Al Jardine's Statement on Maharishi

[Eric Aniversario]

I saw the post on Mike's statement, so I thought it would be appropriate to post Al's statement, as posted by Val on the BBB Board:


I am saddened by this great man's passing. He helped to enlighten me and my family to the value of transcendental meditation. He hoped to enlighten the world, but said that it must start with each individual, the family, the community, and then entire nations.
He would chastise me in a kind way if I stayed away too long, "Where have you been?". And of course I could not think of a single good answer because being in his presence made one feel like a complete idiot for staying away too long.
He left me with a tool to deal with life and it's complexities. For that I will always be greatful, and whenever I'm dipping into that "pool of peace inside", I will always think of him.


Jai Guru Dev, Al Jardine
