I want to clarify some of the comments made about the Beatles and their relationship to Maharishi (who died earlier this year). I’ll first state that I have been meditating (TM) for 30 years.

The Beatles left the ashram rather quickly it is true and the rumor for years was based on a story their business manager made up (confirmed) about Maharishi (a lifetime celibate) and some lady at the course.

George Harrison was always a follower, Ringo still meditates. Near the end of his life George went to see Maharishi with Deepak Chopra and apologized to him for all the rumors over the years. I have also met with a very famous artist who George took to meet Maharishi.

I wish the truth would be more apparent …
