The fact that Rawat, et al, are going after people who are in prison validates what all the cult experts say about cult leaders going after the most vulnerable in our society.

I don't know how the "peace education program" works, but my guess is that they show videos of Rawat speaking. Those prisoners willfully will walk into a room where the Rawat programs are held but it's still a bait and switch, and not much different from when I walked into a satsang room and felt good. PEP is another deception because of Rawat's long history of being a personality cult leader.

He's a toxic person. It's still a personality cult with Rawat at the top, whether or not overt worship is displayed anymore.

And the knowledge meditation is horrible for people who have mental illness issues. It's a mind-stopping meditation and that's not what anyone who sufferes from mental health problems needs in life. It can cause people to suppress the depression (or any other troubles they might have). That's bad for people. Prisoners need a way to become independent, trained in trades or professions, not how to meditate on a bleeping light, breath, music, or snot, while listening to a moron.

Roark, it's still a personality cult that's toxic. I find it hard to grok that you have a blind spot regarding the meditation and the connection to Rawat personally, that is a major piece of the Rawat religion: we were taught to believe our experience came directly from Rawat himself, as the Lord of the Universe.

He has a lot of nerve to insinuate himself into institutions like prisons. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. It's fraudulent and premies don't know because they are still stuck in their Rawat toxic belief system.

Thats why it's so wrong.
