Beatles Guru Marishi Mahesh Yogi Dies at 91
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, guru to the Beatles and introduced the West to transcendental meditation, died Tuesday at his home in the Dutch town of Vlodrop, Netherlands. He was 91 years old.
“He died peacefully at about 7 p.m.,” said Bob Roth, a spokesman for the Transcendental Meditation movement that Maharishi founded. He said his death appeared to be due to “natural causes, his age.”
Once dismissed as hippie mysticism, the Hindu practice of mind control known as transcendental meditation gradually gained medical respectability.
He began teaching TM in 1955 and brought the technique to the United States in 1959. But the movement really took off after the Beatles attended one of his lectures in 1967.
