Songs of Praise and Worship Inspired by Prem Rawat: The Greatest Magician
In this Youtube video, filmed at the Holi festival in 1978 Prem Rawat sprays thousands of His premies with coloured water from a giant water cannon. The soundtrack is the song, The Greatest Magician, is on low rotation in Prem Rawat's Greatest Hits as it is too explicit to be played after 1984. In the crowd of thousands there is only one balding head to be seen as His premies were then in their 20s.
https://youtu.be/rTbrJRJj1qYFor the first 20 years of his career Prem Rawat (Maharaji) was known as the Lord of the Universe or its Hindi equivalent, Guru Maharaj Ji and often directly spoke of his Divinity. This song refers to satsang he gave in which he compared Himself with a stage magician who pulled a rabbit out of his hat while He created and gave life to rabbits which sort of demonstrated He was God and asked why was He never applauded. The premies applauded. Even they could understand what was expected. It is timeless but is on low rotation in Prem Rawat's Greatest Hits as it is too explicit to be played after 1984.
The Greatest Magician
What kind of wonder are You?
How did You make the sun to shine?
In the middle of the darkest night
You showed me such a beautiful light
Melting all the ice around this heart of mine
There was a time when I had no place to go
You picked me up and brought me into Your show
You got the power to open my soul
To the eyes of a child You look so beautiful
chorus:
So won't you make me a part of your magic
You can move me every which way
You take a pebble turn it into a pearl
Cause You're the greatest magician
You're out of this world
I get so lost in illusion
You stand so high above it all
I only want to hold onto feast my eyes on You
Cause everything You do to me is a miracle
And every heart that You touch turns to gold
Whisper Your magic Word and a life unfolds
I need You to pull me like a rabbit out of a hat
Cause I don't know where I'm at
Dreaming of this and that
chorus
You paint a rainbow in the hearts of those You love
From You all mercy flows and if that isn't enough
You created Love
guitar solo
And You're here on a mission of mercy
Can't believe You came here just for me
Every trick in the book just to make me see
And I love You and everything You do
What can I say?
Can't take me eyes off you
How can I praise You?
What kind of wonder, what kind of wonder are You?
