2008: The Year of Propagation

This video is an overview of the 2008 activities as presented by Stephen Goldberg at the February 2009 participation event. (45 megs)

A new possibility: Maharaji in Montreal in September

Prem Rawat Maharaji has been doing events to address the needs of local communities. Montreal is on the planning table (as are Vancouver and Toronto) for events with Maharaji in North America in September and we are hopeful that it will happen. The type of event could vary from a warranty event (for those who have received the techniques of Knowledge) to an event for aspirants and those interested. Maharaji will decide what he wants to do and, of course, we are open to anything he wants.

Everyone who is actively involved with Knowledge can help Maharaji re-connect with people who may not be presently informed of recent events and developments in his work. Many of us know people who we can contact personally to inform them of an event when it is announced. Many people have moved and their coordinates may not be up to date. A team has been formed to work on this but everyone can think of whom they can contact and help individually.

Madeleine RozonOn August 23rd there was the screening of the video "Let's Get Ready" from the August 10th in Miami where Maharaji spoke about the upcoming tour in North America. There were 82 in attendance and you could feel an excitement in the air. Maharaji did mention there would be events in Canada and specified Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.

After the video, questions directed towards Maharaji were expressed and noted and sent to Prentiss Uchida to pass on to Maharaji.

The events may happen with very little notice so please stay in touch through the various websites. You will be informed of the link to event details including online registration through the Montreal Info Bulletin. So make certain that you are receiving this bulletin; you can reach the registration button to the bulletin by clicking here.

RajaJi Visits Montreal

RajaJiRajaJi did visit Montreal in July and gave a wonderful inspiring address to 95 people, the largest attendance at a local event this year.

RajaJi spoke about Maharaji's recent events in Europe and about the importance of falling in love with life and Knowledge so praticing is always a priority that is easy to have because it is so enjoyable.

See a video excerpt of his address and photos from the event.

Yoram Weiss Inspires Montreal Community

Yoram WeissYoram Weiss was the guest speaker at a special event held at the Delta Hotel in Montreal last May 25th. Sixty-five people gathered in the hall where inspiring unreleased videos were presented. Yoram told us about recent events Maharaji gave in Europe and Israel. Here is an article prepared by Sylvie Beauchemin. You may also view a short video and a gallery of photos taken during the event.

A glimpse of Yoram Weiss' visit by Sylvie Beauchemin

The special event with guest speaker Yoram Weiss updated us on Maharaji's recent activities. Following an event in Israel last fall, after an absence of more than 20 years, Maharaji returned there in April for 4 days of inspired events to address the needs of a variety of audiences. Then, after a few months of a well-deserved break, Maharaji returned to Europe to meet with people with knowledge and persons interested in Knowledge. He was welcomed in Belfast, Berlin, Bilbao and Alicante (Spain).

Montreal AudienceYoram also reminded us of the impact, in our life, of the choices we make and of the consciousness with which we live, or not, our life. Maharaji now wishes to optimize the time he spends with premies and on their efforts in propagating his message. He invites us to join him on his side of the mountain by building a bridge with the choices we make: to be conscious and free.

Propagation Initiatives

Is propagation happening?

YES, propagation is happening in St-Eustache Quebec just north of Montreal.

Propagation in Montreal is taking a new direction with introductory events moving from the downtown hotels to smaller events in local community centers. This is what is happening in St-Eustache where more than 40 people have been introduced to the message of Prem Rawat since October.

Rosemary Mirizzi shares her experience in a video interview. Click on the following link : Rosemary Mirizzi's interview.

Outreach Team: Still in the planning stage.
Goal: Present the message of Maharaji where people are. (associations, communities, schools, suburbs, etc.). A first contact with a few associations are being made.

Teamwork

Local Introductory Events
A group of people, from Ottawa and Montreal, came together on January 19 to discuss how to improve local events with the goal of supporting propagation and participation. The team decided to change the format and location of the introductory events. Over the last six months of 2007, attendance at the local introductory events in the downtown hotels has been dropping. The idea is to bring the introductory events to where the people are, as it is happening in Saint-Eustache.

Beginning in January 2008 there will not be a monthly introductory event in a hotel. Instead anyone interested is encouraged to host an event in their vicinity, at the local community or cultural center or local library, etc.

A team has prepared guidelines, support material and information that can be used to plan and host these types of events. Audio-visual support is available if required and volunteers are ready to help. At the participation event on March 9, starter kit boxes for hosting a small event in your community were introduced with the documentation related.

Teamwork in Ottawa
Ottawa Retreat

The Ottawa retreat held at the beginning of the year was a resounding success and included a Knowledge review, presentations, recent videos and a fun filled evening of great food, music and poetry. In one session, the people with Knowledge came together and worked on defining their goals for 2008 and some exciting things are now in the works. Way to go Ottawa community members!
