Why was the Divine Light Mission name changed?
The name Divine Light Mission was one of many things that came from India to the United States with Maharaji. After Maharaji spent some time in the States, he saw that these things were a hindrance to people who might otherwise be interested in his message. It was with this understanding of removing obstacles to people, that he suggested various changes. The Board of Directors of the organization also felt the need for change and the name was just one such change, many of which have been made over the years and will continue to be made, as needed.
