That bloke The Beatles went to see

[elgroucho]

What was the name of that mystic Indian guru guy that The Beatles went to stay with and what became of him?

[BigDogsWang]

Wasn't it the Dali Lama?

[smorodina]

He became immensely wealthy on the back of his Transcendental Meditation programme:

So I take it he's still alive then?

[Peter Pedant]

No B D W, if it had been the Dalia Lama then some good might have come of it.

Maharishi Yogi

What became of him? He grew very rich indeed and was invovled in the usual allegations. The usual allegations of the times. I am not suggesting His Transcendence plied young children with wine and stayed in the same bedroom.....

although to come to think of it, the Mahatma did something like it with the then 12 year old unmarried [later] Mrs Gandhi - not the wine the sleeping in the same bed bit.....

Ravi Shankar?

[WoWo]

I practice transcendental meditation.

[portocat]

yeah i think it was ravi shankar or however you spell it!

[elgroucho]

The guy I was meaning was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi just to clear up any confusion. Still don't know if he's dead or alive though.
