when that God comes down and you look up, well, obviously you're making a mistake. - Hollywood, Florida, USA 10th April 1980
In essence, what I'm trying to say is that when you get up and say "Bolie Satguru Dev Maharaj Ki Jai" mean it! Not just say it because uh 9,000 other people are saying so, so you say it too. You know. And when you sing Arti, mean it! - Rome Italy, 25th June 1980
