Prem Rawat, known also by the honorary title Maharaji, addressed a capacity audience at the Broward County Convention Center. People from 22 countries came to seek his inspiration and guidance.
Speaking before Prem Rawat, Joan Apter, a New York resident, recalled meeting him in India when he was 12 years old: “I loved watching how he enjoyed explaining his message to people and seeing their response to the possibility of fulfillment. His passion, his enthusiasm, never changes.”
Mario Burbinski, a Miami resident who recently learned Prem Rawat’s techniques for finding peace within, talked about how he had searched for contentment and the enjoyment he found listening to Prem Rawat: “Listening to him, I've learned that life is more than words. And I've learned that a good teacher holds up a mirror for me to see myself.”
Prem Rawat, addressing the audience, asked, “What do you dream of? Do you dream of contentment? Do you dream of peace? Do you dream of fulfillment? Do you dream of that beautiful happiness? The most incredible dream, the most incredible wish anybody could ever wish, has come true. How beautiful is the news that you can be content. Truly, joy is possible in your life.”
Michelle Spinella, PhD. and researcher at the Florida Department of Health, commented on the event: “I’ve known Prem Rawat for many years. I continue to listen to him because he always inspires me to be the best that I can be. I enjoy his humor and his down-to-earth perspective on what could be a very complex life, but he makes it possible to live life in simple happiness.”
Hilton Seibert, 20, a student at Ramapo College, New Jersey, attended the event with his mother and sister: “He made me think about things I haven’t thought about before, the way he looks at life. There’s no filler. Every word he speaks is meaningful.”
Listening to Prem Rawat had a profound impact on Lucy Laccavole, 40, who lost her home, job, and all her belongings to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. "I felt my life was destroyed. He said not to stop dreaming, and that really meant a lot to me. I lost everything, but through it all, I have kept hope.”
Prem Rawat started traveling, presenting his message of peace 40 years ago, since July 1966. “It’s been 40 years," he said. “I am privileged to bring people such good news. I’m on my way to say it again and again, for as long as I am alive.”
