Certainly not a Lecherishi. MAHARISHI: I am a single person. I'm a Purusha. I'm a -- what do you call it -- Sannyasi, if you understand the word. I'm a monk, if you understand it... LARRY KING: You're a bachelor. MAHARISHI: ... monk. KING: Do you have special diets that you eat? MAHARISHI: I think that diet that I eat, everyone eats the same thing -- some rice, some dal, some chapatis, something vegetables. But I like this organic, organic. I recommend to people organic agriculture -- Vedic organic agriculture. Huge amount of scientific research has shown that with the Vedic hymns, with the Vedic melodies, the nutrients grow in the trees very much in the fruits, in the crops, in the vegetables. May 12, 2002 A Young mother who became a top disciple of the Beatles' former guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, claims he seduced her -- although he professes to be a celibate monk. After travelling to India to join the Transcendental Meditation movement, Mrs Linda Pearce says she fell completely under the Maharishi's spell. And then into his bed. "I was a virgin and knew nothing about sex," said 34-year-old Mrs Pearce. "He said he loved me and that I was the only one. 'You make my life so good,' he told me. "When I asked about his celibacy he said: 'There are exceptions to every rule.' He was a brilliant manipulator. I just couldn't see that he was a dirty old man. We made love regularly. And I don't think I was the only girl. At one stage I thought I was pregnant by him." - Sexy romps of the Beatle's giggling guru 'I gave my mind to the Maharishi and he took my body' News of the World, UK/August 23, 1981 By David Mertens
