Songs of Praise and Worship Inspired by Prem Rawat: Oh Maharaji
Prem Rawat, in his spiritual teacher persona, is known as Maharaji and in his public Ambassador or Peace persona he uses his actual name. No matter which name he is stillloved by his premies and is often referred to and known as the Perfect Master or the Master for short. This song is timeless and is still on high rotation in Prem Rawat's Greatest Hits. The hidden light refers to the Divine Light that Prem Rawat reveals and you see through your third eye.
The lyric "I'm so hung on you Maharaji" is actually a pun for those in on the secret. Sohung (or "Soham") was the mantra that Divine Light Mission originally taught in the early 1970's as part of the 'Word' or "Holy Name" technique of meditation. It is also Hansa (or "Hamsa") the Swan with the syllables reversed and is part of standard Yoga meditation.
Oh Maharaji
I think of you all day through
I dream of you all night too
Oh Maharaji, Oh Maharaji
Oh Maharaji, Oh Maharaji
I see your blessed face
And all my troubles are erased
You are my very soul
My world lights up, I want you to know
I love you Maharaji, Oh Maharaji
I really love you Maharaji, Oh Maharaji,
I feel your love so sweet
Life without you is incomplete
And just to know your name
My heart rejoices, I know no pain
I need you Maharaji, Oh Maharaji,
I really need you Maharaji, Oh Maharaji
Won't you take us home
I want to go home with you
Take us home with you
I want to go home with you
Don't let me roam
Oh without you Maharaji
I'd be so alone, yeah without you Maharaji
I want to follow you everywhere you go now
I gotta tell the world about you
I'm gonna tell them that you're true
I'm so hung on you Maharaji
Take me take me, take me home with you
