Was John Lennon influenced by Meher Baba?

Answer 1

Never to my knowledge was Lennon influenced, or even ever heard of Meher Baba. He, as well as other Beatles, concerned themselves with buck-privates in the Spiritual realm of India -- Maharishi this and Maharishi that, but never with the Commander in Chief. to my knowledge. Now, who's to say that the Commander in Chief was not drawing the impressions of these mere spiritual buck-private Indian gurus to Himself for the sake of Love. Nobody, can really answer that one. We do have Meher Baba on record, when seeing Pete Townsend's photo on the cover of Rolling Stones, firmly placing his thumb on Pete's face and gesturing,"He's mine!" -babaelf, a former Catholic priest who discovered Meher Baba in Pete Townsend's living room -- through an 'alive' photo, no less, in 1974! - babaelf
