You Alone Exist is a prayer poem describing the unlimited attributes of God. Dictated by Meher Baba during 1959-1962 to his close disciple Bhau Kalchuri, the prayer-poem expressively describes the all-pervading nature of God through many attributes, from simple to sublime.[1]

Text

The full text of the poem was written by Bhau Kalchuri under direction of Avatar Meher Baba.[2][3][4][5]

Music Video

A 2005 collage film was directed and produced by Peter Nordeen with music composed and sung by Jim Meyer.[6][7][8] The stock footage is compiled and edited together from Meher Baba Newsreel Footage (1932), Three Incredible Weeks (1954), Meherabad (1955), Meher Baba's USA Tour (1956/1958), Pune-Meherabad (1960), East-West Gathering (1962) by Robert Fredericks in tandem to the rhythm of the musical prayer.[9]
