Q. What country has the biggest population?
A. India (1.46 billion people – almost 18 percent of all the people in the world!)
And that is precisely where Prem Rawat traveled to in February and March to address enthusiastic audiences in three cities: Raipur (65,000), Mirzapur (133,000) and his birthplace, Dehradun (60,000).
There is one law that is applicable to you
because you are a human being.
That law is: unless you know yourself,
you will not have peace in your life.
– Prem Rawat, Mirzapur, India, March 2, 2025
Not only did Mr. Rawat’s three events inspire more than a quarter of a million people, he also established a Guinness World Record in Mirzapur for the largest audience to attend a multi-author book reading, previously established by J.K. Rowling and two Canadian authors 25 years ago.

Clearly, the three Guinness World Records established by Prem Rawat in the past two years have alerted millions of people around the world about the value he has to share with humanity. More than one billion people across multiple platforms that included 300 media reports got a chance to learn more about Prem Rawat and the gift of Self-Knowledge he is helping people discover within themselves.

As always, Prem Rawat covered a lot of ground in his three Indian events, elaborating with great passion on the following themes:
- The importance of internal reflection and personal growth
- Personal choice and empowerment
- The transformative power of turning inward to find peace
- The value of finding joy and clarity within
- The positive impact of the Peace Education Program

One thing is to open your eyes on the outside.
There’s another thing,
which is to open the eyes within.
