Prem Rawat - Maharaji - Water & Food Award- Westminster, London Water & Food Award- Westminster, London [31:21 min] On June 18, 2014, Prem Rawat was the keynote speaker at Central Hall, Westminster, London, for an event sponsored by the Water and Food Foundation (WAF). WAF promotes global best practices in water and food security initiatives.

Describing a broad vision, Prem Rawat told the audience, "All our efforts, whether they are sustainability, to feed the hungry, to bring clean water-in our own little way, we want to create a little heaven right here on earth. And who will ever blame us for thinking so wildly? Because it is a wild vision to want to create a little heaven for us and our fellow beings; and to leave a legacy of that heaven for the generations yet to come, so they keep on living the dream of creating the little heaven in their time, for their time ahead."

Prem finished by applauding everyone present for their efforts and was, in turn, given a standing ovation by the audience.

According to one attendee, John Carpenter, a long-time supporter of TPRF's Food for People program, "The warm feeling of unanimity created by the keynote address was best expressed by a member of the Zimbabwe team who won the 2014 WAF award. He told me, with great humility, that for him the real prize was to have been able to share the day with like-minded people and that he felt he was accepting the WAF award on behalf of everyone."

Prem Rawat - Maharaji - Searching for the innate Searching for the innate [05:55 min] Prem Rawat was invited to speak at the Theatre Verdi of Padova, Italy, under the patronage of the President of the Italian Republic, the Ministry of Justice, the Veneto Region and the Province of Padova.

Thank you for that warm welcome. Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. It's an honor to be here in Padova. Peace is something you feel it in your life, or you don't feel it in your life. If you get it, enjoy it. Else find how to get to that peace. And that's the only area where there is something to say. How can you get to it? The first step is to understand peace. Is it an idea?
Prem Rawat - Maharaji - Bahas nahi Samvaad: Anjan TV Bahas nahi Samvaad: Anjan TV [23:46 min] Prem Rawat Interview with Anjan TV. Sawal Jawab is a show where one can find the answers of the questions related to life, peace and self development through the message of Prem Rawat.
What is really really simple? We live our lives and there are many complexities. Good bad right wrong, we have many judgements. Sometimes it seems we have gone forward, sometimes it seems we have gone backward. And if we see through this window, then it doesn't seem like something can be simple. But if we take away all that is unnecessary, and then Look at this life, look at this existence. The breath comes- no judgement, no prerequisites, no forms to fill out, no queues to stand it, no waiting game, No .net or .com to log onto. It just comes.

The life of being alive dances and plays out everyday in the most serene and simplest of ways possible. You are. Every morning that comes- You exist. Not through the avenues of this world, but just you. A lot of people sitting there are thinking, it's not like that. We have got lot of problems in this world, and we have to find a solution to this.

I will give an analogy. There is this person who is born and raised in a big castle. But one thing this person has never done is to look at themselves. There is no mirror, so they have never seen themselves. All other entertainments are available. Somehow this person dreams to be beautiful. And the fact of the matter is, this person is exquisitely beautiful. And everyday this person laments, "Oh, I wish I could be beautiful". If only they could see how beautiful they are. This is my passion. I go around the world, I don't have written speeches. If you would ask me backstage on what I'm going to talk about, I'll have no idea. You have thousands of drawers that are filled with things that promise to bring beauty to us. I want to tell you, you don't need all of those. You just need a mirror to see how beautiful you already are.
Prem Rawat - Maharaji - PTC News: Khaas Mulaqat PTC News: Khaas Mulaqat [48:26 min] A news interview with Punjabi interviewer over the popular PTC news channel.
It's a pleasure to be here. To about something so simple, yet so profound. I will talk about what I always talk about. What I try to do, is to remind people of something they already know. It is amazing, how in our lives. We take all that is good, and we save it for the last. Who even came up for this idea! Maybe it started from the concept of dessert. That is understandable. But life is not like that. Life is a beautiful journey that takes place every single day. It is dancing and calling you.
Prem Rawat - Maharaji - Interview with Fernando Mauro Trezza Interview with Fernando Mauro Trezza [26:08 min] In Brazil, the TV show Words of Peace has been airing for over ten years.

