“Maharishi & Me: Seeking Enlightenment with the Beatles' Guru” by: Susan Shumsky Susan Shumsky is a successful author in the human potential field. But in the 1970s, in India, the Swiss Alps, and elsewhere, she served on the personal staff of the most famous guru of the 20th century―Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. image Maharishi died in 2008 at age ninety, but his influence endures through the spiritual movement he founded: TM (Transcendental Meditation). Other books have been written about him, but this spellbinding page-turner offers a rare insider's view of life with the guru, including the time the Beatles studied at his feet in Rishikesh, India, and wrote dozens of songs under his influence. Both inspirational and disturbing, Maharishi and Me illuminates Susan's two decades living in Maharishi's ashrams, where she grew from a painfully shy teenage seeker into a spiritually aware teacher and author. It features behind-the-scenes, myth-busting stories, and over 100 photos of Maharishi and his celebrity disciples (the Beatles, Deepak Chopra, Mia Farrow, Beach Boys, and many more). * Why George criticized Paul severely in India? * What Paul said about seeing God when he took the psychedelic drug DMT? * What happened when Paul and his daughter Stella returned to see Maharishi in Holland? * What Paul said when Maharishi asked him and George to run for Parliament on the "Natural Law Party" ticket? * What are the hidden meanings behind these songs that Paul wrote: “Let it Be,” “Mother Nature’s Son,” “Cosmically Conscious,” “Blackbird,” “Get Back,” “Why Don’t We Do it in the Road,” “Back in the USSR,” “Fool on the Hill,” “The Long and Winding Road?” Susan shares: “Merely by being in his presence, we disciples entered an utterly timeless place and rapturous feeling, and, at the same time, realized the utter futility and insanity of the mundane world.” Simply reply to this email to book this guest!
