Donovan Philips Leitch 1972
Sixties pop star Donovan is working on a plan to open a university in Scotland which will concentrate on transcendental meditation.

The 'Mellow Yellow' singer says guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi told him to build the university on a visit to India in 1968, and it wasn't until he met famed film director David Lynch in recent years that he decided to fulfill the Maharishi's request.

"I know it sounds like an airy-fairy hippie dream to go on about '60s peace and love," Donovan told the Associated Press "But the world is ready for this now."
