Your question was whether John Lennon might have been right, after all, when he suggested that he had been made a fool of. It is a good question and on reflection and seeing how the topic is now about whether or not the bungalow was grand (by local standards it most certainly was) or whether there was a helipad (there was a landing spot closeby 'Mararshi' kutir'). Really Lennon was 'unstressing', as Vaj rightly points out, and was looking for targets for his rage against Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who he felt had overstretched himself in teaching about a state of cosmic consciousness, yet apparently not even understand why John Lennon wanted out. And Yes, MMY took everyone for a ride though it was not in a helicopter but on the magic carpets of their imaginations which he fed with anything that came into to his head. I think history will see him as a false prophet, but to his credit he did get people thinking about the topic of meditation. But is mumbling the names of gods really meditation. I always thought meditation was letting go and savouring the inner silence of no-thoughts, and I learned that from my TM teacher in Maharishi's kutir, near the helipad, Jai Guru Deva.
