Songs of Praise and Worship Inspired by Prem Rawat: I Surrender To My Satguru Dev

https://youtu.be/-0ufwxQRjk0

In this Youtube video filmed at the 1980 Holi festival Prem Rawat is shown arriving shirtless but wearing a giant floral male and wreaths to keep his man-boobs and flabby belly and shoulders discretely half-hidden. Apparently grown premie men have fainted in ecstacy at the sight of his body unclothed so they are taking no chances. Prem sprays the premies with a giant water pistol and they react as if they are blissed out but there are an unsettling number of references to doubt in this bhajanish song as there were in many of Prem Rawat's greatest hits.

For 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 known as the Lord or our Lord for short. This song is timeless and is still on high rotation in Prem Rawat's Greatest Hits. The song demonstrates the conundrum facing premies, if the Holy Name was so intoxicating why was there so much doubt and so many premies falling away?

I Surrender To My Satguru Dev

I Surrender To My Satguru Dev

Chorus:
I surrender to my Satguru Dev
I surrender to my Satguru Dev
Who has driven my doubts away
Who has driven my doubts away
I surrender to my Satguru Dev
I surrender to my Satguru Dev

He made me drink his cup of love with immortal words
He made me drink his cup of love with immortal words
Intoxication of Holy Name
Intoxication of Holy Name
Has blown my mind away
I surrender to my Satguru Dev
I surrender to my Satguru Dev

Pure light within I saw without moon and sun
Pure light within I saw without moon and sun
In his kingdom I found Love
In his kingdom I found Love
Hearing music play

Chorus
