Prem Rawat Celebrates His Father From Whom He Inherited Everything
Guru Maharaj Ji, Hans Jayanti Festival, 12th November 1978, Sunday evening

Short musical into, featuring Ross Hannaford's guitar playing. Cheers - Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jais - Maharaji - We Love You

(Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Ji, PA feedback We love you) So premies here we are and ah I don't know what to say. Is it a festival? Is it not a festival, it's supposevly (sic) you know last night was a special night you know the program was supposed to be finished but still I know that you know because we talked about having one more day of satsang and here we are and know some of you have to leave pretty soon. I mean all these things are probably happening "What about my airplane ticket, you know what about this, what about that?" Yesterday you know the premie Bob Hendry came up to the residence because he was going to leave and he told me that he had lost his passport so what happened, he said uh "It was at this hotel, the Ramana Inn, where he was staying and he went downstairs to the lobby to make a telephone call and there he was making a telephone call a toll free call to New York and uh after he was finished with this call he picked up his wallet and forgot his passport there. His passport, his mother-in-law's passport, his wife's passport, his child's passport and his ticketa. So far as Bobby Hendry is concerned he definitely didn't do it on purpose, he doesn't do anything on purpose but here we are and you know maybe we have different things that are happening. Maybe you know different ideas "I have to get back, this is going to happen, how am I going to get back I know Joe Anctil has been constanly making this announcement "If you lost your passport, lost your ticket do this, do that." How is this going to happen for me and I know that this festival, you know, festival ended yesterday supposevly but anyway here we are having satsang and as this will just slowly you know more days you know like tomorrow there'll be still less people and less people and less people till supposevly there are only a few hundred that is supposed to be left here to take down these tents and very soon its all going to look very bare, very empty, very soon this is going to again become a pasture land.

Who Is Our Real Owner - God - Creator - Guru Maharaj Ji

Very soon you know we'll be probably whereever we came from. We call it our house, our home or this or that you know and is it in fact really our home and is this our home? What is happening you know here it makes us feel so at home but in fact this property is not our home and the home that we call our home is not our home because what is ours, what belongs to us? First of all we have to understand that we belong to somebody and who ever we belong to, this all belongs to that person too because we belong to her and I know that because of this illusion, because of this maya we don't even put a little effort in to understand to whom do we belong.

You know its not even a consideration, it doesn't even occur at the thought to whom do we belong. Who is our real owner? Who is the person that really has us? Who is the person that has sent us forth into this world to accomplish a purpose. I know we all forget that. When somebody cracks a joke, who thinks about God? You know, everybody is you know laughing, holding their tummies, ha ha ha, you know, can hardly contain and rollover from a chair "Oh that was a good one" and commenting about this and commenting about that. Who at that point remembers God? Who in that time remembers the Creator? Who at that time remembers Guru Maharaj Ji? Nobody.

And you know a lot of initiaters have gotten up and given satsang and a lot of people who were not initiaters, initiater candidates, so-called initiater candidates who have gotten, gotten up and given satsang. And I was watching this one initiater candidate got up and started giving satsang and the way she started you know she looked up at the sky and said "I can't see a single cloud. From here skies are blue and to me that means you know love of Guru Maharaj Ji. Clear blue skies." Well I turned around to the premies and I said "When it's raining does that mean Guru Maharaj Ji is crying?" You know what does that mean? And when it's thundering what does that mean? And when its just cloudy what does that mean? So many and we have so many ideas that "Blue sky oh Guru Maharaj Ji I love you." You know thunder you know "Jesus what's happening" (laughter) and yesterday there were all these firecrackers going on you know and at first it was all beautiful. These things would shoot up and have uh high the volume. And everybody was into it. Greg you know "Oh did you hear that" and "Oh wasn't that a pretty one" You know "Wasn't that great?" and here we were you know just a few feet away from where, they they were shooting the firecrackers off.

You were all watching our Jeep and Wadi were playing and Hansi were playing and everything was happening and all of a sudden in the grande finale all these rockets starting going off and they didn't go too high and there they would be and all of a sudden they'd blow up and it would be like they were coming towards us. At one point it was just like you know I'd been watching some of them and you know they would be still red hot when they would hit the ground and all of a sudden it started to become intense because this guy just went over and lit every one of them and it just started to become intense and intense and int and eventually there was this one that just almost you know looked it just looked like it was only a few feet away from us and you know automatically my hand went to the keys to start the car and get out of there. And it was just like really intense and then all of a sudden these you know bombs started going off and there was just like one after another and the whole car would you know you could feel this whole base in the car everywhere. Just loud explosion and it got really heavy. It was all beautiful, I mean nothing happened you know nothing happened and it was it was just we just watched and firecrackers went off and it was it was incredible and when we came back to the Residence the premies who were around in that area said "Man that sounded like a war was going on, a combat you know" and probably even in combat it doesn't sound that loud because if you explode so many bombs it would be that loud in one area it'd be all gone.

