For Linda Pascotto, President of The Prem Rawat Foundation, “This award from Mayor Hahn begins the new year on a high note for Prem Rawat. This award is particularly appreciated because it recognizes Prem Rawat for his tireless, lifelong efforts helping people lead fulfilled lives. The recognition that Prem Rawat is receiving for his inspiration and guidance is growing rapidly.

“Last year, more than 1.4 million people came to hear him. He was invited to present his message of peace on four continents and addressed distinguished audiences including faculty, guests, and students at Harvard University, members of the Parliament in Rome, and the Universal Forum of Cultures in Barcelona, Spain. Since Prem Rawat was first invited to the West to present his message of peace in 1971, he has since then addressed millions of people on all continents.”
