THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a guru to the Beatles who introduced the West to transcendental meditation, died Tuesday at his home in the Dutch town of Vlodrop, a spokesman said. He was thought to be 91 years old.
"He died peacefully at about 7 p.m.," said Bob Roth, a spokesman for the Transcendental Meditation movement that the Maharishi founded. Roth said his death appeared to be due to "natural causes, his age."

Well, thanks for influencing them to write those two or so eastern-tinged songs I hate.

I did Transcendental Meditation in the seventies. I didn't keep up with it, however. They made all sorts of ridiculous claims, like being able to cure everything.
