What Is The Lord of the Universe About?
The premise of The Lord of the Universe without spoilers.
This documentary follows the eccentric 16‑year‑old guru Maharaj Ji as he claims divine status and, on the eve of the millennium, promises to levitate Houston’s Astrodome. Set in the early 1970s, thousands gather to witness his spectacle, traveling from his New York mansion to limousines in Houston, while his followers chant and the camera captures the frenzy. The film earned the Alfred I. du Pont award for its incisive look at this cult phenomenon.
