The Beatles had met with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi during a 1968 TM teacher-training course they attended in Rishikesh, India. After a bitter dispute, sparked by rumors of Maharishi sexually assaulting Mia Farrow[44], John Lennon was inspired to write the song "Sexy Sadie" ("what have you done? You made a fool of everyone") about Maharishi.[45] Whether the Maharishi's conduct with Farrow was sexual in nature is not clear. Mia Farrow's autobiography does not draw a definite conclusion: she describes "panicking" and fleeing after he put his arms around her in a dark cave, immediately after a private meditation session.[46] Word of the incident was given to the Beatles by "Magic" Alex Mardas, who portrayed it very negatively, devastating both John and George, who felt betrayed by the Maharishi.[47] Cynthia Lennon believed that Mardas invented the story to undermine the Maharishi's influence on the Beatles.[48][49] George Harrison, years later, commented on the contretemps, saying, "Now, historically, there's the story that something went on that shouldn't have done%u2014but nothing did,"[50] Paul McCartney, in his biography, likewise says that he does not believe the allegations and also attributes them to Mardas.[51]
The Beatles' song Across the Universe was beamed into space by NASA on February 4, February 5, Vlodrop time, 2008, and contains a reference to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's teacher Guru Dev. Other pop songs known to be about Maharishi include the Beatles' The Fool on the Hil

Hi Cricket, Sagar has said that even Paul McCartney has said that he does not believe in the allegations, and that it was invented by "Mardas".

The reality is that there is nothing good about Maharishi Yogi. He was nothing but a crook and charlaton and that is saying the least. he portrayed himself to be some sort of a savior when in reality he spoilt the name of Hinduism in the West. He was thrown out of America and had to take refuge in a morally bankrupt nation like Holland to evade the long arm of the law. Such were his last days that he couldn't even come to India. So just because he is dead does not mean his past has changed. He still remains a crook who did intolerable harm to Hinduism.
