During the 1960s, Westerners in India searching for spiritual guidance met members of his father’s Divine Light Mission and a few became initiates or premies (from the Hindi prem, meaning “love”.) British initiates invited him to visit the West, and in 1969 he sent one of his closest Indian students (known as Mahatmas) to London to teach on his behalf. In 1970, many of his new Western followers flew to India to see him, and were present at India Gate, Delhi, when, still only twelve years old, he delivered an address known as the “Peace Bomb,” which marked the start of his international work.

Prem Pāl Singh Rawat was born in Haridwar, northern India, on 10 December 1957, the fourth and youngest son of guru Hans Rām Singh Rawat and his second wife, Jagat Janani Mata Shri Rajeshwari Devi. Prem Rawat attended St. Joseph’s Academy elementary school in his hometown of Dehra Dun. At the age of three he began speaking at his father’s meetings, and at six his father taught him the “techniques of Knowledge.” His father died in 1966, and during the customary 13 days of mourning his mother and senior officials of the organization discussed the succession. Both his mother, Mata Ji, and eldest brother, Satpal Singh Rawat (known then as Bal Bhagwan Ji, and currently as Satpal Maharaj), were suggested as potential successors, but before either could be nominated, Prem Rawat addressed the crowd of mourners, reminding them that their master was immortal and was still among them. In response, his mother, brother and the senior disciples accepted Prem Rawat as their Satguru, bowed to his feet and received his blessing. Previously known to his father’s followers as Sant Ji, Prem Rawat now assumed the title “Guru Maharaj Ji” and was called “Balyogeshwar” by others (roughly “born saint” or “born lord of Yogis”) on account of his youth and spiritual precocity. From that time, Prem Rawat spent his weekends and school holidays traveling as his father had, addressing audiences on the subject of Knowledge and inner peace. Because of his youth, effective control of the DLM was shared by the whole family.

Prem Rawat’s affluent lifestyle was a source of controversy in the early 1970s. Some media reports said that Prem Rawat “lived more like a king than a Messiah”. Critics said that his lifestyle was supported by the donations of followers and that the movement appeared to exist only to support Prem Rawat’s “opulent existence”. Supporters said there is no conflict between worldly and spiritual riches, and that Rawat did not advise anyone to “abandon the material world”, but said it is our attachment to it that is wrong. Press reports listed expensive automobiles such as Rolls-Royces, Mercedes-Benz limousines and sports cars, some of them gifts. Rawat said, “I have something far more precious to give them than money and material things – I give peace”. “Maharaj Ji’s luxuries are gifts from a Western culture whose fruits are watches and Cadillacs,” a spokesman said. Some premies said that he did not want the gifts, but that people gave them out of their love for him. They saw Rawat’s lifestyle as an example of a lila, or divine play, which held a mirror to the “money-crazed and contraption-collecting society” of the West.
In 1971, Prem Rawat traveled to the West against his mother’s wishes. His first western address was given in June 1971 at the first Glastonbury Fayre. He then went to Los Angeles, New York, Washington, Canada and South Africa. His arrival in the United States was met with some ridicule, as the teen-aged Rawat was seen as immature and hence unfit to be a religious leader. He also created an extraordinary amount of interest among young adults who were willing to examine his claimed ability to give a direct experience of God. Many were attracted by the sense of joy, peace and commitment shown by Prem Rawat’s followers. One witness said that Prem Rawat “played the whole time he was there … he played with squirt guns, flashed pictures of himself for all to see, and took movies of everybody … Love flowed back and forth between him and his devotees.” Enthusiastic new members spread the message that the 13-year-old Prem Rawat could reveal God. He returned to India later that year with 300 westerners, who chartered an Air India Boeing 747 to accompany him and stayed in the mission’s ashrams.

The Divine Light Mission (Divya Sandesh Parishad; DLM) was an organization founded in 1960 by guru Hans Rawat for his following in northern India. During the 1970s, the DLM gained prominence in the West under the leadership of his fourth and youngest son, Prem Rawat. Some scholars noted the influence of the Bhagavad Gita and the Sant Mat tradition, but the western movement was widely seen as a new religious movement, a cult, a charismatic religious sect or an alternative religion. DLM officials said the movement represented a church rather than a religion.
Prem Rawat took flying lessons beginning when he was 13, and had begun training in a jet by age 15. In 1972 two Cessna airplanes were obtained for his use. Traveling almost constantly, he was reported to have residences in London, New York, Colorado, California, India, and Australia.

Six Jumbo jets were chartered by American followers who paid extra so that South Americans could fly from New York to India for free. Other countries made similar arrangements to help the less financially able. On arrival, Indian customs impounded a suitcase containing cash, jewelry and wristwatches worth between US$27,000 and $80,000 which they said had not been properly declared. Prem Rawat said, “It has nothing to do with me, it is an attempt to harm the Divine Light Mission. When someone grows, others get jealous of him, and the Divine Light Mission has just blasted like an atomic bomb all over the world.” A DLM spokesman said that the money had been pooled by 3,000 followers to cover expenses, and that the valuables were gifts. The finances of Prem Rawat and the DLM in India and overseas were investigated by the Indian government. In June 1973 the investigation was still under way, and Prem Rawat had to post a $13,300 bond in order to leave the country. Charges were never filed, and the Indian government later issued an apology.