Premies are so Fickle and Up an Down

And just at that point you know I just started thinking "Man isn't that the way mind is, isn't isn't that the way we are in this in this world, in this life. Oh Guru Maharaj Ji today is blue skies I love you so much." You know "Oh Guru Maharaj Ji here I am I'm having a dandy ride, I love you so much." You know everything and every thing that is happening the way we think it should be. I mean I like clear blue skies. I do. Sometimes you know when the night time is cloudy or something like that I always in the morning go over to the window and just peek out, to find out whether or not its clear. To me you know its really beautiful because there is this glorious sun that warms up warms us all up and when the clouds are there it hides it, hides its its magnificent glory its light and why does it have to be always like that "Oh Guru Maharaj Ji where are you?" You know, when that time comes of trouble, when the time comes that you know something is really starting to go wrong instead of saying "Oh Guru Maharaj Ji, I love you, I really do love you. Oh Guru Maharaj Ji where are you? Come on man. Here I am in trouble, I'm stuck, pull me out that's what you said in the satsang."

Guru Maharaj Ji, there are many definitions of Guru Maharaj Ji. Guru Maharaj Ji has so many, so many, so many definitions. Like one of the definitions I gave you was you know of the laundryman and that's really true. You know Guru Maharaj Ji takes that dirt, takes that mind that settles into our, into out clothes, into our body, into our soul and cleans it up (he sucks up a big pile of snot and swallows it) you know. Guru Maharaj Ji is also you know a shopkeeper (13:01) Guru Maharaj Ji is a shopkeeper and whoever comes to his shop and whoever gives him this real money not in dollars and not this and not in that but gives him the real, real money of love, of kindness, of compassion he gives them whatever they want, the Knowledge that they're really seeking for.

Guru Maharaj Ji Really, Really Loves You

You know I mean okay I have said many times you know when some premie will yell out "Oh Guru Maharaj Ji I love you" and I say "I love you" and you know I really do mean that, I love premies. If I you know I have been to vacations, no premie, I don't like that and I am always waiting "Oh yeah man we are gonna go back and this festival is gonna happen."" I know when I was in Pacific I went to this island, it was incredible, it was the most incredible island I've ever been to, it was incredible, it really was, the sand was like powder, just like powder. You could put it all over you and you could even rub it and it wouldn't even irritate. It was just just like powder and you could put all this sand over you and you know you could do whatever it was you want and just dive into this ocean and it would just clean you off, not a speck of sand and even this ocean, this beach you know it was a tiny, tiny island and even this beach it had a natural coral reef which prevented fishes from coming in and it was crystal clear water and it prevented the big waves it was always like this natural little lake and you could just go in open your eyes underneath and maybe you would see a tiny little fish swimming it was all beach and no coral, nothing, no see urchins or this or that. It was just wonderful and even then you know to me the most important thing was "I want to go back, I want to be with the premies" you know I mean you know when I say I love premies.

I love you and I really mean I love you and when how Malibu house was on the verge of burning down I didn't say "I hate you premies. Where are you? Help me you know and I still said I love you and Guru Maharaj Ji's love is so constant, it doesn't vary, it doesn't go up and down like like an hippity hop airplane thats got his elevator broken you know just hopping here and hopping there. "Oh Guru where are you today? Why don't you help me? Jesus you know I have given my life to you haven't I? Where is your helping hand? Where is this, where is that? Where did you go? Whatever happened to you?" You know and mind comes in and just really cuts. But that love that we all want to talk about, we don't want to, we don't want to have that love because, you know, we really do deserve it. That protection and that shelter that Guru Maharaj Ji bestows upon us is because of compassion, is because of kindness, because, you know, we all need it, not because we have bought it somehow. I know people get up and you know and they'll say "my mind, my mind, my mind" and if they really know that's what their mind is then why don't they get rid of it? Why don't they put that little extra effort into cleaning up their mind because you know sometimes I'll be frank about this.

Sometimes it's easy to get up, have a microphone in front of you you know. Here you are standing up you hear your name over the PA system "So and so please come and give satsang you know and you climb up on the stage, pick up the microphone like a car in the cold weather. (Here Maharaji appears to be mimicking the sounds of trying to start a cold engine with sound effects) Yang gang yang yang bedonk (laughter) try again you know Yang Yang Yang Yang bedonk after a little while the battery runs out and kk kk kk you can hear the solenoid just go on and off on and off on and off. Then you wait for a little while you know and then it yink yink yink (laughter) "Come on somebody give me a push you know." (M. now speaks out loud the satanger's supposed thoughts) "What can I say, what can I say, what can I, a story perhaps, some ridiculous experience that's got nothing to do with what we're talking about. In here I was walking one day on the street and there was a peel of banana and I slipped on it." So premies what I'm really trying to say you know and this is go on and isn't really true premies that when everything is hunky-dory when everything is dandy "Oh Guru Maharaj Ji I really adore you, you I love you, you're beautiful, you're fine." And Guru Maharaj Ji says "Look, you love me, you don't have to tell me you love me, you love me, you love me." I love you, you don't have to, I don't have to have to tell you I love you, I love you, you know.

