Slideshow set to music.This unreleased February 1968 alternative take of the song (recorded before the master), sans heavy production, appeared on Anthology 2 in 1996.

So here goes : "Jai Guru Deva" translates as (roughly) "Victory to God divine" or "Hail to the divine Guru" - here John might be referring to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi or to spiritual masters in general."Om" is an 'add-on' word here : It is used as the most sacred word in Indian thought and often used by monks during meditation.It represents the birth growth and death of the Cosmos. It is also the Vibration / sound of the Cosmos literally.If you could step outside the Universe and listen to it that is what you would hear. The Yogis hear this in deep meditation.
