Peter Sellers met a pink-blanket salesman called Swami Bhaktivedanta Prabhupad and on his advice spent quite some time jiggling little beads inside a bag. Unfortunately he didn't spend enough time jiggling little beads and as a result was not able to join Swami Bhaktivedanta Prabhupad's epic-making journey into outer space in search of inner peace, Buzz Aldrin and Boy George. He did... die, have an interview with the god of death, Yama, and come back to life and tell serious "porkies" about what really happened. For a while Peter Sellers was known as "Hairy Krishna" owing to his fascination with little bags, pink blankets and Oscar Wilde. Another reason Peter Sellers was known as "Hairy Krishna" were his efforts to outdo the god, Krishna, in how many wives and/or concubines he had. Sellers' inability to physically manifest himself in 108 places at once so he could shag as many beautiful woman as Krishna put him at a serious disadvantage; hence his decision not to star in any "blue" movies.

Although Peter Sellers remained a member of the Chelsea Lodge to his dying day in July 1980, he never once appears to have attended Lodge except for the three meetings in which he took part. This period in his life was both a busy and important one. He was an ambitious man and was building his career. In 1949 he used his talent for impersonation in a most mischievous way to obtain his first audition at the age of 23. He rang Roy Speer, the producer of the popular radio program Ray’s a Laugh and using Kenneth Horne’s voice, insisted that Speer should really consider auditioning this youngster called Peter Sellers, a wonderful new performer. He admitted on the telephone line who he really was and his cheeky approach paid off.
