1977

In 1977 DLM was trying to avoid any publicity for Prem Rawat while he regained control of DLM and the premies after Bob Mishler's unauthorised changes of 1976.


DLM tried to avoid publicity though they were mentioned in all the thoughtful background pieces on cults published that year.

Famous premies are always worth a mention, no matter how minor league they are. I remember a DLM magazine recommending premies write in and request Mr Nouri retain his soap opera casting.