When a rose smells like a rose it doesn't say "Here I smell like a rose." A rose smells like a rose and whoever can smell a rose, it smells like a rose and Guru Maharaj Ji says "Look we all have problems in this life. It isn't like okay because I am Guru Maharaj Ji I don't get cut although in the shower this miracle has been happening since I've been here and every morning I go to take a shower and this shower has this very little this very little lip on it you know and you take the shampoo and you put it back again it falls or the oils it falls you know. Until yet it hasn't hit my foot it falls very close, a millimetre away, a huge bottle, clunk but it hasn't you know hit me yet. Watch it tomorrow (laughter) and a clear off all the, clear off all the bottles from there. But really I mean I get cut, I get a cold you know and maybe there'll be these different problems that will occur. There was a problem you know you heard the Malibu house was all gonna go. "Let's go, let's get out of here." You know something happens to this premie, something happens to that premie we all have got problems but if we really want to look at problems, if we really want to concern ourselves with the problems I mean I know there are people who say but you have to look at the reality. I know there are people who say "Look you have to face it." (Technical hitch, microphone fails) So maybe you know to a certain extent even what happeneed just right now you know the PA system just took off, sounded more like a premie was fiddling with it but there could have been people who go "What a untogether these guys are, what's happening, there is no PA system, PA system just went out." If we're going to narrow our scope down so much then that's not a reality. If even those problems aren't real okay you know maybe there is you maybe you say what about death, what about death? "What about my bank account? You know my bank account is going empty, I don't have any more money left Guru Maharaj Ji. I just spaced out my tickets, you know my passport has been stolen, I don't know if I'm really going to get, get it back and and you say that those problems aren't real. What's the matter with you?"

And yes they are real. They are real because you'll see a bouncing cheque very soon if you write a cheque to anybody. Yes you won't be able to go anywhere because you won't have a ticket to show to anybody. Yes they won't let you in the country because you don't have a passport. To me what I am saying is that those problems occur in this world and when the world itself is not real, then how can any problems that happen in the world be real? Reality is in you, reality is within inside of you. You know there is a premie here, I don't know if he went back or not yet (Sniffs up his nose). And in Malibu a little while ago you know I got this request that this premie was going blind and he wanted darshan and I said "Okay you know have him come" and I gave him darshan and he saw me and after that he went blind. Right there and then he could have said "Forget it. I saw Guru Maharaj Ji and my eyes didn't even get cured. I saw Guru Maharaj Ji." You know because if he would had been really looking at even Guru Maharaj Ji as a part of this world which we a lotta times try to see Guru Maharaj Ji as just a superficial thing, try to see Guru Maharaj Ji as just an unreality, try to see Guru Maharaj Ji as one of us. You know big fat tummy, 5 foot two, you know stocky, no? (applause) But my mind can even say that. You know mind maybe it says something else, doesn't have to say that. Anything you know. Why do you love Guru Maharaj Ji? What has Guru Maharaj Ji given you? Maybe mind comes and says that and still until we are going to be completely vulnerable to all those things, until we are going to be vulnerable to all those unrealities we will never even be able to perceive Guru Maharaj Ji.

The Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Land Of Guru Maharaj Ji Of Total Bliss

We'll never be able to perceive this Knowledge. We'll never be able to realize the reality and this is why Guru Maharaj Ji is saying Guru Maharaj Ji is saying "Come, I'll take you somewhere to this wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful land of Guru Maharaj Ji and in this land you will experience the total bliss. Yes, you will be still in this world, physically, but wherer the reality is that's where you really will be. You know and you say "I don't know about that, I don't know about that, I don't know if I really want to go. What if Guru Maharaj Ji is kidding? What if there isn't a land like that?" and yet how many of those of us have been to Disneyland think like that? How many? None. "Disneyland? It's fantastic, let's go there."

You know put our lives on this cuckoo machine you know. The rollercoaster. A lot of people love the rollercoaster. When we went to this one amusement park they have this incredible rollercoaster and Bolay (a premie) went on it. I wouldn't dare and this thing goes around and around 360° it will a complete loop and then it does this whole number and to me this whole world is already going up and down. We are always in this rollercoaster and Guru Maharaj Ji is saying "Come back, come back to land, be where stability is, be where the reality is!" Because we are always going up and down. Up and Down. Something will happen, we are down. "Oh God what's what's the matter, what is God?" Even a doubt, comes in. Is God there? And then something great will happen.

