Dr. Shumsky is a highly respected spiritual teacher, award-winning author, and founder of Divine Revelation®—a unique field-proven technology for contacting the divine presence, hearing and testing the inner voice, and receiving clear divine guidance. For 22 years, her mentor was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who was guru of the Beatles and guru of Deepak Chopra. Dr. Shumsky served on Maharishi’s personal staff for 6 years. In 1970, Dr. Shumsky spent 6 months in Rishikesh studying with Maharishi at his ashram. She has returned to India several times, including 2001, 2007, 2010, and 2013, when she led tours to the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad and Haridwar.
In Dr. Shumsky’s memoir, Maharishi & Me: Seeking Enlightenment with the Beatles’ Guru, she describes what it’s really like to be a disciple of a spiritual master from India—an intense emotional roller coaster ride from heaven to hell and back. She calls the process “open-ego surgery.” She also tells the true story of what happened when the Beatles and other celebrities visited Maharishi’s ashram in Rishikesh.
