The guests were welcomed by Manu Leopairote, President of the Economic Faculty Alumni Association of Thammasat, Permanent Secretary of the Thai Ministry of Industry, and Chairman of the Thailand Petroleum Authority. Mr. Leopairote is also Director for Thailand of the Asian Productivity Organization, a nonpolitical, nonprofit, intergovernmental organization contributing to the socioeconomic development of Asia and the Pacific by enhancing productivity.
Mr. Leopairote said: “Thammasat University has a long history of providing a forum for different voices with a significant message that, each in their own way, helps people live happier, more prosperous lives. In line with this long tradition, we are gathered tonight to hear from Prem Rawat. He travels the world bringing people a unique message of hope and peace, which deserves to be heard with great attention. We are pleased that he accepted our invitation.”
Prem Rawat was then introduced by Professor Dr. Surapon Nitikraipot, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Rector of Thammasat University, and President of the Alumni Association. A professor of law, he is regarded as one of Thailand’s sharpest legal minds on public issues and has helped Thammasat become a voice of public conscience. Professor Surapon has served as a member of several committees in the Prime Minister’s Office, modernizing Thai law and developing the legal infrastructure.
Professor Surapon said: “Throughout time, leading thinkers, academicians, and government leaders have attempted to develop an understanding of how to build peace. Many approaches have been explored, all attempting to create favorable conditions for peace. These solutions have drawn from economics, history, international law, comparative peace studies, conflict resolution, political science, sociology, anthropology, and more. Prem Rawat’s message of peace is rooted in the need for each person to find peace within themselves. He emphasizes that whether our search is for world peace or for personal peace, we very much need to look at the search for peace as a personal quest, rooted in an understanding of who we are. ‘When people in the world are at peace,’ he says, ‘the world will be at peace.’”

Introducing Prem Rawat, Tengku Ahmad Rithauddeen, President of the United Nations Association of Malaysia, former Malaysian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Defense and Information, and currently Chairman of the Ethics Committee of the United Malays National Organization, Malaysia’s ruling party, said: “Prem Rawat is an international speaker acknowledged for his profound message of peace, particularly inner peace and self-fulfillment. 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. All encouragement and support should be given to The Prem Rawat Foundation for its noble efforts to spread the message of Prem Rawat, as well as to bring peace and happiness to the needy. Let us support the message of Prem Rawat, empowering us to generate the hope of peace in this world of despair. The foremost concern of the international community is peace. Prem Rawat says, ‘Peace is possible.’ Let us listen to his message.”
Prior to Prem Rawat’s address, Tengku Ahmad Rithauddeen read a special message sent by the United Nations’ Secretary General Kofi A. Annan to the organizers and participants of this special event with Prem Rawat. Kofi Annan’s message ended with: “Historic, fundamental progress is possible. But it will depend on the will of governments and on the engagement of groups and citizens such as you. In that spirit, I wish you all the best for a successful event.”
This event marks the beginning of a tour of the North Pacific for Prem Rawat. Over the next weeks, he will address audiences in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Malaysia.

NEW DELHI, India, April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Between February 19 and April 11, Prem Rawat, known also as Maharaji, held 22 events in 11 locations throughout the Indian subcontinent. During this time, a total of more than 1.5M people came to seek his inspiration and guidance.
Some of the events attracted record-breaking audiences even by Indian standards: more than 375,000 people attended the event in Kanpur, an industrial center in northern India, and more than 325,000 people attended the event in Gaya, a city in the state of Bihar.
Additionally, an event with Prem Rawat in Delhi on March 27 was broadcast throughout India to more than 1,500 locations, where more than 500,000 people had gathered to hear his message of peace.
In February, Prem Rawat attended an event at the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi, where he addressed a capacity crowd of faculty, students, and guests. He later addressed a distinguished audience of civic, government, and business leaders at the invitation of Rotary International, at the National Centre for Performing Arts in Mumbai.
Linda Pascotto, President of The Prem Rawat Foundation, said, "This record-breaking tour shows that Prem Rawat's message is receiving rapidly increasing interest. The size of the audiences that his message attracts in India is limited only by his availability. He has received invitations from dozens of cities throughout the country, and this tour could have continued throughout the year. In two weeks, he will start speaking at events in the North Pacific, and later in Europe, North America, and the South Pacific.
"We are also thrilled that Prem Rawat was able to attend an event in Sri Lanka for the first time in 23 years. The hostilities that have disrupted this once peaceful island for the last twenty years have now diminished, and people interested in Prem Rawat's message of peace were able to attend the event safely. Many people in the audience had lost family members in the recent tsunami and found great comfort in hearing his words. A number of people who attended are also involved in helping to further the food aid initiative that the Foundation is currently heading on this island in collaboration with Jeevashakthi Society Ltd., a reputable local nonprofit organization, and we are grateful for their generous support."