Raja Ji is A Gullible Fool

Ha I mean I remember this one thing. One time we got this letter. Raja ji was staying in Malibu at that time in the Residence and we got this letter and Raja ji opened it up and on the letter it said in very fine words you know just very fine printing "You could have won" and then it said "50, 50,000 or $500,000" and Raja ji just looked at the letter and he screamed "Wow" you know "$500,000 we have just won $500,000." (28:00) and I looked at it and I said "wow, man. It's incredible. You've just won $500,000." And then it came down to the fine print. You could have $500,000 and then it is like we screamed again "We could have won $500,000." Raja ji didn't yell at the top of his voice "So we could have won $500,000 but we didn't." Why not? That's what it actually said but what this is what we wanted to believe me." You know and then it was like we were "wow" you know we really wanted to scream. It was like fantastic man incredible and it was just like this whole thing a sales trick enter this and enter that and you get so much. Sometimes that's the way it is and Guru Maharaj Ji says let's walk out of this world where everything is like a rollercoaster, where everything is up and down, up and down. What. It took about a millionth of a second to get excited "Wow! Incredible!" And it took 1 millionth of a secnd to say "Oh." And this is our life. You know that I feel that all the things that are trying that are starting to happen to mankind today that is starting to happen in this world are just different kinds of manifestations of you know what man is really feeling that strong you know rejection in his heart.

They have this one rollercoaster called Montezuma's revenge. You know. And what this rollercoaster does, it starts, goes through one loop, goes through another loop, goes through another loop and then it goes right straight up, literally straight up, almost 90° and stops. Way up there, it stops and then it starts to go back and goes through first loop and the second loop and the third loop (laughter). You know and it's just like here we are and I remember the first time Bolay(a premie) came to Disneyland and you know I said "Okay you want to go to Disneyland?" and he said "Sure, you know that would be nice." So I said "Okay, Let's go." Got him in a rollercoaster, and they all were hanging on and he you know to him he didn't understand what was happening its climb you know the one in the Disney just climbs slowly and slowly, slowly and slowly and slowly and just when the tunnel you know and all of a sudden it drops down and turns at the same time and he just said "I want to get out!" You know (applause and laughter) and he did it again "I want to get out!" and he did it again and the rollercoaster did it again and he wanted out in the rollercoaster did it again and it happens to a lot of people. There they get up on this rollercoaster and its just like get me out of here I really don't want to be and when that rollercoaster climbs literally 90° way up there I don't know how many stories high and stops people just (claps hands together in prayer) "Get me out of here" (laughter) it's the only thing they want and this is the way sometimes this world is. We get in a trip, we get into this world and it just takes us for a ride after ride after ride and ride and we go "I want to go out. I want out. I don't want all this suffering now."

And yet who is there that is going to hear us? We call out all these names you know and there is that story of you know Ali Baba and the 40 thieves and his brother went in front of the the the gate. You know he got into the gate because he had heard the words, what the words were "Open sensor" you know "Open sesame" and he got in and everything that he saw dazzled him so much that he forgot the word "Open squash. Open tomato." Here he had everything that he had ever wanted in his life, all these mules full of gold. Diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, everything and it dazzled his mind so much that he just stood there "Open this. Open that. Open mustard "you know "Open tomatoes, open squash, open apple, open banana, open door." He was going through everything he could possibly think of and the door wouldn't budge and that is the way sometimes it is in our life. Here we are on the rollercoaster and Guru Maharaj Ji, you know, who this world even won't let come close to us has to stand way back and yell to us "If you want help yell out for me."

You know and at that time we get on the rollercoaster and you know Bolay(?) was fine. It was just going (makes noises) kdik kdik kdik kdid (and raises hand) who would ever get scaredd like that. It's just going ever so slow, little by little by little and as soon as you made the ??? "I want out" but in that trip we get so lost "Oh this is gonna be so nice, I'm not really gonna need my Guru Maharaj Ji. This is gonna get so wonderful, what am I gonna do with Guru Maharaj Ji?" And then when we realize "Man oh man, I really want out. Man oh man, whatever would I give just to get out of this mess?" "Oh Lamp, help me. Oh tracks? Oh this, oh that." All these things that we associate for (35:11) you know "Help me help me help me help me help me help me" and the mind says "Come on man, you know the word I told you." Helpful helpful helpful you know help me who and we are saying everything that we think is the thing that is going to save us in this world and none of those things save us. Like Shri Maharaj Ji you know who he really used to like this one song that this whole world is a two-day festival and after that it's all over, it's all finished, its all gone and you'll get, here you are you know you get into your family and you get into your house and you get into this and what is it all going to be worth? (Sucks)

There is a story about Alexander, I don't know if it's true or not. Ha Ha. I really don't because I saw this incredible documentary upon about Alexander or whatever they had located about him. I don't know how they ever came up with the idea of this is what Alexander had requested. But anyway if you could imagine if it were to be happening (sucks) that when Alexander in fact died you know his wish before he had died was that when his his procession was to go, his last procession was to go, when his body was to be carried that he wanted his hands kept out of the coffin and in one of the hands he wanted a rock and the rock it would be inscribed his desire was his wish was that "Alexander the Great, who conquered the world, came empty-handed in this world and left empty-handed from this world."

