It was in 1968 that Donovan, , Paul Horn and other seekers of enlightenment went to India to study with their teacher Maharishi. On his return Donovan was at the forefront in promoting meditation to the West.

“ The Beatles and I had searched for a teacher of meditation, as we knew from our studies of the books that this was the way truly to make humankind aware of what we were doing to each other and to bring peace to the world .We found Maharishi and he found us”.

David Lynch has acknowledged the important role that Donovan’s example gave in bringing him to meditation 39 years ago. Last year Donovan encouraged Moby to learn to meditate.

In July 2005 David Lynch created the David Lynch Foundation for consciousness based education and world peace to help the overwhelming problems faced in schools throughout the world. The Foundation has made it possible for 60,000 students to benefit from this amazingly successful technique, which unfolds the full potential of students.
