Chopra Reveals The Truth Behind Beatles/maharishi Split

In another story, Chopra said that in his meeting with Harrison and Maharishi he asked Maharishi why the Beatles left India, saying that Maharishi turned to Harrison and said, Tell him. George said, It's because we were taking drugs. • The actress who claimed Maharishi propositioned her was not Mia Farrow. It was an another actress from Los Angeles who had been hired to make the false claims. This is well known by now. The allegation is that a Beatle associate named Magic Alex thought he was losing his influence on the Beatles and did this to get his previous influence back. • Prudence Farrow is Mia Farrow's sister, not her daughter, as one of the commenters claims. Prudence and her husband went on to become active TM teachers. John wrote the song about her because she was meditating so much and not leaving her room. I think he was just concerned. • Even if they caused Maharishi some trouble, they brought a lot of attention to TM and inspired a lot of people to start the practice and helped make spirituality part of Western culture. As early as 1974, George Harrison wrote in a concert program that he thought that Hare Krishna founder, AC Bhaktivedanta, had the knowledge of Krishna, but that Maharishi had the technique. George, Ringo, and Paul all did benefit concerts for Maharishi's programs in later years. According to someone who was in the room with Maharishi, John called Maharishi shortly before he was killed to apologize and asked Maharishi if there was anything he could do for him. Maharishi said no, to just be happy. Ringo, more than once, said that his mantra was the most valuable thing he had ever gotten. He says something to that effect in his Postcards book.