Really, what do we take from this world because what has this world got to give us? What can we take from this world? Nothing! Nothing! I mean your casket even stays there, it just deteriorates, your body, your bone you know your new kidney just stays there. Your new heart just stays there. Your bionic arm just rots away and your non-bionic arm rots away. Your bone, your body, everything just melts right back into the elements which of its made of. Just disappears, just dissipates. Fire goes to fire, earth goes to earth, you know, what's air, ether goes to ether, and just whatever this body is composed of just goes back into its elements and there is one thing that goes, that makes a meaning behind that consciousness that we have. I know that you know there was this incredible question posed in front of, I guess, every spiritual leader or whatever. You know and it was this thing that was happening about this one girl who had actually died, had a coma you know and she would have died but they kept pumping her. You know put this artificial system on her and it was just pumping her and she sort of was alive but there was no consciousness.

Glory in Gory Nights in the Morgue

That consciousness had gone, it was finished and of course man you can get you know I mean there are things that happen, freaks out people in the morgue, when they start embalming and you know they put the embalm embalming fluid fluid inside the body and the blood starts to come out which is like having to have a circulation. All of a sudden the carcass will get up, open its eyes and stare at you you know or all of a sudden it will lift one of its legs and get up one arm. People freak out and you could you know conceivably do a number on that body after that consciousness has left it (sucks). You could get those lungs to pump in and out all they are are balloons. You know and even have an incision made all the way from the neck down to you know your belly button and the doctor gets in there you know and massages the whole stuff to keep it fresh and you could have the heart pumping away and you could have this embalming fluid in red just like blood or you get pick any blood or whatever blood is available and pump it through the body. You could sew the eyelids open and keep you know from the back of the head get a get a couple of cubes and patch them into your tear canals and keep the eyes even wet. Get a you know and go from the back and come into your mouth and right on the top of the mouth put a sprayer, sprays water keeps you know keeps side wet. You already have an artificial kidney installed that. So many literally so many functions of the body so many functions of the body are still working and you could say "The body is alive. Jesus, the body is alive."

The Monkey Head Transplant Story and More Great Ideas

Man I mean look I saw this article you know in Rome and I gave this example about it and it was just like they were so blown out about it. Article to me it was like man you are crazy, period and it was just like they had this this monkey and what there was was there were two bodies of this monkey and his head had been taken away from his real body, this monkey's real body and been transplanted into another body. Incredible and the way they do it you know this whole procedure there's this guy that's invented sort of that's discovered (sucks) and the way you do it is you know you cut off the real head of the body you're going to use and take the head out of the body that you're not going to use but still you want to use the head. You cut the head off the body that you're going to use, you pull it out you know and so there is this whole gap between them and you take those cords one by one from the head that you're not gonna use and start plugging it in to the head that you are going to use. Once all that is connected, and once all that is functioning then you chop off the real head off that body and throw it away or whatever you want to do with (sucks) and then you start to connect the spine and once that's all in just screw it in, kick it in (laughter) that's all (applause). And once all that's finished you know they just sew the guy back up or sew this monkey back up, slap him real hard and say get up, something like that I don't know. Shoot him with Dramamine or this or that you know and I know that you know right now that sounded gory to people "Man, I wouldn't want that done to me."

I know there are people here who you know lost their arms in Vietnam or have their legs blown up and that's actually the history behind this doctor. You know and maybe this has happened to this guy or this is happened to this guy and so you know maybe by doing this he will still retain his face and his head and you know even with the face you can do anything that you want and you know his son could have a new body or his brother-in-law, whoever and maybe there will be a time when this will really become a famous trick. A lot of the carcasses that they have frozen they'll finally you know finally find a purpose for them. "Oh yeah do you want a new body, I've got one in stock. 5 foot three, you know, dada dada, 6 foot long, strong build. Would you like it?" "Sure, why not, you know, stump my head on it, you know." "Okay, let's go." (Laughter) )

And maybe one day it'll become a common thing. Just, that's what you do! Instead of having your hairdo changed, you know, instead of having your, you know, nails cut short or have them grow long, instead of getting a tan somewhere, get a tan all over your body, go get your body replaced! And there'll all be these signs, probably. "Doctor Frankenstein" or some doctor's name. "Yes! We change bodies, kidneys, transplant hairs, and we'll give a new facial. All discount now - $55.99." All of a sudden you're watching TV you know and they show this ad where you, they show this body and this face. And then slowly you know a fade-in happens and a new face appears and a new body appears and the guy is standing like you know like they have with the weight-losing programs: "I can't believe I was once like this. And now I just feel so energetic. You know, get a new body today!" You know it'll be like one of these things that, "Yes! This is the same person as you saw before. If you want this done now, contact, you know, Doctor Dodo right now. All the people who call within 24 hours will get a hundred-dollar discount. Well, get your 'Head Transplant Booklet' today! Learn all about it." No. Maybe to us, it's a joke. Maybe one day it'll all be a simple trip. You know, you go over to your mother and say, "Mother, do you like my new body?" I mean, it's just like people walk over and say, "Do you like my tan?" Or, "You've got a great tan!" "Oh I see! You had your body replaced, didn't ya?"

