2007 International Outreach Project
In 2007 the International Outreach Project will continue to provide support to countries with exciting outreach activities, but limited resources. The goal is to make many of them self-sufficient in their ability to help people hear about this message, learn the techniques, and enjoy life with Knowledge.
Rather than providing translated introductory materials and sets of The Keys, the plan now is to supply very active countries with translation equipment so they can create their own materials and sets of The Keys. In addition, selected local individuals will be sent to Key Six training sessions, and the Key Six computer and media will be made available, enabling residents of each country to conduct Knowledge Sessions in their towns and villages.
Many of these countries lack the resources to host an event with Maharaji, but he has frequently expressed his desire to visit such new places. The IOP will continue to support events with Maharaji, energizing outreach activities and giving aspirants the unique and priceless experience of seeing him in person.
Support Boosts Outreach Worldwide
In many countries and regions - from Benin and Ghana to Kenya, Mauritius, and Madagascar; from the Philippines and South Korea to the Middle East and Eastern Europe - there
are thousands of people genuinely interested in Maharaji's message.
Projects supported in 2006 and thus far in 2007
- General propagation materials in Zambia, Tanzania, Lebanon Madagascar, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Russia, and Hong Kong
- Sets of The Keys to Cote d’Ivoire, Benin, Ghana, Cameroon, Ukraine, and India
- Translating The Keys into Bulgarian, Romanian and Hungarian
- Printing The Keys brochure in Russian

Just a little help can have a big impact!
Since the IOP started providing support to Ghana, Lebanon, Mauritius, and the Philippines, the number of people preparing through The Keys is two to five times the number of people with Knowledge in these countries.
Expressions of Thanks From Around the World
From Ghana:
“Thank you for making it possible, through Ghana TV, for me to realise what I have been searching for since 1964. For me what I am feeling now, there is nobody feeling the same way on this planet earth. If there is nothing else to attain apart from this feeling on this earth, I shall ever be most thankful.”
From Côte d’Ivoire:
From a person attending an introductory event:
“I was always wondering when I would receive knowledge of myself. I was always thinking about it. Your coming here today reminds me of a story of the person who was always wondering when they would see the king. And the day when he was not expecting it, the king appeared at his home. This is how I see your appearing in our village with the message of Mr. Prem Rawat.”
From Cameroon:
From the person who established The Keys Center
"The idea of creating this Centre came when in March 2006 an elderly man wanted to register for The Keys. I asked him if he had some means to view The Keys at his disposal. "No," he replied. I could see disappointment on his face. I had the idea of this Centre. That dream came true thanks to your support. People appreciate being able to listen with complete peace of mind."
From a person watching Key Five
“Since I have discovered Maharaji’s message, I attend the Centre every day to listen and the more I listen, the more I appreciate.”
From Eastern Europe:
From a member of the team translating The Keys into Hungarian
“Thank you very much to the donors; the translated Keys will make a big difference. Hungarians live all around the globe, and to hear that somebody in Serbia chose the Hungarian version of the Key One made me very happy. Without the support, we would be still in the phase of translation. Now we can really start to introduce the message. We registered for a music festival where 500,000 young people will attend.”
From Northern Asia:
“I had been longing to have the techniques of Knowledge for 8 years. I could not go overseas like the others. Through modern technology, I am able to receive Knowledge here. I am so grateful.”
“I wish to thank Maharaji. It is he who gave me the gift of Knowledge, the seed of life. I also wish to thank many others who made this possible for me. Whenever I walk into my inner chamber with the heart of a child, with love and trust for you, I feel such gratitude, love and joy. I have been longing to receive Knowledge for many years. Now my wish has come true.”
Thank you for your generosity!
Enjoy the gift of giving
