The Girl in the Song- Prudence Farrow

When The Beatles arrived in India to study with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, they were joined by the Farrow sisters, Mia and Prudence. Prudence was so dedicated to meditation that she became reclusive. John and George Harrison were tasked with bringing her out of her room and John wrote 'Dear Prudence' in response. Prudence recalled of the song,

"I was flattered. It was a beautiful thing to have done"

Prudence went on to teach transcendental meditation and eventually became a primary school teacher.
