London
(ANI):
Russell
Brand
has
taken
a
new
step
towards
spirituality
-
he
recently
returned
from
a
four-day
retreat
to
master
the
art
of
transcendental
meditation.
In
the
practice,
which
was
established
by
The
Beatles'
favourite
mystic,
Maharishi
Mahesh
Yogi,
devotees
use
a
repeated
mantra
to
gain
inner
calm.
And
the
comedian
has
long
been
a
fan
of
Eastern
mysticism
and
visited
the
late
holy
man's
university
in
Iowa,
America.
While
the
course
was
only
four
days,
Russell
has
said
that
he
would
never
re-locate
to
the
States
because
of
Morrissey-his
beloved
pet
pussy
cat.
"I'd
never
move
because
someone's
got
to
feed
him," the
Sun
quoted
Russell
as
saying.
"He
hissed
at
me
when
I
tried
to
explain,
but
he
doesn't
understand
concepts
such
as
travel
and
work.
And
he
certainly
doesn't
understand
the
concept
of
a
bikini,"
he
added.
