RISHIKESH (India), February 5.
The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, “the guru for the jet set,” was building a helicopter port today, the better to whisk the Beatles secretly to his. luxurious Himalayan mountain retreat, United Press International reports.
No date has been announced for the planned meditation of the world’s most celebrated “pop” singers in this hide-away 100 miles north-east of New Delhi, on the banks of the sacred River Ganges. But the Merseysiders are expected to fly individually to various Indian cities, in an effort to avoid fans, and then be hustled by modern helicopter to the ancient Himalayan settlement of Rishikesh.
Other foreign followers of the yogi, including the American actress Mia Farrow, are believed “already in meditation” in one of his special ultra-modern caves.
