...that he "was trying to catch them as they are at present. They have moved on since Sgt. Pepper-the drug thing -to the meditation scene." Notable among the flowers, all of which are real, is the rose held by Paul, who told Scarfe that the Beatles' own guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, once gave him a rose with this parable: "Here are the petals of the rose. Here is the stalk of the rose. But none of these is the real rose. The real rose is the sap." "And that," said Paul to Scarfe, "is what...
...from which some 40 cigarettes can be rolled). It was only a matter of time before some enterprising head decided to combine the hippie love of things rural with the prospect of easy cash. Early this summer, John H. ("Ian") Fralich, 18, a cape-draped hippie guru in Washington, B.C., leased a wooded, 35-acre farm in Virginia's rolling hunt country and seeded one acre in marijuana-enough plants to produce a $100,000 harvest at current market prices.

Yet another guru, Indian Sitar Virtuoso Ravi Shankar, who now has a burgeoning music school in Los Angeles, is dead set against drug use as an enhancement to music. He recently lectured the Monterey Pop Festival audience, chiding them for being stoned while listening to his music, which he claims should be sufficient...
...Gong Guru. Old Jim swings in other ways. He took LSD before it was fashionable. He digs for relics in Yucatan, goes on three-day fasts. Wearing wrap-around shades on his eyes, and with a cigarette holder between his teeth, he drives his silver Ferrari "as fast as I can everywhere I go, playing little tunes on the gears." For solace, he retreats to his 22-room Spanish villa atop Beverly Hills, sits cross-legged on a leopard-skin pillow, drops his head, closes his eyes, and bongs away on four Japanese gongs and a large hollow log from...
