Mr. Creme has not yet commented on the status of Maharishi at his time of passing, but wrote this: A tribute to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi A Great Soul has departed the world News of the death on 5 February 2008 of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi quickly circled the world. Obituaries and mini-biographies appeared, at least in the UK, in all the major newspapers and in radio and television newscasts. He was the one spiritual teacher of whom everyone had heard; his was a household name whether the hearer meditated or not. The Maharishi, as he became generally known, was a disciple of the great Guru Dev, one of the Supreme Masters of the South Indian Lodge of our Spiritual Hierarchy. Before His own departure from this life, Guru Dev instructed Maharishi to travel the world, teaching and training those who would teach what became known as Transcendental Meditation. This is a very simple form of meditation with no religious or ideological trappings. So committed, so tireless, was the Maharishi in these lengthy tours around the world, that hundreds of thousands of mostly young people took up this simple way to `bliss'. In 1967, the Beatles joined for a time. This inevitably focussed the attention of the media on this joyful yogi and led millions to take up the meditation. It is said that today some 5 million people do Transcendental Meditation. Maharishi's aim was to change the world for the better; his task could not have been better accomplished. As far as we know, he never said or saw it in this way but the Maharishi has helped to prepare a huge group of people for the work of Maitreya. Benjamin Creme
