<<<While he was there, he asked that particular Shankaracharya (who had just initiated him into meditation) if that Maharishi who was with the Beatles was legitimate. That particular Shankaracharya laughed and said, "He was my first choice for my sucessor, but they wouldn't allow it due to the caste laws." >>>
I think this post along with others (like the one about the palm leaf reader who said that Maharishi is who he says he is), and the one where Paul McCartney in 2001 spoke of how nice it was being with Maharishi in India in the 60's, saying that Maharishi was the real thing, and that a lot of teachers or gurus of that time were going around in Rolls Royces, with actresses, but that Maharishi had done none of that. http://www.tm-ireland.org/news.htm And George Harrison in 1977 says: ""All Maharishi ever gave me was good advice and he gave me the technique of meditation which is really wonderful."..... "Well you know, John went through a negative thing moreso than I did with the Maharishi. I can see now much clearer what happened, and there was just alot of ignorance that went down. Maharishi was fantastic and I admire him, like Prabhupada, for being able, in spite of all the ridicule, to just keep going. http://beatlesnumber9.com/ghcraw.html These statements, put together really point to the truth of the situation, rather than all this silly gossip and fundamentalist anti- TM fetish that goes on on this board.
