Culture: SoCal quake: Deepak Chopra takes credit for something he didn’t do

  • Had a powerful meditation just now – caused an earthquake in Southern California. Was meditating on Shiva mantra & earth began to shake. Sorry about that.
  • Meditation guru Deepak Chopra • Regarding the California quake he didn’t cause. If he was making a joke about the quake, it didn’t go over super well, because it quickly became the object of derision. If he was being honest, man, he needs to meditate less. We can shake the earth too with our loud, angry typing, Deepak. You should be scared of us. source
