From the Beatles to Wall Street: My 2 Cents on Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

"Time to Live, Time to Lie, Time to Laugh, Time to Die. Take it easy baby."

Take it As it Comes, inspired by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and written by Robby Krieger, The Doors

As the guru vibrates through the Bardo state to his new existence, the Maharishi Global Financial Capital of New York is offering $2.6 Billion 15-year 10% bonds to develop "invincible" hospitals and colleges in the richest countries in the world. Many are still quick to disregard the Yogi as a quack even as he continued on living in bliss, developing his own city, organic agriculture, management university, disease-free health system and global currency, the Raam. Keeping a low profile, people have long thought that Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was already dead, or at least immortal, while his enemies were wishing that he were dead.

During a cave meditation up in the Himalayan Mountains, the Yogi realized that all humans are blessed with an everlasting existence. In 1959, the Yogi promised that "I will fill the world with the light of knowledge and create heaven on earth" and brought to the Western world his trademarked system, Transcendental Meditation™. TM™ has been the most successful and lucrative meditation practice that is devoted to living a life of self-actualization and integrating higher consciousness into every day habits, not just in church for three hours on Sunday. Parallel to Carl Jung's psychological concepts, the TM™ strives for humans to achieve their full potential through self-actualization.
