Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Mia Farrows sister Prudence and Tracy...






Ready for a story everyone??? A very Special story.....

Today was the Gem fair..a day that I was looking forward to for some reason..that was yet to reveal itself to me until I stepped foot into the Pavilion.

My attention was immediately drawn to a gentleman's table in the far off right corner and it was almost like a Magnet that directly took me by the hand and guided me to this mans table...

I looked down and saw this pendant...
I just KNEW I knew who he was, yet I could not place him at the time.

I asked the man at the table who the Guru was on the pendant and he was drawing a blank as well...
but, he did tell me that he made a handful of these for a woman who lives in Monterey and her name was Anne Farrow..he only had the one left as it was an extra...

I told him I would google her and see if I could come up with who the Guru was...

I paid him the $12.00 for the pendant set in sterling silver and went on my way..knowing deep inside I had a very special gift...just not knowing how special it really was!

When I got home I had remembered who the man was in the pendant as I had a book on him and his photo was in Namarupa magazine with the Beatles...Maharishi Mahesh Yogi...but I googled the woman's name anyway..
and found out that the woman is the sister of actress Mia Farrow and her birth name is Prudence Anne Villiers Farrow. She was in India in 1967-68 with the Beatles and stayed at the Ashram with them...and she was the inspiration for the song written by John Lennon.."Dear Prudence"...

I feel so Blessed to have been able to get this pendant, as when I was in India in 2008 I took a meditation class with Narasimhan my teacher who was a direct student of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I will never forget his love for his teacher and how he looked at his photo and smiled the most serene smile I will ever see...placing flowers below his photo and placing his hands in Namaste.
Upon my return to the states I heard the news of the passing of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
I thought about what a blessing it was to have experienced the gift of learning TM from my teacher while in India...
a technique that I practice daily and love so much.

I really had no idea that this was going to be such a special blessing...
but then who really does?
It was just as it was..
meant to BE~

Namaste~

WOW Tracy!!! Thank you for that story! I read it about 3 times to get the "just" of what you were trying to say. I would love to see the pendant. Thanks again! Angela

P.S. Don't think we're going to be here much longer.
