How India and a Shady Guru Changed the Beatles Forever

Daily Beast

I knew another guy who was also a devotee of this guru. He had been into TM, and had set right next to The Man himself, at one time.

We were Tech Writers and shared the same room in San Diego, CA. He was always saying how much he wanted form his own group. I got tired of this, and told him to advertise and get the people - and I would find a place for us to meet.

Sure enough, he came up with twenty people, or so, by advertising in the New Age newspapers. I had a new apartment, and we sat on floor of the living room, and talked about ourselves. That was all we did - but the group was a success!

He did not share in this success - because he had to take care of his mother, who happened to come along just then.

San Diego went downhill after that. The Central Coast, that used to be so nice, was developed also.

I went north, all the way to Silicon Valley - with its awesome ups and downs.

The energy there moved northward - away from Santa Cruz, that had been a Hippy town - and even ended up in Seattle.

Somehow these areas had the right stuff - and that included a little Meditation, also.
