​Maharishi and Me, with author Susan Shumsky

Secrets never before revealed about Maharishi and his celebrity disciples from a rare insider who spent 22 years in the ashrams and six years on the personal staff of the man who made "meditation" a household word in the 20th century: Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Susan Shumsky is an award-winning author of 14 books and has done over 1400 media and speaking engagements. Her new memoir,Maharishi & Me: Seeking Enlightenment with the Beatles' Guru, is filled with unique experiences she underwent while under the tutelage of the founder of Transcendental Meditation. She started practicing TM over 50 years ago. Having spent over two decades studying with this incredible guru, she discovered unexpected ways in which gurus work, and learned about Maharishi’s relationship with the Beatles, Deepak Chopra, Mia Farrow, her sister "Dear Prudence," Mike Love of the Beach Boys, and other celebrities.
