...yoga. But he went, and much to his surprise, found a yogi talking about social interaction and the necessity to transform society. He learned that the man was in Ananda Marga, joined the organization himself, and soon began "whole-timer" training. But in 1962, at the request of the Guru of Ananda Marga, Shrii P. R. Sarkar, Prasad left whole-timer training, got married, and continued his education as an engineer. He now lives in New York, has a full-time job, takes a course in computer programming, and spends weekends in various Ananda Marga centers on the East Coast...
...went on a typical day last week during New York's Second Annual Christmas String Seminar. Sasha Schneider served as a combination guru, godfather and gourmet guide-preaching music to his temporary flock, shepherding them around town, invariably leading them en masse to one of his favorite Chinese restaurants. Sponsored by Carnegie Hall, The New School and the National Endowment for the Arts, the seminar brought together 57 youthful players between the ages of 14 and 22 for ten days of expert coaching, supervised practice and-for players so young-the rare opportunity to give three orchestral concerts...
...Grateful Dead grew up as a band in the center of a diffuse, many-sided movement that, taken as a whole, has been called the San Francisco hip scene. Jerry Garcia ("Captain Trips" or "the Guru," now 31 years old) started out in Palo Alto, California, with Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Band.

They played at many of the first large rock dances in the Bay Area; they played the Acid Test...
...title seemed a paradox. The self-contradictions carry over into Cioran's life. He is not the heavy, black presence a reader might expect, but a slim, rather unformidable fellow with light blue eyes who smiles a lot. A man whom Susan Sontag has sponsored as a guru of Now happens to be the son of a Greek Orthodox priest, raised in a small Rumanian village in the Carpathian Mountains. True, he went to Paris as a graduate student of philosophy in 1937. But he is in Paris, not of it. He scrapes by as a translator and manuscript...
...toughest part was living with Manson. Enraged when the judge called him "incompetent" to run his defense, and well aware that the climate against him was overwhelming, Manson weeks ago devised a weird ploy that no lawyer, even a bad one, could abide. The guru determined that the girls from his "family" should take the stand, sweetly confess all and say that he had nothing to do with it. Then Manson would testify, both to confirm his innocence and tell the world his special truths. Fitzgerald vainly argued the obvious: not only would the girls be convicted, but Manson would...
