Re: Re: [FairfieldLife] Dear Prudence – an i nterview with Prudence Farrow
who said it was weirder? I made no judgements of gradations of strangeness of Marshy worship to non- marshy worship. Simply that Jerry being a nice guy does not prevent him from wearing a pair of rose colored glasses, each lens of which has a permanently etched image of Marshy as saint.

I have an apron that my dear Granny Long gave me. It's not because I worship her. It's because we loved each other. As for Jerry Jarvis, I think he is the epitome of devotion, something I aspire to.

Prudence Farrow achieved international fame through the Beatles song ‘Dear Prudence’, where they sing of her dedicated focus on meditation during her teacher training course in Rishikesh with Maharishi, which John Lennon and George Harrison also participated in. Here is a recent interview with Prudence where she talks of her time then and since. Interview: Priya: Which brings me to the subject of song, “Dear Prudence” which was written for you by John Lennon. It’s such a beautiful, expansive song… Prudence: It actually captured the feeling of that course (that we took with Mahesh Yogi). Priya: That’s interesting. Great songs seem to capture things in layers – distilling so many things in any given moment… Do you want to elaborate on what you mean when you say it captured the course? Prudence: It captured that period that we were there. Especially the feeling of India… and of that meditation course… none of the other songs that they ever wrote have that…to me… And when I hear it I just feel that time in India, that course. And that course was very powerful for me. It was a monumental experience. At that time Maharishi did not realize, this is what he said, is that he did not realize that we, the young people from the West, carried so much stress. And I was kind of a prototype of many that were to follow. I was just leading the way of many, many others that would come after me. You know, after that course, he didn’t have people meditate solidly. But on that course, he had people do it just as long as you could do it, and you’d just be meditating all the time. But meditation is also a practice of purification and while its packing in and integrating that silence of your experience. So for me, it was horrendous and amazing at the same time. It was a huge game-changer… To go into the solitary guidance of such a great man. I totally trusted him beyond anybody I’d ever met. So I could safely give myself over to the process of just complete silence and deep, deep, deep meditation. So it was extraordinary of course. Priya: I believe that in your own words you’ve called your dedication to meditation “fanatical”…that you were in your room non-stop meditating while others took time off, the Beatles rehearsed.

Re: Re: [FairfieldLife] Dear Prudence – an i nterview with Prudence Farrow
I agree, Susan, Jerry Jarvis is an amazing person, with all the qualities you mention, plus a sense of humor, an example of the best in the TMO. Years ago he met with MIU staff and someone was telling him about all the unstressing they were doing. And he said with a gentle laugh, be glad you're unstressing and not instressing.
