A new video for '88
It was a hot Californian morning as Maharaji drove up to the ILC Productions facility. In one hand he carried a stack of compact music discs, in the other a video cassette. The video was a compilation of Maharaji's 1988 tour highlights. It had been produced by American ILC staff and an Australian video editor, Malcolm Davey, for Maharaji's upcoming world tour.
He proceeded to make comprehensive changes. A new start sequence, specific inclusion of Brisbane and Melbourne aspirant meetings, new music throughout, new scenes put in, old scenes taken out and a restructuring of the entire video.
Later the same day, Maharaji arranged for the video taping of his personal in troduction to the video and a helicopter sequence.
After two frantic days of editing, the new-look video was rushed to Maharaji's residence and a few hours later, boarded the Lear 55 jet en route to its first showing in the Contact at Grenelefe, Florida.
Since then the 20 minute video has been shown at Contacts in New York, Palm Desert, Montreal and across Europe.
Australians will be able to see the new video at the Contact programmes in November, and may recognise scenes from Adelaide and Gold Coast Rejoices along with the fast-paced sequences from Europe, North America, India and Argentina.
Despite the staggering array of meetings and cities on the video, only a tiny part of Maharaji's activities in the first six months of 1988 could fit onto the 20 minute tape.
