Maharishi didn't go anywhere, he came. The world is a different place since he left his mortal body. He is with every one of us all at once. In 1975 I sat with Maharishi to discuss some experiences. In a moment of impatience I said: “Maharishi, all I want is to know god”. He said: “I’ll do

Exactly. Many reform Jews also have no trouble eating traif, so why bother getting your hair-do out of sorts with a pesky mantra or two? I mean, let's all just get down and be happyat any cost. Be sure to mail your contributions to UJA and buy at least one State of Israel bond. Ok, I'm
