Mahesh Prasad Varma (Srivastava) died on February 5, 2008, at approximately 7:00 p.m. less than month after he retired from public life on the 11th of January 2008. He shall be remembered for being the first eastern guru to embrace pop culture in the form of "The Beatles" & extended sitar lessons to George Harrison. His influence on western culture can not be underestimated. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, spiritual leader and businessman, is thought to have been born on January 12 1917. He died on February 5, 2008, aged about 91. He invented TM or "transcendental meditation" & founded the "natural law party" famous for its regular demonstrations of yogic flying. His organisation spanned the globe & its real estate holdings include islands in Ireland. The Beatles made him famous, "The Doors" first met at one of his gigs. NASA sent the Beatles' song "Across the Universe" into space the same day he died. We hopefully will not see his like again. ... read full story / add a comment |
