Utthan Seva Samiti

The failure of Millennium '73 led the Western branch to shift away from Indian influences and trappings, according to some observers.[113][135][138] Sikh scholar Kirpal Singh Khalsa wrote that the DLM "no longer projected itself as a movement that would include all of humanity in its membership."[135] The Western DLM moved away from its ascetic, "world-rejecting" origins and adopted a "world-affirming position".[113] Beginning in 1982, Guru Maharaj Ji changed the DLM into the more loosely organized Elan Vital. Michael York wrote that, as result of poor attendance and financial failure, Maharaj Ji changed the name of the movement and "distanced himself from his status as a divine guru".[139] He became known as Maharaji or Prem Rawat and was presented as an inspirational speaker and teacher.[50][113] Bal Bhagwan Ji became known as Satpal Maharaj or Satpal Rawat, and his branch is now known as Manav Utthan Seva Samiti.[140] Both branches have celebrated Hans Jayanti again since 1973.