So is that the meaning and that, is that really the purpose of the the the life? Because what I am trying to say is that even after we, this mankind can do that, the purpose is not going to change. The purpose is still staying, you know so far be the same. And there is going to be a Guru Maharaj Ji, you know, that's going to be telling the people of that time, "Listen, man! Quit getting your bodies replaced like that!" You know. There will be all these modification chapters from your new scriptures. You know, altered: the current information you can stick in. You know. What would ever happen to you know Tulsidas' Ramayana, where he says "It's so incredible to have this human body." You know people will read that thing and say, "What does he mean, 'so incredible to have this human body.' Man, even if you get a scratch, you can just have it changed." And if you have a problem, you know, with uh where are they are going to find the bodies from: have test tube babies! I mean, that's what's going to start happening maybe in this world! You know, you know Have-a-Baby kit in the five-gallon bottle. And you put these few chemicals in there, put it under the incubator, speed up the process. You know, and instead of having to wait all that time, in three months, you know, here is the baby! And that's it.

And I mean you know what I am talking about, people have imagined. And I know it's gory. And I don't even want to see it. And that is why I'm yelling my throat out, you know. "Come on, man. Let's get together, now!" Because Knowledge is the only thing, Guru Maharaj Ji is the only thing that can ever prevent that. Not by force, not by riots. But by love and true understanding of who we are. Man has always had a desire to endlessly live, and I mean never die. That's always been his desire: "I may never die." And maybe, maybe, you know, it's possible that you may never die. And yet, if you don't have the purpose of life and yet if you don't have the realization of this life, if you don't have your Guru Maharaj Ji to guide you through, what is the purpose? What is the purpose of this life, the whole thing?

The Long Long Long Long Goodbye: 12 minutes and 45 seconds

Too much hilarity and screaming and shouting to completely record

So, premies, you know, what we really have to do … I know that, I don't know if there's going to be a program happening tomorrow or not. (loud screaming and shouting) I don't know. Probably the P.A. system still will have to be ripped and the whole stage will have to started to be "discopoopulated." And this would have to happen and that would have to happen and most of the premies have to leave. (loud screaming and shouting Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jais) I know that, I know that you don't want to leave, but if you don't leave, if you don't leave how are you going to ever come to a satsang program? You know you have to leave to be able to come back. (People yell, "Just one more day.") Just one more day, one more week, one more month, one more year, (Screaming) one more century. And yet, you know I don't know if, again I've said this and we go through this every day just about, that's going to make any difference. Maybe it will. Maybe it won't. You know, but anyway, that what I'm trying to say is that those premies who have to go back, should go back. And constantly remember that Holy Name. And remember the necessity of Guru Maharaj Ji in their lives. Remember how incredible and how beautiful this experience really can be if we just let go.

I know, I mean yesterday in the procession I saw premies who were just so filled with, filled with love. And because they were just maybe surrendered for a moment and that incredible experience just walked up right inside of them, you know that experience just manifested for them. And I know. I know how to get that experience. There are no two ways. There are no three ways. There are no four ways. There is only one way. And that one way is when we just let go to Guru Maharaj Ji, when we really surrender to Guru Maharaj Ji and the mind is saying, "Man, this is crazy. This is weird." You know but just why can't it just be you and Guru Maharaj Ji? Just you, whoever you are, and just Guru Maharaj Ji? Yeah. Why does it have to be this and this and this and this? That and that and that and that? Why can't it be just a simple straight street? Why can't it just be a simple path? It can be. Because Guru Maharaj Ji's Grace is there to make it simple, to make it beautiful, to make it incredible. It's just us that have to give in a little bit, to surrender to Guru Maharaj Ji just a little bit.

And so premies, for those premies who really have to go back, they should go back. And you know there are a lot of premies who have come here from different countries. Well, go back to your countries before your visa expires. Because we all have to stay in a state so we can come to any country where wherever the program is happening. We don't want to just ruin it on the basis of this or the basis of that. And I know that you know its going to be, it's just going to be beautiful. It's just getting better and better and better. And whoever said that that's the limit? It's going to get better. I know that that's what happens at every program. We go have one program - like at the Philadelphia program: "Wow, it was so incredible." Then we had Geneva program: "Wow, man, that was the most incredible." Then had Dortmund program … (The German efficiency, starting to dwindle a little bit here and a little bit there.) But anyway, it was beautiful. And it was just like what an experience of satsang, what an experience of darshan, what an experience of meditation you know and then it was like, "Man, how could anything get better than this, you know?" (cheering, screaming, Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jai)

And I know that premies are going to go back and say, "Whoa! What about this? Wasn't this an incredible experience?" "Man!" "Wow!" This and that. You know. And maybe another satsang, maybe another satsang, maybe another satsang. As we let go, better it becomes; more we enter in Guru Maharaj Ji's world, more it starts happening to us. More we start to step in Guru Maharaj Ji's world, more incredible it becomes.

