“Peace Is Possible: The Life and Message of Prem Rawat,” by Andrea Cagan, just released

Philadelphia, PA, January 16, 2007 — “Peace Is Possible” is published by Mighty River Press, from Dresher, Pennsylvania. J. Levin, CEO of Mighty River Press, said: “We are proud to publish this outstanding book about the life and message of Prem Rawat, an exceptional story that brings an important message of peace. In the troubled times in which we live, this is a particularly valuable book, written by Andrea Cagan, a well-known, best-selling author whose work focuses on topics that raise public awareness and social consciousness. I created Mighty River Press to publish high-quality contemporary books about self-discovery, with an emphasis on biographies of leading voices for peace and on inspiring books that help people discover their true nature. We have already received offers of international distribution from many countries and expect that this book will reach people in many languages and countries in the near future.”

“Peace Is Possible” is the first full and complete story of Prem Rawat, known also as Maharaji. It documents his extraordinary life, from growing up with a father who was a revered master, to the day he first addressed audiences at age three, to being discovered by hippies at his home by the Himalayan foothills when he was a child, to his dramatic arrival in the West at thirteen, to today. When Prem Rawat was six years old, his father and beloved teacher showed him a special gift, a practical means to discover a world of peace within him. When he was eight, his father passed away, and he accepted the responsibility of spreading the message of peace. He attended school during the week and addressed audiences in the tens of thousands on weekends. He has spent the last forty years inspiring millions of people from all walks of life and offering this same gift to people. Controversy has not eluded him: he was only eight when the Indian media wrote that he was a sixty-year-old posing as a child. Few journalists have gone beyond stereotypes and taken the time to get a real sense of what he offers. While his message is translated into more than seventy languages, it remains a little-known secret, spread mostly through word of mouth.

Andrea Cagan has written, edited, and collaborated on more than fifteen books, including biographies of Diana Ross, Grace Slick, and Joan Lunden. She has brought seven books to the best-seller lists, including three New York Times #1 best sellers and one Los Angeles Times #1 best seller.
