An Introduction in Hindi to Prem Rawat [07:40 min] This video is about the life and message of Prem Rawat, known also by the honorary title Maharaji.
Prem Rawat speaks with simplicity about our innate need for happiness. He inspires people around the world to look within themselves for a lasting source of peace and contentment. "The peace we are looking for is within," he says. "It is in the heart, waiting to be felt, and I can help you get in touch with it." Prem Rawat’s message is more than just words. He offers individuals a practical way to enjoy peace, freedom and fullfillment within themselves. This experience of peace within is independent of lifestyle, philosophy or belief.

A message of Peace [21:43 min] There are 7 billion people on the face of this earth. What do these 7 billion people want? What do they wish every day so that there is peace in their lives. This video shares perspective of people from different walks of life, and also that of Prem Rawat on various topics. For as long as human beings have been on the face of this earth, they've been searching for peace. But what does peace mean; is it just absence of war? Is it retiring to an island and never having to worry about money? What does it mean to have it?

Why peace? Whose idea is it. Is it something that we learn? Why is this world interested in peace? Regardless of all the differences, the want of every single person on the face of this earth is the same.
