John Lennon acknowledged that he reverted to drug taking after his
time at the Maharishi's Ashram, and though many of the songs on the
White Album were written in India, not the ones mentioned ('Helter
Skelter', 'Happiness is a Warm Gun' or 'Why Don't We do it in the
Road?') nor were many of the others, which were written during the
sessions. There were songs which were written in India which weren't
included on the White Album, amongst them some few that alluded to
TM, including 'Sour Milk Sea' (by George Harrison and recorded by
Jackie Lomax) & 'Child of Nature' (by John Lennon). There was
also 'Not Guilty' (George Harrisons lament 'Not Guilty for leading
you astray on the road to Mandalay, Not Guilty!').
