The article mentions that his advances were towards Mia Farrow, but do we really know for sure?

John was there and he thought it was true. Paul finally commented after all these years and said it was not. So where does that leave us? In the dark as usual.

George says it wasn't true as well. I think Lennon even admitted he heard it indirectly. Meanwhile, Robert Klein, on another LP, has a hysterical bit about the Marharishi playing Doger's Stadium.

This is something else John never bothered to elaborate on. I'm not even sure he ever said Sexy Sadie was the Maharishi. But that's always what many said, eh?
Meanwhile, I read a few years back that Marharishi owned some posh hotels in Chgo.

I worked at the Indian Trial in Winnetka, where a dozen years earlier did one James Earl Ray, but I digress...

So I understand. I wonder who is managing his multi million dollar empire now?

Indian Trial, Glenn? That has a whole new meaning said that way...

Oops, Trail. First he worked at the Trail (a restaurant), then he went down south, then came the trial.

Hey I'm a huge fan, can you possibly record some surf music played on that instrument for me?
Where did you find a white (looks like the poor thing is starving) bovine for that shot? All kidding aside that's a great photo.
