As such, she made an early encounter with the Guru Maharish Mahesh Yogi, who's first American appearance was in her neighborhood. She promoted his work and initiations, she cooked and did laundry for him, all detailed as painstakingly loving tasks. S. A really interesting book Bob Dillin This is a great book. A personal memoir of sorts written by a fascinating lady who has been all over the world and met so many interesting people including Donovan, The Beatles, The Beach Boys and The Maharishi. Written in an easy going personal style that's never boring.. r chandler said Great information for the spiritual aspirant. Provides a great insight into the early days of the TM organization.