From here on there was too much screaming and shouting to bother recording

So anyway, premies. Blessings to all those premies you know who have to leave. And for those premies who are going to be hanging around here, good night and I'll see you tomorrow, Not Here! Well you see I have a window in the residence and when I open it I can see premies, in the bathroom, and uh sop should I amend that a little bit? (Shouts of Yeah!) Okay. At this point nobody knows. For the premies who are going to leave tomorrow, my blessings to them. Do satsang, service and meditation so far I'll see you soon and for the premies who are going to be staying here, have fun, I'll see you tomorrow. But you wanted to amend it didn't you? I did amend it. Do I amend it once more? I'll try. For those premies who are going to leave tomorrow my blessings to them, keep doing satsang, service and meditation and I hope I'll see you very soon but the premies … I'll can't say it. So for the premies who are going to be staying here tomorrow, who knows? I just might see you. Well, who knows? Nobody knows.

Well anyway, I don't know why I even said that, it was very random. Now premies you know we're going to be (unintelligible) satsang. If this just keeps going on we'll be here by the time till the next weekend and it'll be all the whole thing again and that's no problem but can you imagine Joe Anctil's announcements and Bill Patterson's concern? And Steve Oakley's food(?) and all the initiators getting up and giving satsang for one more week? (shakes head) Nine days is enough after this sos far the initiators are concerned. They need a recharge, the body needs to be recharged. You know they will then they won't go like chuk chuk. So anyway premies, its a lot. Let's just see whatever happens. So premies who have to leave, you know, just remember, just remember one thing in your lives, that you might be sitting in a roller coaster. Guru Maharaj Ji isn't. So when you need Guru Maharaj Ji, call him you know not on the phone. You know not, "Oh …" Or yell on the P.A. system or a megaphone. Wherever it is you know always the hand tries to go to the heart. This heart can't talk. All it can go, "bonk, bonk, bonk" you know. But somewhere in here, there is that inspiration, there is that love, there is that incredibleness. From there, that's your hot line you know from that heart, from that real sincere heart. And just keep that focus straight.

There is no one here in this whole world, 360 degrees around the equator, south of equator to the South Pole, north of equator to the North Pole, who can afford in this world to lose that focus. If any one of us do, that's it you know so keep that focus, keep that love, keep that inspiration, wherever you go you know. If you are there, if you are really trying, if you are really doing satang, service, and meditation, my blessings will be with you, always. But if you lose that focus, as soon as they come, the time that it takes for those blessings to be there - which is nothing - they'll go away. That Grace will just go away. So I hope you do satsang, service and meditation.

Try. Keep that focus. And there's so much love, there's so much incredibleness just to be into. So premies, I don't know really if there's going to be a satsang program tomorrow or not. But blessings to all the premies. Thank you very much. And I love you. (loud shouting Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jais)

Now that the speech was over there were songs and these songs showed very clearly that most of Maharaji's talk about Knowledge and effort and meditation are like a magician's misdirection. In 1978 Divine Light Mission was not a meditation cult (if it ever had been). It was a complete cult of personality worshipping Guru Maharaj Ji which was also highlighted by the inane responses of the crowd to Maharaji's "playing" with them at the ends of his speeches. They should have rewritten Arti removing any mention of meditation.

One Foundation began with Arti

Arti

Meditation begins in in the form of our Master
Adoration begins at the feet of our Lord
Concentration begins in the words of our Master
Liberation begins in the Grace of our Lord

Jai Gurudev, Maharaj Ji,
Your glory fills the world
Protector of the weary and the weak
You bring the death of attachment
You bring the mind true detachment
Save us from the ocean deep
Jai Dev, Jai Satgurudev.

Creator, Preserver, Destroyer
Bow their heads and pray to
You All bow and pray to You.
Scriptures sing Your glory
Scriptures sing Your sweet story
Your virtues are ever true
Jai Dev, Jai Satgurudev.

Chanting, fasting, charity, austerity
Never bring you knowledge of the soul
Will never reveal your soul.
Without the grace of Satguru
Without the Knowledge of Satguru
Rites and rituals won't reach the goal
Jai Dev, Jai Satgurudev.

In the river of bondage to Maya
All are swept out to sea
All are sinking in the depths of the sea
Guru's boat is the Holy Name
Guru's ship is the Holy Word
In seconds He has set us free
Jai Dev, Jai Satgurudev.

