It was Mia's SISTER who had the affair with the Maharishi (hence the song "Dear Prudence")...tell your ma to get her facts straight.

>>>>Here's what actually happened:

George: Someone started the nasty rumour about Maharishi, a rumour that swept the media for years. There were many stories about how Maharishi was not on the level or whatever, but that was just jealousy about Maharishi. We’d need analysts to get into it. I don’t know what goes through these people’s minds, but this whole piece of bull**** was invented. It’s probably even in the history books that Maharishi ‘tried to attack Mia Farrow’ - but it’s bull****, total bull****. Just go and ask Mia Farrow. The story stirred up a situation. John had wanted to leave anyway, so that forced him into the position of thinking: ‘OK, now we’ve got a good reason to get out of here.’ We went to Maharishi and I said, ‘Look, I told you I was going. I’m going to the south of India.’ He couldn’t really accept that we were leaving, and he said, ‘What’s wrong?’ That’s when John said something like, 'Well, you’re supposed to be the mystic, you should know.’ We drove for hours. John had a song he had started to write which he was singing: ‘Maharishi, what have you done?’ and I said, ‘You can’t say that, it’s ridiculous.’ I came up with the title of ‘Sexy Sadie’ and John changed Maharishi to ‘Sexy Sadie’. John flew back to Yoko in England and I went to Madras and the south of India and spent another few weeks there. The story was put around about our leaving and, of course, the newspapers jumped on that. As it says in The Ruttles, ‘The press got hold of the wrong end of the stick and started beating about the bush with it.’ Now, historically, there’s the story that something went on that shouldn’t have done - but nothing did.

JOHN 1980: "'Dear Prudence' is me. Written in India. A song about Mia Farrow's sister, who seemed to go slightly balmy, meditating too long, and couldn't come out of the little hut we were livin' in. They selected me and George to try and bring her out because she would trust us. If she'd been in the West, they would have put her away... We got her out of the house. She'd been locked in for three weeks and was trying to reach God quicker than anybody else. That was the competition in Maharishi's camp-- who was going to get cosmic first. What I didn't know was I was 'already' cosmic." (laughs)

Well....back to the Mac.
