In 1968 the Beatles yet again transformed the trajectory of music and pop culture when they decided to travel to India to practice transcendental meditation at Maharishi Mahesh's ashram. Their stay in Rishikesh was a creative outpouring that culminated in an astounding 48 songs being written in 7 weeks, including many from the White Album, including beloved titles such as "Dear Prudence" and "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da."
Photographer Paul Saltzman was a young traveler that happened to be at the ashram at the same time as the Beatles (along with Donovan, Mike Love of the Beach Boys and Mia Farrow). Saltzman beautifully captured the magic of the Beatles' stay in India. His intimate and uplifting images show the Beatles composing music and at peace in the vibrancy of their surroundings and the richness of Indian culture.
The Morrison Hotel Gallery is proud to exhibit the photography of the Beatles' stay in India in association with the Indo-American Arts Council. Please join us to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Beatles in India. Paul Saltzman's fine art music photography will be available for purchase.
Special event: Steven Chen will hold a beginner's yoga class on Saturday, April 12th at noon. Steven will be teaching the class Hatha-Raja Astanga Yoga, which he learned from his Guru Dhrma Mithra. The class is on a first come, first serve basis. Maximum capacity is limited to twenty people. Please bring your own mat. Namaste.
