A John Lennon song written Rishikesh but about it, or more precisely, about Mharishi Mahesh Yogi, under whose tutelage the Beatles had studied Transcendental Meditation. Having left the course earlier than expected, miffed with the Maharishi, John returned to England and wrote what was initially an angry diatribe about the spiritual leader. But by the time the song reached the recording studio the title and lyric had altered and mellowed to mask its original intent. It was not an easy song to record, the final version being a second re-make begun on 13 August, more than three weeks after the first attempt.
