Ear-Whispered Wisdom
An Unforgettable Moment Back Stage at One of Prem Rawat’s Events
Just like water takes many forms, Prem Rawat delivers his life-enhancing message of personal peace in many ways: live presentations, webcasts, videos, live streams, websites, blogs, magazines, newspapers, brochures, radio and TV interviews, casual meetings, one-on-one conversations and… er…um… whispering.
Whispering? Yes, indeed. Allow me to explain.
The year was 1980-something or other and Prem was speaking at a 3-day event at the Miami Beach Convention Center. My service at this gathering was to be a lobby usher — a simple task requiring mostly common sense and knowing where the bathrooms were.
I was just exiting the ladies room after restocking the paper towels when Doug Bernard, one of the event organizers, approached me with a sly smile.
“Hey Mitch,” he blurts, “Prem asked a few of us to come up with a list of possible speakers for tomorrow night’s program and… uh… we put your name on the list.”
I can see that Doug is talking, but I’m not really sure what he’s saying.
