Deepak Chopra “Blames Own Meditation for Baja Quake.”
No, really!
The U.S. Geological Survey is blaming day-to-day seismological changes for Sunday’s 7.2 earthquake along the U.S.-Mexico border. But Deepak Chopra, the famed alternative-medicine practitioner and transcendental meditation guru, is pretty sure he knows what really happened.
Advertisement“Had a powerful meditation just now — caused an earthquake in Southern California,” Chopra wrote to his nearly 179,000 Twitter followers shortly after the quake.
And then, to clarify: “Was meditating on Shiva mantra & earth began to shake,” he tweeted. “Sorry about that.”
Deepak Chopra, here in San Jose, Calif., sent messages on Sunday to his thousands of Twitter followers apologizing for causing an earthquake in Southern California with powerful meditation.
Chopra might want to apologize directly to those in California, who haven’t suffered significant infrastructure damage but are still bracing for more temblors, and to those in Mexico, where two are dead, hundreds are injured and thousands are still without power.
How long before Deepak starts to unpack that riff?
On the other hand, it beats blaming it on global warming.
Update: “Well, now that he’s admitted it, let the lawsuits begin.” Heh.™
If he John Edwards to rehabilitate his reputation, filing a class action lawsuit against Deepak to recover damages caused by his earthquake would be a good place to start.
John Edwards did not come to mind. But I did wonder if someone would come forward and try to sue him for damages.

Sue him? I say arrest him for murder!
