"SOMETHING GOOD IS HAPPENING"

12th January, 1975, was an important date in the history of Transcendental Meditation. The Age of Enlightenment was declared, and a World Plan was published. This event, taking place on Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's birthday, should be celebrated extraordinary, or - it could not be bypassed without contributions from the world of music and poetry.

"Something Good Is Happening", an LP-album, was produced in the honour of this glorious threshold to a new era, but for reasons not known to us the record was withdrawn by TM without any plans for re-release of the songs.

However, the Institute of Missiology and Ecumenics in Aarhus has the record on tape, and from this tape the lyrics of 3 songs from "Something Good is Happening" are presented especially to the readers of "Up-Date":

 

 

MAHARISHI

 

Fourteen years ago a gentle man came out

to help the world enjoy ... Oh boy!

Starting from the East

He travelled onward to the West

Where he began to show us how to dive

into pure consciousness

Sailing round the world

He's spreading waves of happiness

You all know his name ...Maharishi

 

CHORUS: Maharishi, Maharishi, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Maharishi, Maharishi, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

 

Working with the scientists

He came up with a plan for S.C.I..... Oh my!

With a firm foundation

Every student really learns

And with the fuel of pure intelligence

the fire of knowledge burns

When ignorance is burned in knowledge

Living truth returns

His name is aflame ...Maharishi

 

CHORUS: Maharishi, Maharishi, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Maharishi, Maharishi, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

 

Now we've got the World Plan

It strengthens every man in every land ...How Grand!

S.C.I. is spreading fast to each community

starting with 3.600 stretching to infinity

When the world population finds eternal peace

Remember the name ... Maharishi!

 

CHORUS: Maharishi, Maharishi, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Maharishi, Maharishi, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Maharishi, Maharishi, Mahari shi Jai Guru Dev

 

 

THE ARTIST AND THE SCIENTIST

 

Look at the artist painting his picture

Look at the painter painting his soul

Look at the artist creating a rainbow

Colors so soft you can see the room glow

 

I know an artist who paints with his heart strings

Filling the canvas with a golden glow

Everything grows within his picture frame

Like the universe we know

 

Look at the scientist searching for something

Something objective and hidden from view

Look at him piercing through life's surface shadow

Something objective is subjective too

 

I know a scientist helping his neighbor

Breaking the boundaries of Infinity

True understanding of the whole of life

Beyond diversity

 

Look at the artist painting his picture

Look at the painter painting his soul

Look at the scientist piercing the shadow

Shining within is a golden glow

Ah ah ahah ah ah ah

 

The artist sings in the song of life

The scientist studies in its moting

Two different roles will find their goals

In the same unbounded ocean.