Fernando Mauro Trezza: “For many people today, peace seems to be a boring subject. Can this perspective be changed?”

We've relationships in our lives, with our wife, children, with relatives. And there is something very important to understand about relationship- You cannot just keep on taking and taking and taking, and not giving. Otherwise that relationship will collapse. Because the relationship is really about taking, and giving.

This life has to be lead consciously.
What does it mean to open your eyes?
Delight, embrace this life!
Prem Rawat - Maharaji - Humanity Humanity [05:58 min] Renowned peace teacher and speaker Prem Rawat joined us from our Sea Point studio in Cape Town where he spoke about humanity's natural state of peace. He was in South Africa speaking at two events, one in the mother city and the other in Johannesburg. Against all odds, we're doing an event in Las Vegas. Yesterday I was this book which most people have read. It is the most read book. I'm not talking about the Bible. And it is read across the most continents. It is the first book that you actually finished reading. You know what that book is? It is the book of alphabets! And it is one book you won't find in people's library. We've all read this book, but we forget about it. What does this book signify? It was indoctrination on how it should be on step into this world. There are people who say "The whole world is bad". Other say otherwise. To me, it is like a kitchen knife. It has the capacity to feed you, and also to hurt you.
Prem Rawat - Maharaji - The Mirror The Mirror [04:18 min] ONCE THERE WAS a remote little village. The people in this village were very simple. One day, a tourist arrived. The next morning, he took out his mirror and put it up on a wall so he could shave. He cleaned up and shaved, but he forgot to take the mirror off the wall before he traveled on.

An elderly villager with gray hair, bright eyes, and a beautiful shining face saw the mirror on the wall and looked into it. He had never seen a reflection of himself, so when he saw the face in the mirror, he was mesmerized, and he said to himself, "Today, I have seen the face of God." He left - completely happy: "I have seen God."

Then a young girl came along. When she saw herself in the mirror, she was taken aback. "I have seen the most beautiful woman on the face of this earth. When I grow up, this is what I want to look like!"

And then came along a man who had lost his father not too long before. He looked in the mirror and said, "Oh, my God! I have seen my father again."

Now, the three people who had seen themselves in the mirror started to get very upset. The older man wanted the mirror, because this is where he had seen the face of his god. The young girl wanted the mirror, because this is what she wanted to look like. And the third man wanted the mirror, because in it he had seen his father again.

They started arguing, and before long, fights were breaking out all over the village. Everybody was unhappy, because whoever went to the room and looked in the mirror on the wall- whatever they saw, they liked, and they all wanted the mirror for themselves.

Finally, a wise man happened to come by. When he saw what was going on in the village, he asked, "Why are you all fighting?"

Different people answered: "I want this thing because this is my god," or "This is who I want to be," or "This is my father," or "This is my this; this is my that."

So he asked for the magical thing to be taken down from the wall and brought to him. He looked at it and said, "Don't you know what this is? This is a mirror."

He called the old man, and he said, "You did not see the face of God. You saw yourself."


He called the young girl, and he said, "You did not see the most beautiful woman. You saw yourself."

He called the third man, and he said, "You did not see your father; you saw yourself. You look like your father, and that's why you thought you saw him, but it was you."

One by one, he called everyone and said, "What you see in this mirror, what you like in this mirror, is not the mirror. It's you!"

Now, how does this story relate to peace? You see, peace begins with each one of us. We have forgotten our own self, our own need. We like to talk about food, and we have become very good at it, but does that mean that we don't need to eat anymore? No. You can talk about food all day long. No problem. But sooner or later you've got to eat. This is my little bit of wisdom for you. Hunger does not look at anything else; it looks at being satisfied. And the hunger for peace comes from within you. It is not an intellectual idea.

Peace is the desire of the heart. Your heart. And it is as simple as the coming and going of the breath. Breath. This is how the movie of life begins. And how does the movie end?

Just recently, somebody's father passed away, and this person said to me, "We were all waiting till he had taken his last breath." Once again - breath. I know we're fascinated by the in-between part. This is what we live for, this is why we exist. That's all fine. I'm not criticizing that. But you should never, ever forget the importance of where your life began. And where it will end.
