Ex-premie.org is a website by former followers of Prem Rawat or Maharaji. On its main page the website claims to be the most comprehensive information resource on the internet covering Prem Rawat and his work.
The website has been described in Rocky Mountain News, and The Guardian, and was referred to by professor of religion Ron Geaves in an early 21st century paper.
History
The website came into existence in 1996-1997, following a collaboration among Scott Perry, Jim Heller and David Stirling.
Content
According to the Site Policy page, the purpose of the website is to provide information about Prem Rawat, his history, and his organisations, that is not available on the official pro-Prem Rawat websites.
Coverage
The website has been described in Rocky Mountain News as an "extensive backgrounder on the guru, his successes and his foibles".
The Australian Good Weekend described the early history of the website, and quotes Jim Heller:

In a paper, originally delivered at the 2002 International Conference on Minority Religions, Social Change and Freedom of Conscience, Ron Geaves wrote:
