"Ron Geaves demonstrates how the convergence of Prem Rawat, formerly known as Guru
Maharaj Ji, and Glastonbury Fayre in 1971 was a key event in understanding the jigsaw
that came to be known as 'New Age' spirituality. The book charts the discovery of
Prem Rawat in India in 1969 by a small number of British and North American 'hippies',
and explores how his arrival in Britain in June 1971, as well as his speech from the
pyramid stage at the Fayre at just 13 years old, escalated his activities to make
him one of the key influencers of 1970s counterculture spirituality. Both Glastonbury
and Prem Rawat have gone on to re-emerge in significantly different identities to
the ones presented in 1971. The meeting between the two demonstrates how alternative
spiritualities were being formed in the 1960s and how some strands went on to develop
into the 'New Age' counterculture that eventually permeated mainstream cultures in
Britain and the USA."
