Foreigner molested in Ahmedabad's Gandhi Ashram
2008-02-19 04:59:00 AHMEDABAD: In a shocking incident, two inebriated youth allegedly molested a foreigner inside the museum of Gandhi Ashram on Monday but strangely no complaint was lodged as it would have required the police to enter the ashram which, according to officials, would have ??affected the sanctity'' of the place. The youth allegedly assaulted the woman when she, along with her husband and a local guide, was viewing the photographs depicting India's freedom struggle at around 4 pm. According to eyewitnesses, the two men entered the exhibition hall, grabbed the woman and tried to forcibly kiss her. One of the youth managed to escape, but the ashram staff managed to catch hold of the other. The youth panicked and, while trying to flee, damaged a couple of Mahatma Gandhi's mounted photographs. The staff eventually overpowered and thrashed him. The staffers were instructed to remain tightlipped about the incident. A worker at the Ashram said she was unaware of any such incident. But...
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi hated the Beatles smoking pot in his ashram
2008-02-06 10:34:00 Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the Indian founder of Transcendental Meditation, who died in the Netherlands on Feb 5, strongly disapproved of the fact that his most high profile followers, the Beatles took drugs while staying at his Indian ashram. The Maharishi, who was believed to be 91, gained international status after guiding the Beatles, who spent time on a retreat in India in the late 1960s. But, their relationship became unpleasant because the Maharishi was exasperated with the group taking drugs at his home in Rishikesh, northern India. With the exception of the late George Harrison, the Beatles became disillusioned with the Maharishi and following a widely-publicised spat, left India. Shedding light on the actual cause behind the bitterness, spiritualist and author Deepak Chopra, a former Maharishi disciple and a friend of Harrison, revealed that contrary to popular myth, the fight was nothing to do with claims that the Maharishi made sexual advances on ...
