Maharaji
speaks to people around the world about the possibility of finding
peace within. His message is simple and profound. It is directed
at each individual, independent of and compatible with all beliefs
and walks of life, and free from social or political views or
affiliations.
Speaking at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok,
Thailand, he expressed,
" Peace needs to be in everyone's life. Of all the things
we have tried in this world, there is one thing we have never
given a chance. That one thing is peace. It is not the world
that needs peace; it is people. When people in the world are
at peace within, the world will be at peace. The peace that
we are looking for is within. It is in the heart, waiting
to be felt, and I can help you get in touch with it."
For
those who wish to make inner peace a reality in their lives,
he offers a practical way, which he calls Knowledge. "What
I offer people is not just talk," He says, " but
a way to go inside and savour the peace that is within."
Born in India, he started speaking to audiences at age three
and gave his first published address when he was only four
years old. At the age of eight, when his father and teacher
passed away, he accepted to bring his Master's message of
peace to people around the world.
At age 13, he was invited to speak in London and
Los Angeles.
Since then, he has addressed more than 12.5 million people
in over 51 countries. The dissemination of his message is
entirely supported by voluntary contributions. He supports
himself and his family through independent means.
