Remembering Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the reason why The Beatles flew down to India in 1968

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was an Indian guru who developed the Transcendental Meditation technique and then introduced The Beatles to it — they attended a seminar on Transcendental Meditation conducted by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in north-west Wales, upon George Harrisson's and his wife's insistence.  In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he achieved fame as the guru to the Beatles. He passed away on February 5, 2008
