Maharishi Mahesh Yogi: "I'll end terrorism for only $1 billion!"

It’s misspelled. It should be The Vedic Panic!

It’s the “in” dance that’s all the rage amonst sheiks and shebas who cut a rug on college campuses!

Here is The Panic
See how it goes!
Down on your heels!
Up on your toes!
That’s the way you do the Vedic Panic!
Doh-de-ohd’l-oh-doh!

Hotter than hot
Newer than new,
Meaner than mean
Bluer than blue,
Makes you feel all glad and very manic!

Cross up your knees
Medititate in your head
Send happy vibes out!
While you sit on your bed!
It’s very very good, not at all Satanic!

SOOOoooo

Here is The Panic!
See how it goes!
Down on your heels!
Up on your toes!
That’s the way you do the Vedic Panic!
Doh-de-ohd’l-oh-doh!

Fenris, one kool kat!

jovan misquoted the lyrics. The song is “Sexy Sadie” by the Beatles, and is found on the white album–
Sexy Sadie what have you done
You made a fool of everyone
You made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie ooh what have you done.

Sexy Sadie you broke the rules
You layed it down for all to see
You layed it down for all to see
Sexy Sadie oooh you broke the rules.

One sunny day the world was waiting for a lover
She came along to turn on everyone
Sexy Sadie the greatest of them all.

Sexy Sadie how did you know
The world was waiting just for you
The world was waiting just for you
Sexy Sadie oooh how did you know.

Sexy Sadie you’ll get yours yet
However big you think you are
However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie oooh you’ll get yours yet.

We gave her everything we owned just to sit at her table
Just a smile would lighten everything
Sexy Sadie she’s the latest and the greatest of them all.

She made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie.

However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie.

Read “Maharishi” for “Sexy Sadie”… The name (and gender) were changed for legal reasons.

The Feds oughta bust the guy for racketeering. Clearly, this is just a protection racket on a huge scale.

I seen “The Sopranos”, man. I know what this guy’s up to…

“Youse got a real nice world here. I’d hate ta see sumpin happen to it. Dat would be tragic. Bad t’ings happen every day, ain’t dat right, Vinnie? Rocco? Dese mugs agree wit’ me, and if you is smart, you’ll see I’ve got a point.”

“We’ll be back next week. Have the money ready, or it’s Armageddon.”

Isn’t there a sign somewhere about not posting the lyrics to songs?

As for the Mahareshi, well, an easy way to generate cheap publicity is to make a headline-grabbing promise you know you’ll never be called upon to fulfill. Con artists are good at this sort of thing.

Heheh my friend Fenris, feel my fury.

Not being a very religious Hindu, some of this may not be correct, but what the hell.

The Vedas is the Hindu holy book, comprised of… uh… 4 books, I think.

A pandit is somewhat like a priest. At religious ceremonies, there is almost always a pandit to take place in the prayer, and oversee it.

So using my magical powers of deduction, I WOULD ASSUME that a Vedic Pandit is a Pandit that is very trained in the scriptures of the Vedas. But then again, shouldn’t every holy figure be well studied in their own field of literature?

…Watch me be absolutely wrong about this… :smiley:

He doesn’t need the billion. He can finance the training by pulling a quarter from behind everyone’s ear.

Want to be one of the Maharishi Hashishi’s vedic pandits?

Start by standing in a room and bouncing in place on you toes. Gradually start bouncing more and more until you bounce into the air with every bound.

Now sit down on the floor with your legs crossed. Start rocking your hips and legs back and forth while keeping you torso upright. Gradually start rocking until you rock up onto your knees and back down again. Then put more force into the rocking so that you bounce into the air slightly each time you rock up on your knees. Finally, put a lot of force into the rocking so that you bounce about a foot in the air each time you rock up on your knees.

That, plus attendance at the Maharishi’s university (bring lots of bucks), makes you one of the Maharishi’s vedic pandits, also known as a yogic flyer. According to M. Hashishi, if you assemble enough yogic flyers and get them bouncing on their knees at the same time, all will be well with the world due to the Maharishi effect involving the unified field.

You’ll be hard pressed to find any pics or clips of yogic flyers actually bouncing, for they like to pretend that they are levitating, and thus only show pics of the top of their bounce. A few years ago, the Natural Law Party of Canada (yes, Hashishi is tryng to take over the world) let the CBC in to interview them. The resulting video of a room full of them claiming levitation while bouncing about on their knees made the national news. One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

Why go with 40,000 indian pandits when one American pundit can do the job, right? Or, if ya just gotta go foreign, why not see if Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji coud get the job done with only 20,000 pandas?

We have a newbie with her/his first post! Welcome to the SDMB Sympatha! Did anyone tell you about the two hamster cover charge? :smiley:

Boy! Your first post is in the Pit. What a brave soul. Just wait till you get piled on. But who knows, you might like it.

Maybe the day of the Second Coming? We all know when that is, right? :wink:

When is “The Second Coming”?

:smiley:

…two…three…four…

Well, I’m for another shot at it about ten minutes after The First Coming. But YMMV.

Hah, thanks for the welcome… I’ve been cruisin these boards for a while, but never posted :stuck_out_tongue:

And damn, could this server use another hamster or two… took me like, 4 minutes just to get this thread…

And of course I’ll like being piled on :wink:
