“I was always interested in Eastern philosophies and wanted to find out about meditation. I went to some lectures and became initiated into transcendental meditation. When the Maharishi came to England, George said he wanted to meet him and became passionate about his teachings.” - Pattie Boyd, Hello! (August 31, 2004)
“I wanted something deeper, and I started reading a lot of books written by all sorts of writers, and mainly mystic books, and then when The Beatles were on tour, I saw a little advertisement in The Times, Sunday Times, for learning Transcendental Meditation. So I phoned my girlfriend and I said, ‘Let’s go and hear what they, you know, let’s learn about meditation.’ So that’s what I did. And when George came back from the tour, I told him about TM, and then amazingly, about a week later, Paul phoned and said, ‘There’s this bloke called Maharishi who’s coming to London to give a talk, should we go and hear him?’ So I said, ‘Oh, that’s, you know, who I follow.’” - Pattie Boyd, BBC Radio 2 (September 2019)
“We were so different, from completely different backgrounds. He came from the north of England, Liverpool, and I suppose I felt more sophisticated than him. But we grew up together spiritually. It’s something you never lose. […] He was my first love and the most important influence in my life.” - Pattie Boyd, Hello! (August 31, 2004)
