Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Founder of the Transcendental Meditation movement and teacher of the Beatles, Mia Farrow, and millions of others. A disciple of Brahmananda Saraswati (Guru Dev), Maharishi made the practice of effortless transcending available globally beginning in 1957. His teachings on consciousness, the unified field, and the transcendent Self bridged Vedic science and Western culture, and shaped modern conversation about meditation as a daily life practice.
