The
Residence in Malibu

Desk Maharaji-the professional name now used by Prem Pal Singh Rawat, formerly known as Guru Maharaj Ji-can continue descending from the skies to his landing pad 12 times a year, the annual limit imposed for five years in April, 1983. Six landings were originally allowed in 1980 because Maharaji agreed to install a 45,000-gallon emergency water storage and pumping system that would be available to county Fire Department helicopters. But planning commissioners rejected, by a 3-1 vote Wednesday, Maharaji's request to increase the limit to 36. The majority said it was constrained by a commission policy adopted in September, 1984, that forbids additional copter flights except for those that provide a public benefit. "First, you wanted six; then you went to 12; now you come back and want 36," said commission Vice Chairman Sadie Clark to Maharaji's attorney, Linda Gross. "I can absolutely see no reason why this is necessary. We cannot favor one applicant over another, and there's not any justification for this." Maharaji's need for more flights "has to do with a change in circumstances," Gross said. Until the spring of 1984, the one-time guru was seldom at his mansion, called Anacapa View Estates, off Trancas Canyon 600 feet above Pacific Coast Highway. He and his family visited there a few times a year but they also spent time in Miami and abroad. Then Maharaji dropped his ties with the Divine Light organization and settled full time at the Malibu estate, Gross said. He continues to lecture around the world on self-awareness, however, and needs the helicopter mostly for travel between Los Angeles International Airport and his home, the attorney said. Gross said the firefighting equipment at the helipad should qualify as a public benefit. She said that Maharaji also intends to place utility lines underground near his estate, to minimize the danger to copters flying over Trancas Canyon. But when questioned by Commissioner Delta Murphy, Gross said that Maharaji would continue to allow county access to the emergency equipment even if the limit remained at 12 flights. Then Murphy asked about burying the utility lines. "If it's really a safety factor, wouldn't he want to do it now? Is it predicated on additional flights?" Gross said it was not. Only Commissioner Norma Bard supported the increase, saying few helipads provided the added fire protection that Maharaji's does. "I do not regard this as precedent-setting," she said. "I don't think we will ever find a similar situation." A representative of the county Fire Department, Capt. Jerry Peskett, said Maharaji's helipad is "acceptable, but not necessary" for battling blazes in the brush-covered Malibu hills. That led Commission Chairman Stanley Gould to say, "I can see nothing to gain by granting the additional flights." Gross said she did not
know if Maharaji would appeal the decision to the county
Board of Supervisors. |

This is in addition to close to $1million spent earlier this year to provide additional facilities and basic infrastructure to cater for a 4,000-delegate international convention for the Australian educational and self awareness organization, Elan Vital. Jan McGregor, director of Ivory's Rock Conference Centre, says the planned expenditure will provide for construction of 200 deluxe cabins in bushland beside the newly opened 400-seat conference hall. "These, along with the necessary dining facilities, will allow us to target the executive retreat market in much larger numbers than is normal for this type of facility," says McGregor, who with partner, Terry McKinnell, owns the company which operates the centre for American investment company, Myrine. "This will allow us to develop a unique four-star centre just a 45-minute drive from Brisbane's CBD. We will be able to target a local niche market, but also make a bid to attract large conferences of Asian executives who want to sample an Australian bush experience in a luxury setting." She says while the additional accommodation will allow Ivory's Rock to target larger conferences, it will continue to focus on "bread and butter" one-day conferences because of its proximity to both Brisbane and Ipswich. In addition, the centre will market its new 4,000-seat amphitheatre for special one-off outdoor events. The amphitheatre, along with sealing of roads and provision of town water for Ivory's Rock, accounted for much of the $1million spent earlier this year. "We needed to provide it to accommodate Elan Vital's 4,000 delegate convention," McGregor says. "We had 1,200 accommodated on site with the rest coming in on a daily basis." McGregor says that Elan Vital has a 15-year contract with the centre to stage its conventions on a biennial basis. "In essence they sub-let the grounds from us to ensure that their conventions always take precedence," McGregor says. "It means that every two years we retreat from the market-place for several months to put their convention in place. "However, having this long-term contract and the assured income it provides has allowed us to develop our facilities much more quickly. "Some of these, such as the amphitheatre, would not have been given the same level of priority if you were aiming at a general market without having to concentrate on that one special event." McGregor says Ivory's Rock is also able to target the budget market, providing luxury tent accommodation for delegates. "With our current infrastructure, we can cater for up to 1,000 people with the on-site infrastructure we now have in place," she says. "Even easier to handle are smaller groups, around 500, which is still a large number as far as most live-in convention facilities are concerned." As well as targeting existing markets, McGregor says the centre is also examining developing its own product in joint venture with other providers. "One we are looking at is the provision of a conference aimed at executive health and well-being, involving people from the health industry," she says. McGregor also says that the size of the property means several events can be run at the one time. "We
can have a 1,000-strong convention with everyone living in,
and at the same time run a one-day conference, and keep the
two events completely separate," she
says."

Given
the secrecy surrounding Maharaji's
jet's
operation, one can wonder how we've found that information.
Here is the answer. The first vital information was the
jet's ID number that we've received from an anonymous
poster on the Forum. Then we used that number to perform a
general search on the Internet, where we discovered that
some jets'
fan spotted
that very G4 at Tokyo-Narita on 30/3/98 (where Maharaji
actually was for a program). And then we made a search on an
aviation
database,
where we found the final details (The G4 is owned by Prime
Resources, L.L.C.). And finally a simple search in corporate
records showed who is actually owning the aircraft (well
known 'Persons Around Maharaji'). Estimated value: $25
million. |

The
'Residence' in Queensland,
Australia Media consultant John Arlidge, spokesman for the guru's Elan Vital organisation, said the Mahariji had remained "on-site" at the Ivory's Rock convention centre during the four-day conference - and did not fly in and out by helicopter daily as he had in previous years. ... John Macgregor, who claims to have been a confidant of Mr Rawat for more than 20 years, last weekend alleged the Mahariji had a secret tax haven in the Channel Islands (Jersey, UK), owned luxury homes from Brisbane's Fig Tree Pocket to South Africa, and flew money out of Australia into Swiss bank accounts. Elan Vital, in a written statement, rejected allegations made by both men claiming they were nothing more than "disgruntled former employees". The statement also rejected claims the Mahariji was in any way involved in criminal activity or benefited from a secret tax haven in the Channel Islands or owned luxury homes in Brisbane. Convention organiser Cath Carroll this week said any inquiries about the centre should be referred to the site's owners Myrine Investments. However, company and property searches conducted by The Courier-Mail reveal Myrine Investments, a Channel Island company, owns not only the 529ha Ivory Rocks convention site, a neighbouring 176ha cattle breeding property and 2.2ha homesite, but also a prized multi-million $1.7ha river-front home site at 236 Jesmond Rd, Fig Tree Pocket. Elan Vital, in a written statement released yesterday, conceded the Fig Tree Pocket property was originally purchased in 1986 by devotees of the Mahariji for his personal use. "The Fig Tree (sic) property was originally acquired by a person unconnected with Myrine as a place for Mr Rawat to stay on visits to Australia," the statement says. "It was subsequently transferred to Myrine to be held for Mr Rawat's use when he visits. ..." By
