Born in India, Prem Rawat, widely known by the honorary title Maharaji, began speaking about peace at a very young age. As a child, he astounded and delighted audiences with his wisdom and ability to shed light on some of life's deepest mysteries. At the age of thirteen, Prem Rawat’s message of peace had reached beyond his native India, and he was invited for the first time to travel to the West to address audiences in London and Los Angeles. This was the beginning of over four decades of nearly non-stop travel throughout the world. In 2001, Prem Rawat started The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF), which addresses the fundamental human needs of food, water, and peace so that people everywhere can live their lives with dignity, peace, and prosperity.
