Mike Love's Statement:
While in Paris participating in a UNICEF benefit show, the Beach Boys
were introduced to Mahari**** Mahesh Yogi. That was in December of 1967.
Dennis Wilson, Carl Wilson, Alan Jardine and myself along with several
family members learned the TM technique from Mahari**** himself. Two
months later, I made the journey to Ri**** Kesh, India, where Donovan and
the Beatles also attended a teacher's training course. Alan and I both
became teachers of TM a couple years later.
To say that what I have learned from Mahari**** has been of great benefit
to me is an understatement to be sure. Mahari**** has designed a pathway
of development of human potential, which includes transcendental
mediation, the TM-Sidhi program, Mahari**** Ayurveda, Jyotish, and
Yagyas, -- all derived directly from the Earth's most ancient text, The
Vedas.
No less a goal than that of world peace was Mahari****'s life's work. For
those of us who were fortunate enough to have been in his presence, his
passing is profoundly sad. But I for one, am among the millions who are
grateful for what he shared with us on this, "The dawn of the Age of
Enlightenment" on the way to the goal which Mahari**** called "Heaven on
Earth." We will miss you, but your great light will ****ne on.
Jai Guru Dev

Al Jardine's statement:
"I am saddened by this great man's passing. He helped to enlighten me
and my family to the value of transcendental meditation. He hoped to
enlighten the world, but said that it must start with each individual,
the family, the community, and then entire nations.
"He would chastise me in a kind way if I stayed away too long, 'Where
have you been?' And of course I could not think of a single good answer,
because being in his presence made one feel like a complete idiot for
staying away too long.
"He left me with a tool to deal with life and its complexities. For that
I will always be greatful, and whenever I'm dipping into that 'pool of
peace inside,' I will always think of him."
Jai Guru Dev, Al Jardine
