From LSD To Enlightenment
It was 1968, and the Beatles were initially very happy and relaxed staying with the Maharishi. And all of them managed to write a number of songs, which were, of course, made the cut in numerous Beatles and their solo albums. During their visit to Dehradun and Rishikesh in India, the Beatles finally found their true “Guru.”
It was a journey from LSD to Enlightenment at the Maharishi Mahesh Yoga Ashram and the Maharishi Yogi was known as “The Beatles Guru.”
They spent their time at this ashram to seek something deeper. They chose a life that we would never have thought about them — an inner transformation and to learn natural ways to enhance their consciousness and expand it.
George Harrison, one of them that learned a lot from this trip, he even managed to learn the Indian musical string instrument, Sitar from Pandit Ravi Shankar. Amongst them, he was the only one who took the meditation lessons seriously. Everything he managed to study during their stay gave him deeper understandings about life.
Life at the ashram was simple. Every visitors had to live in stone cottages, learn meditation techniques, and had to eat veggie meals at the communal center of the ashram.
