tribute to Maharishi


Explanation:
Hello Morton,
Here's one explanation:

"What does "Jai Guru Deva Om" from Across The Universe mean?

The generally accepted meaning for "Jai Guru Deva Om" is that it is a tribute to the Maharishi's guru, Jai Guru Dev. The "om" is thought to be a sound one would make while meditating. "

Good luck from Oso ¶:^)
Peace and Love, man!

Across The Universe
(Lennon/McCartney)
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away Across the Universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai Guru Deva Om
Nothing\'s gonna change my world, Nothing\'s gonna change my world.
Nothing\'s gonna change my world, Nothing\'s gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on Across the Universe.
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box,
They tumble blindly as they make their way Across the Universe

Jai Guru Deva Om
Nothing\'s gonna change my world, Nothing\'s gonna change my world.
Nothing\'s gonna change my world, Nothing\'s gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me.
Limitless, undying love, which shines around me like a million suns,
And calls me on and on Across the Universe

Jai Guru Deva Om
Nothing\'s gonna change my world, Nothing\'s gonna change my world.
Nothing\'s gonna change my world, Nothing\'s gonna change my world.
