Sexy Sadie, what have done?You made a fool of everyone
The Beatles, "Sexy Sadie,"
1968Substitute "Maharishi" for Sexy Sadie, and it goes well, does it not? Of course it does. John Lennon composed the lyrics to that song with "Maharishi," but was persuaded to change it to avoid a law suit.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a.k.a. "Sexy Sadie," passed away earlier today in the Netherlands, he was believed to have been 91.
Here's my favorite Maharishi Mahesh Yogi story, which comes from Bob Spitz' The Beatles--The Biography:
After a brief Hindu prayer was intoned, the Maharishi whispered a handpicked mantra in the disciples ear, along with advice that he or she was never to share it with anyone. "It was especially chosen to harmonize with your personal vibration," he said. Weeks later, after the novelty had worn off, (Beatles personal assistant) Mal Evans divulged that his mantra was I-ing, at which point everyone discovered they had been given the same word.
May his spirit rest in peace.
I-ing.
