The story I heard, according to Cynthia Lennon, in her first book,
goes like this.
She felt that this trip to India and being with Maharishi, clean,
without drugs, for a while, would renew their marriage and his
relationship with his son, Julian.
But no, this was not to be: There was this guy, named Magic Alex.
He had been a Lennon groupie, of sorts, and a wizard with electronics
and special effects.
Anyway, he had no use for Maharishi and his hold over John.
So, he brought the drugs in, and made up this rumor about Maharishi,
being sexual with someone on the course, perhaps Mia, or someone
else;
But according to Cynthia Lennon, this was all made up by Alex as a
ploy, to get him to leave India, and return to the good life of sex,
drugs and rock and roll.
So, as John was walking out- Maharishi was confused and upset-
"Why are you leaving", he asked; "what is wrong?"
John said, in a nasty tone: "If you're so f--king cosmic, you should
know", and walked out.
No one would give them a ride when they left the ashram, because it
was bad luck to help someone, who had cursed Maharishi, as he was
regarded as a Saint, in that part of the world.
John Lennon got stranded in India, at that point, bad luck began for
him, and his wife and son.
>From that point on, Cynthia, lost the last thread of hope, for their
marriage.
John began seeing Yoko Ono, and she introduced him to heroin.
Later he separated from Yoko,
And was to become an alcoholic, hanging out in L.A. and singing songs
like: 'Whatever gets you through the night, it's alright, it's
alright"...
"Do it wrong, or do it right, it's alright, it's alright.
John Lennon returned to Yoko, in 1975, and they had a baby together,
and he cleaned up his act.
On December 8th, 1980, John Lennon was assassinated by a man, who was
a deranged fan of his.
He had just returned from the studio, that night, in NYC;
With the new song, he and Yoko, were working on:
'Walking on thin Ice'.
John Lennon was placed in a police car, bleeding heavily, from
massive gunshot wounds to his chest.
He was asked by the police, "What is your name?"
He replied, "John Lennon".
And the world was saddened and shocked as news of his murder,
Spread around the globe-
It was truly the end of an era,
John was dead, and Ronald Reagan, was taking power, at about the same
time.
Reagan never did like hippies, and tree huggers.
As for Mia Farrow-
I'm not sure what it is about her that attracts her to these powerful
men?
And I seriously doubt that any rumors from that course are true,
because of all the power trips, the ego trips, and so on, and so
forth...ad infinitum.
