What charitable works are Elan Vital doing these days? Along with those worthy people shaking their tins outside supermarkets for Guide-dogs For the Blind, Cancer Research and the British Heart Foundation, how do Elan Vital rate amongst these worthy causes?

Have a look at Elan Vital's record in the UK Charity Commission and then decide for yourself.

Would you be happy if some rock stars held a benefit rock concert in aid of earthquake victims and after the concert, they decided it was better to give the money to Elan Vital rather than the earthquake charities, because the money would be put to better use by Elan Vital?

Would you feel happy with that? Would you gladly give your excess small change to such a worthy cause as Elan Vital because you sincerely care about helping humanity? Do you see the suffering in the world and feel a warm glow because you know there is an all round charity, namely Elan Vital, which is going to help all these people who are suffering?

I'm sorry, because I am being presumptuous. Perhaps you are suffering. Perhaps you need help yourself and amongst the trials and tribulations that life hands out and the endless forest of difficulties and hardships which beset you, there is a beacon of hope for you in the charity called Elan Vital.

Perhaps you feel a little less insecure, knowing that such a warm-hearted group of people such as Elan Vital, will help you in your hour of need and no matter how difficult things get, you will always have that reassuring shoulder of Elan Vital charity to cry on.

It's good to know that the money you give to such a worthy cause as Elan Vital will go to help somebody who may be worse off than yourself or somebody who is in dire need. And if that person is you and if your need is great, how wonderful to know that help is always at hand.

The old DLM officially ended in 1995 and that was a different guru, not Maharaji who isn't a guru but an educational teacher.

See the Divine Light Mission Charity Commission record and you can clearly see that it was Santa Claus or some guru Maharah who we were devoted to.

Mind you, Santa's father was Shri Hans so perhaps it was another brother who we followed. Not much chance of definitely connecting the old DLM record with the Elan Vital one. They both have a Brighton phone number though and Shri Hans was Prem Pal Singh Rawat's Father.
