Maharishi Yogi RIP
Founder of the TM movement and pal to the Beatles Maharishi Yogi is dead. Maharishi Yogi got a bad rap as primarily being known for his pop culture association with the Fab Four, but in reality he offered the world so much more, as he was the first person to design a simple system of meditation for western minds. Plus he was always laughing.
Side note: I am not a big fan of the TM movement charging money to teach people how meditate, as that practice opens the doors to many sticky issues (guru worship, "enlightenment" that's obtainable for only those with money etc) but that's just my opinion, and all in all everyone I know involved with TM are very pleased with it.

Even though he lived only 30 kilometers from my place, I never visited him. Must have something to with the consolation I find from having studied philosophy?

I too am a little turned off by the money making aspect... but I'm still intrigued.
Can anyone recommend some good reading for a wanna-be beginner? I was checking out this one and this one ... but wasn't sure.
