Across the world’s many wisdom traditions, there is one insight that consistently emerges: gratitude has transformative power.
For more than six decades, Prem Rawat has spoken about this truth while sharing his message of personal peace in over 100 countries. People who have learned and practiced the techniques of Self-Knowledge that he teaches – practical methods for turning attention inward – describe a simple yet profound shift: a deepening sense of gratitude for the gift of being alive.
“Gratitude is the doorway to peace,” Prem explains. “It is the foundation of joy.”

“Gratitude” – One of six songs from Prem Rawat’s newly released album, “Gifts” (3:13)
Gratitude is the music of the heart.
– Prem Rawat

“By Gratitude, Not Greed” (3:40)
To be grateful is to acknowledge
the miracle of being alive.
– Prem Rawat

“Four Simple Things” (8:55)
Gratitude is the highest form of prayer.
– Prem Rawat
