Techniques of Knowledge
Overview
Knowledge was a term used by Shri Hans Ji Maharaj (Hans Rawat) to denote a formulation of four specific meditation
techniques that were imparted in a process of initiation. The term has continued to be used by two of Shri Hans Ji Maharaj’s sons, Satpal Maharaj
(Satyapal Rawat) and Prem Rawat
(Maharaji, Guru Maharaj Ji).
According to David Barret, these techniques have some similarities to techniques in Sant Mat
derived movements and may be derived from Surat Shabd Yoga
