The term 'fifth Beatle' gets thrown around a lot – some say it was George Martin, some say it was Stuart Sutcliffe, some say it was Brian Epstein – but what about Maharishi Mahesh Yogi?
After all, it was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who introduced The Beatles to Transcendental Meditation and is therefore responsible for that rubbish George Harrison song on Sgt Pepper that everyone skips. Is Maharishi Mahesh Yogi the fifth Beatle, or even the sixth Beatle, or the 18th Beatle?
No. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is none of these things. Because he's just died.
