DLM/EV History: 1973 |
The Millennium Festival |
|||
After Maharaji and his western devotees returned from India in late 1972, plans began for an all-out propagation effort in the USA. The Houston Astrodome was selected as the venue for a large program to which the public was invited to hear him announce his plans to bring peace to the world. |

Although admission to the program was free to the general
public, costs of the preparations for November 1973
Millennium festival required that premies go to extreme
lengths in raising funds to pay for the event. Premies were
encouraged to sell all their possessions, turn the proceeds
over to DLM, and to ask relatives and friends for money. |
