Answer:The Beatles song Across The Universe was beamed into space by NASA
recently” http://www.nasa.gov/topics
If you have mentioned NASA, you get the points. But, any answer which has something to do with the yogi’s death does not fall into BB’s spectrum interest, so no points there :)

Jai Gurudeva Om!is being beeped in the audio cut….
Maharshi Mahesh Yogi is dead and this track across the universe is from the beatles 1970 album Let it Be,was influenced by the Yogi’s meditation techniques I reckon!

Dude… seriously… why the Bleep? Its not like its hard to find out which song it is.
Anyway, the song is: Beatles - Across The Universe
The next line in the song is Jai Guru Deva Om.
On February 5th, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi passed away, and I guess the song had that last line in it because of his influence (the Transcendental Meditation bit) on the Beatles. So, thats why “this” was in the news lately.
