Mentioned in this thread Frauds and Exploiters Profiting or Promoting Themselves off NoDAPL http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=4934.0
Rave' Mehta has several web sites including https://risewithstandingrock.com/home and http://www.thegreatsilence.org/
Along with running click bait sites that confuse people, divert funds, and promote he and his associates, I am concerned about this:
Mr. Mehta worked with the Department of Defense (DoD) in pioneering a system
that integrated the Internet, artificial intelligence and virtual reality into a mass-deployable training
solution for the Army that successfully used experiential based learning methods coupled with
gaming technology to bring down training time and costs while driving higher retention rates.

Especially because he refers to his project The Great Silence as "the largest social consciousness experiment in history". http://www.thegreatsilence.org/
The Great Silence is a scientific platform with a strong scientific community and University partners to help develop research and experiments to measure the impact of our meditation, single focused group intention and group flow states on our health, the environment and world events.

Rave' Mehta 's family business is the Mehta Group of Companies. http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/stories/2010/03/29/daily15.html
This is a global conglomerate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehta_Group
http://www.mehtagroup.com/global_directory.html#
Rave' Mehta is the Managing Director. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rav%C3%A9_Mehta
The Mehta Group with the government of Uganda jointly owns the Sugar Corporation of Uganda. The Sugar Corporation of Uganda's practices are not universally appreciated.
Uganda’s President Museveni is intent on a deal to clear a quarter of the Mabira Central Forest Reserve for the cultivation of sugar cane by the Sugar Corporation of Uganda, jointly owned by the State and private investor, Mehta Group. Museveni’s fiercely opposed decision comes despite the project’s negative ecological, social and economic impacts, and a lack of popular backing, even from members of his own party.
the environmental impact of cutting down a quarter of Mabira forest, an area more than 20 times the size of Central Park in Manhattan, is certain to be significant
2011 http://www.pambazuka.org/governance/sugar-vs-reason-uganda-democracy-unplugged
... the Mehta Group is powerful chain of businesses worldwide. It has cement factories and electricity power plants in India, plastics factories in Canada, banks and financial consultancy firms in the USA. By positioning itself in the industrial manufacturing sectors for cement, textiles, plastics, sugar, and agrochemical products, the Mehta Group can easily induce favourable deals in poor African countries like Uganda. Riots over the proposed giveaway of Mabira to Mehta in 2007 left three people dead and led to a boycott of Mehta produced sugar.

Fortunately:
Conservationists have hailed a decision by the Ugandan government to drop plans that would have allowed a private company to grow sugar cane for biofuel production on a protected forest reserve.

So Rave' Mehta runs risewithstandingrock.com and other sites such as thegreatsilence.org and elevatethevote.com. Glossy sites with mapping features that are unclear on origin and on where money goes. He organizes synchronized prayers and other events https://www.instagram.com/p/BNhuMU8hZY5/
Standing on the front line across the hill after our global prayer/meditation for Standing Rock, where the police have razor barb wired the water front and top of the hill and are illegally guarding the Sioux tribe's sacred burial ground far from DAPL pipeline. They were gracious enough to back off the line allowing us space to hold our prayer/meditation with 1000+ people which is why there's only a few armed men standing on the hill at the moment.

He has worked a Department of Defense contract and he refers to another project The Great Silence as "the largest social consciousness experiment in history". Is he clueless? An exploiter? A clueless exploiter? His family business plans in Uganda were an example of putting profits over people. The Uganda " ... project’s negative ecological, social and economic impacts" sure sound similar to the negative effects of DAPL here in North America.
Maybe I am drawing conclusions that are too broad. But I would not trust Rave' Mehta to give any money raised direct to Standing Rock, nor do I think he should promote himself off of the struggle.
Rave' Mehta has said that Burning Man is his tribe. (Burning Man discussion http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=2193 )

That does it. Stealing donations by lying and claiming they're for Standing Rock, pretendian pay to pray misrepresented as authentic ceremonies by Elders. Frauds.

Hello All.
We know Rave personally so will be able to shed light on some of these concerns. We called him and asked about some of these items so hopefully we can clarify.
We know Rave through his organization, The Great Silence. We've partnered with them in the past for our global synchronized meditation on Peace Day and a meditation we organized on election day at polling stations across the country. Through his relationships we were able to get a formal letter from Chairman Archambault approving the Global Prayers we organized with Standing Rock. Rave did own RiseWithStandingRock.com and let us use it to support the movement. He also inspired people he knew who knows President Obama to call him with requests to support the Water Protectors back in late November.
His family's business is not http://mehtagroup.com/index.asp in Uganda as stated above. That is a different Mehta company. His family business is based in Orlando Florida and is www.MehtaEng.com.
There is a concern above about his work with the Department of Defense. Here is what he shared with us, "My company created virtual reality training and simulation systems to help with their equipment training and maintenance...they were a client for our VR training and simulation technology amongst others like Intel, DOT, etc. We didn't do anything related to combat, more how to operate vehicles and equipment and maintain them (change parts, etc.)"
Let us know if there are any other concerns or questions we can address about Rave'.
He personally was not involved in our Standing Rock campaign in an operational capacity. He just helped however he could with his relationships.
