Prem Rawat Maharaji Info is a 40 plus page web site focussing on Prem Rawat - formerly know as Guru Maharaj Ji and latterly as Inspirational speaker Maharaji. Rawat has attracted criticism, notably that of being a manipulative and charismatic cult leader, and of having abandoned all moral standing in pursuit of luxury and adulation. Though he still has followers who claim he provides a unique 'gift'.

Prem Rawat's Elan Vital organization has charitable status in the UK and potentially receives over £500,000 annually in tax refunds on donations. A subsidiary of the Australian version of Elan Vital which has received over £300,000 of UK charitable funds, is involved in prolonged litigation against an investigative journalist following the leaking of financial papers. This action has been condemned by free press organisation Reporters Without Borders.

Prem Rawat Maharaji Info. addresses Media, Research and Business perspectives of the finances, leadership, beliefs and regulation of Elan Vital, its cognate organizations and the personality of Prem Rawat. Issues covered include history, religion, psychology, sociology, legality, and health. All material is provided free for fair use.
