"I think he has the best sense of humor. He has a way of communicating that helps me feel free." - Elise Lee

"Stories from Prem are lovely expressions of wisdom for my heart's delight." - Allen Feld

"I think it is his timing and that wonderful grin of his. The way he approaches 'I'm going to tell you a story,' there is something in the way he says that, that just makes you want to hear it." - Jane Mirano