Anger, desires, attachments
Rob us of eternal life
Take away our heavenly life
Satguru gives True Knowledge
Satguru is Eternal Knowledge
The sword that kills our problem life
Jai Dev, Jai Satgurudev.

Religions harp their own glories
Call me to follow their own path
Welcome me to follow their own way
The essence of all was revealed
The seed of all was revealed
I walk on the true way today
Jai Dev, Jai Satgurudev.

Nectar from Satguru's feet
Is so holy and it cleans us of our sins
So sacred in cleaning us of sins
When He speaks darkness flies away
When He speaks darkness cannot stay
Doubts removed, new life then begins
Jai Dev, Jai Satgurudev.

Mine, thine, wealth, health
Give them. to the Lotus Feet of Love
Give them to the Lotus Feet of the Lord
Give yourself to Satguru
Sacrifice your all to Satguru
Be united with the blissful truth
Jai Dev, Jai Satgurudev.

Bible, Gita, the Koran
Sing the glory of your Name
They all sing the glory of your Name
Angels sing your glory
Heavenly hosts sing your praises
They find no end to your fame
Jai Dev, Jai Satgurudev.

Desires have robbed me and left me
In the darkness of the night
Trapped me in the darkness of the night
Guru gives Holy Name and Light
Guru gives Holy Name and Sight
Cross the ocean by His love and light
Jai Dev, Jai Satgurudev.

Many past forms you have taken
Now we have come in Your control
Again You have come to save the soul
In this time of darkness
To lead your devotees from darkness
You have come as Hansa the Pure Soul
Jai Dev, Jai Satgurudev.

Come to the shelter of Guru's grace
Come with your heart and your soul
Bring Him your heart and your soul
Cross the worldly ocean
Cross it by your devotion
And attain the Supreme Goal
Jai Dev, Jai Satgurudev.

Jai Gurudev, Maharaj Ji,
Your glory fills the world
Protector of the weary and the weak
You bring the death of attachment
You bring the mind true detachment
Save us from the ocean deep
Jai Dev, Jai Satgurudev.

Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jai

Tears of Happiness

Oh yeah tears of happiness (repeat)
No more searching down those dead end streets for me
Now that I've found Your love
No more wishing on a falling star
Stay in the skies above

chorus:
No more crying now
No more lying now
And the only tears that I weep
tears of happiness oh yeah (repeat)

No more running down those dead end roads for me
Now that I've found Your love
No more wishing on the spinning wheel
Taking away my love

chorus

I ain't gonna cry no more (repeat)

Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jais

You Saved Me

Now I see
What you have planned for me
It was more then I hoped
It was more, it was more then I dreamed
I don't know, I don't know how O Lord how this feeling grows
But I wanna spend my life with you with you
Because you've saved me from a life of bad deals
You gave me more than I would ever need
You took me with your sweet harmony
I'm free I'm free from all misery

Repeat

Unknown Uptempo Song

The camera centers on the empty throne. The song is simple and Maharaj has chosen it to be played now as the buildup to his triumphant return to the stage … Dressed … In a mala. The song is very simple. The same line is repeated. It sounds South American

Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jai Whoo!
Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jai Whoo!

Repeat … Until Maharaji Enters stage left

Shouting and Screaming

Maharaji dressed as Krishna in a mala is still sitting
It will take a pretty hoarse Rich Neel and a substandard band and
2 minutes and 40 seconds of premie prayer and tears to bring Maharaji
the past and future Prem Rawat to HIS feet

Dance, Dance, Dance by Rich Neel with One Foundation

Maharaj Ji you are the Lord
You've shown us by your Word
You've taken us from darkness to Light
Your wish is our delight

But now because we love your precious Form
There's one more miracle we ask you to perform
Will you dance, dance, dance

Our hearts long to see you dance
It seems we've waited for ages
Turned countless pages
We can't wait much longer
The music's getting stronger
So please dance, dance, dance
Our hearts long to see you dance

When your feet move the mind shakes
The world in our soul wakes
We can dance on for ever
Nothing else matters
So please dance, dance, dance
Maharaj Ji gather us in your dance

How grateful we are for your Lotus Feet
It's brought us Divine Nectar so sweet
Your breath is the life of all mankind
Without you we are completely blind
Your presence sends our hearts out of control

Please Maharaj Ji our souls are your dance floor
So please dance, dance, dance
Our hearts long to see you dance

Our hearts long to see you dance
It seems we've waited for ages
Turned countless pages
We can't wait much longer
The music's getting stronger
So please dance, dance, dance
Our hearts long to see you dance

The girl singer in the band goes off her head with whoops and shouts and Bolie Shris. The Lord of the Universe danced for 2 minutes to 2 minutes and 20 secnods. The exact time cannot be known due to VCR tape degradation. Maharaji sat and occasionally encouraged the premies to keep dancing until the song ended.

(Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jais
