I don't think 'The Maharishi Song' was ever seriously intended for

contents of the John & Yoko's 'song' fairly accurately.




"to see the master


walking on the petals who lived in a million dollar stecketo house

overlookin' the Himalayas."



Is this an accurate description of MMY's house in Rishikesh?



Another description:

The ashram turned out to be more like a hotel than the spartan guru's camp the Beatles expected. The sleeping quarters were in a complex of picturesque some bungalows with four or five bedrooms in each. The Beatles' rooms had four-poster beds and solid English furniture. Each was equipped with a modern bath and toilet, and there was even an electric fire for cold nights. Meals were eaten communally at long, hand-carved tables under a vine-covered trellis next to the Ganges. Food was served to them by a large staff of servants and prepared in a completely modern kitchen by a trained chef. The Maharishi's house, a short distance away from the rest of the compound, was a long, low, modern building with its own kitchen and staff. There was even a woman to give the girls a daily message. The most eyebrow-raising of all the luxury accoutrements was the landing pad for the helicopter used to ferry the Maharishi in and out of the compound on his appointed rounds throughout India. This was the man whom George had excused to Peter Brown as "not a modern man."
