amazing. i didnt know he still lived so long.

the beatles kind of broke up with him. they said that maharishi was chasing after their groupies.
across the universe is one of my absolutely favorite songs in life!

i think "the fool on the hill" was inspired by maharishi. he was "the fool on the hill".

oh ... i found something for you on http://www.recmusicbeatles.com/public/files/faqs/said.html

here it is:

"Across the Universe"
---------------------

The line "jai guru deva om" is a mantra of John's designed to help
him concentrate while meditating, something he was into at the time.
It means roughly "Glory to the spiritual master" and has the focusing
sound "omm" at the end. (Translation varies according to particular
level of Sanskrit used for divination. :-)

love jan.
