Synopsis
In February 1968 The Beatles came to Rishikesh to study transcendental Meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. During this time they wrote most of the songs that were later to become the White Album. No professional photographers were allowed inside the Ashram but the group had no objections to Saltzman freely snapping pictures during their time together. The pictures are reproduced in this lavishly designed book along with Satlzman's account of his experiences with the band.

Customer Reviews

intersting coffee table sized book
being a fan of the Beatles at having learned how to practice transcendental meditation, and having been to Rishikesh aged 9 I bought this book when I chanced upon it. Interesting read with some stunning photographs.. My only complaint was that the paper it was printed on perhaps could have been higher quality as some of the pictures are a bit grainy. I saw an exhibition of the photographs in Liverpool, and the book doesn't quite do the prints justice, but nevertheless well worth £20.
