People polarize the Beatles/Maharishi thing into a seeker quest, but the Beatles I found were ever fully enlightened in their music and lyrics. Even from the start they sang songs of fulfillment. They were just full. There was an outpouring of love and good humour. A few times, sadness. They weren't songs of yearning so much. > > I have never heard the exact sort of fullness again in anyone else besides them. >
Apparently, before John left the ashram he smashed a framed photo of MMY, the feelings were quite intense. They had made a substantial committment to MMY. As John then wrote 'you made a fool out of everyone'. That day, leaving Rishikesh was a major historical moment, not limited to MMY's disappointment or John Lennon's pissed-off-ness. Like I said 'The breakup of The Beatles was a great loss to the world' >From that day that Lennon had the run in with the man in the straw hut everything went pearshaped for them. Their relationships sprung apart, their business ventures floundered, their finances dived and the bickering set in. Mostly they recorded the 'White album' as though each one was a solo artist and that followed through to the end. Yes, they all continued to make good sounds but... oh fuck, you won't understand (to coin a phrase from one of your recent postings).
