Adieu Honourable Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Have you heard of a guru, tycoon, much sought after teacher, the late seer Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who died on 5th February this year.

In my opinion,he is not just one of the most poignant figures but one that has made an impact and is an influential man of the century.

His teaching has been simple : to end poverty and teach people how to discover personal fulfilment.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's first global tour began in 1958, from which time, his techniques and programs have been taught worldwide. He became famous (real fame) in the Western world in part due to interactions with The Beatles and other celebrities. Many at that times, are ready to step forward to get a dose of spiritual bliss though not all were celebrities.

According to The Economist (Feb 16th 2008) issue, all in all, some 5 million people are said to have been taught the maharishi's techniques since 1955. Disciplines paid US$2,500 for a five-day course, learning how to reach a " deeper level " of consciousness by inwardly repeating a mantra twice a day for 20 minutes.

Great Seer Maharishi is a true phenomenon.
