...passersby, many of whom looked on perplexed or peeved. Passengers in a bus that stopped near the marchers said they had no clue what the rainbow flags stood for or what the marchers were doing. Even the three men beating the bhangra drums for the marchers - Monu, Mahesh and Inder Bhat - said they had no clue what the march was about. "We came to play so everyone could dance and have a nice time. That's all we know." The march was clearly only a beginning...
...BEATLES MADE THEIR guru famous when they visited his ashram in 1968, but in the end, Transcendental Meditation founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi may have regretted the association. The maharishi brought TM--the practice of exploring consciousness through meditation and chanting--to the U.S. in 1959, and with the cachet of star followers like the Rolling Stones and Mia Farrow, it became a multimillion-dollar global business. But the gray-haired guru was said to have become uncomfortable with its drug-using, counterculture fan base. After the Fab Four's celebrated visit, the band and its guru famously split. The maharishi...
...thing it says on that tin is "baked beans." Ringo never liked fancy foreign food, and in 1967 went off with fellow Beatles to see the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India, carrying with him a suitcase full of baked beans.

...city's outskirts. The hill is made up of some 12 million cubic meters of rubble cleared away after Berlin was destroyed in World War II; the site was later used as a U.S. listening post during the Cold War. Lynch and Schiffgens are followers of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who founded the concept of transcendental meditation. Schiffgens says that with Lynch's help he plans to build a gleaming new "university" on Teufelsberg in order to provide "knowledge to students but also give them the chance to be enlightened." The university would form part of a network of similar...
...then, the most significant outcome might be to remind teachers and parents - even those math-minded scientists - that dyscalculia is a neurological condition, quite separate from not paying attention in class or just being a bit slow. "Dyscalculia is where dyslexia was 30, 40 or 50 years ago," says Mahesh Sharma, a professor of mathematics education at Cambridge College in Massachusetts. Indeed, even the definition is a bit fuzzy. Some researchers count disabilities in spatial perception or arithmetic operations as dyscalculia, while others restrict it to difficulty recognizing numbers normally. Cohen Kadosh's tests hold out the possibility that different...
