A Path to Peace

Prem Rawat Teaches Self-Knowledge:
Techniques to Experience Personal Peace

Prem Rawat teaches a simple method to help turn your senses from the outside world to an inner experience of peace, an experience unique to each person. He offers guidance and practical tools he calls the “techniques of Self-Knowledge”, or just “Knowledge.” Practicing these empowering techniques daily helps you to better understand your true self, revealing an ever-evolving experience of heartfulness and contentment.

“Gaining knowledge about the self is a process of discovery, of uncovering who we are.”

— Prem Rawat

Prem Rawat’s Peace Education and Knowledge (PEAK) course is a prerequisite to help you gain a solid foundational understanding about the value of personal peace. At the conclusion of this self-paced course, you can choose to request a workshop, called a Knowledge Session, to learn the techniques. There is no charge to participate in PEAK or the Knowledge Session.  

The daily practice of the techniques becomes an individual endeavor, easy to enjoy on your own wherever you are. Prem Rawat’s role is to provide ongoing guidance, inspiration and insights via in-person events, video content, books and podcasts. He also regularly offers Knowledge Review sessions for people who have already learned the techniques and who want a refresher.

Hundreds of thousands of people across 100 countries practice the techniques of Knowledge every day, reporting profound benefits.
