Product Overview
Deeply humble holy man, guru to the rich and famous, captor of the hearts and spirits of millions of people...the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi leapt to prominence in the early 1970s when his unique teaching of Transcendental Meditation (TM) and his close and much reported involvement with the Beatles and the Beach Boys caused a popular revolution in the West. Yet most of us know only what we have read in the popular press about this gentle yet profoundly influential revolutionary. Now Paul Mason takes us behind the scenes, drawing on scarce and previously unpublished material. He brings us insights into the eventful life and character of this extraordinary holy man, from his humble origins in India to the globe-trotting travels that made him the talk of continents. We glimpse the power of the spirituality that lies at the heart of his teaching, the riving force behind his will to create the worldwide movement of TM.
