Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is one of the most recognized spiritual leaders of the world. Almost single-handedly, the Maharishi (meaning great sage) brought Eastern culture into Western consciousness.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was born on January 12, 1917 and died on February 5, 2008. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi would have been 91 years old at the time of death or 95 years old today.
The late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's claim to fame was Transcendental Meditation; a pioneering relaxation technique. He was the Beatles' "spiritual advisor" in the late sixties... but it didn't last...
