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was produced in the honour of this glorious threshold to a new era, but for reasons not known to us the record was withdrawn by TM without any plans for re-release of the songs.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