We are all searching for ways to reduce stress and find peace, especially in a year as challenging as this one. Few people understand how to do that quite like Jay Shetty, a social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast On Purpose, who distills the timeless wisdom he learned as a monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life. In this special excerpt from his new book Think Like a Monk(available now from Simon & Schuster, a ViacomCBS company), Shetty shares three ways to opt out of the media mind game and create space for reflection.

As a monk, I learned early on that our values are influenced by whatever absorbs our minds. We are not our minds, but the mind is the vehicle by which we decide what is important in our hearts. The movies we watch, the music we hear, the books we read, the TV shows we binge, the people we follow online and offline. Whats on your news feed is feeding your mind. The more we are absorbed in celebrity gossip, images of success, violent video games, and troubling news, the more our values are tainted with envy, judgment, competition, and discontent.

Observing and evaluating are key to thinking like a monk, and they begin with space and stillness. For monks, the first step in filtering the noise of external influences is a material letting go. I had three stints visiting the ashram, graduated college, then officially became a monk. After a couple months of training at the Bhaktivedanta Manor, a temple in the countryside north of London, I headed to India, arriving at the village ashram in the beginning of September 2010. I exchanged my relatively stylish clothes for two robes (one to wear and one to wash). I forfeited my fairly slick haircut for . . . no hair; our heads were shaved. And I was deprived of almost all opportunities to check myself outthe ashram contained no mirrors except the one I would later be shown in the storeroom. So we monks were prevented from obsessing over our appearance, ate a simple diet that rarely varied, slept on thin mats laid on the floor, and the only music we heard was the chants and bells that punctuated our meditations and rituals. We didnt watch movies or TV shows, and we received limited news and email on shared desktop computers in a communal area.

Nothing took the place of these distractions except space, stillness, and silence. When we tune out the opinions, expectations, and obligations of the world around us, we begin to hear ourselves. In that silence I began to recognize the difference between outside noise and my own voice. I could clear away the dust of others to see my core beliefs.

I promised you I wouldnt ask you to shave your head and don robes, but how, in the modern world, can we give ourselves the space, silence, and stillness to build awareness? Most of us dont sit down and think about our values. We dont like to be alone with our own thoughts. Our inclination is to avoid silence, to try to fill our heads, to keep moving. In a series of studies, researchers from the University of Virginia and Harvard asked participants to spend just six to fifteen minutes alone in a room with no smartphone, no writing instruments, and nothing to read. The researchers then let them listen to music or use their phones. Participants not only preferred their phones and music, many of them even chose to zap themselves with an electric shock rather than be alone with their thoughts. If you go to a networking event every day and have to tell people what you do for a living, its hard to step away from that reduction of who you are. If you watch Real Housewives every night, you start to think that throwing glasses of wine in your friends faces is routine behavior. When we fill up our lives and leave ourselves no room to reflect, those distractions become our values by default.

We cant address our thoughts and explore our minds when were preoccupied. Nor does just sitting in your home teach you anything. There are three ways I suggest you actively create space for reflection. First, on a daily basis I recommend you sit down to reflect on how the day went and what emotions youre feeling. Second, once a month you can approximate the change that I found at the ashram by going someplace youve never been before to explore yourself in a different environment. This can be anything from visiting a park or library youve never been to before to taking a trip. Finally, get involved in something thats meaningful to youa hobby, a charity, a political cause.

Opting Out Of The Media Mind Game, An Excerpt From The NY Times Best-Seller Think Like A Monk By Jay Shetty - CBS Sacramento

The ancient Indian protocol for social distancing is embedded in the lines my yoga guru, from the famous ashram in Monghyr, Bihar, taught me:

"Chaar miley, chausath khiley,

Miley bees ek saath.

Harjan se harijan miley,

Bihsain bahattar hazar."

(When two plus two i.e. four eyes meet each other; 32 plus 32, 64 teeth smile together'

10 fingers of both palms, greet 10 of the other, a total of 20.

Then a person, blessed by the Lord, is in union with another without physical contact.

This results in 36,000 vital points in one human body and 36,000 in the other, sending ripples of joy through 72,000 points in the two beings.)

The current etiquette of social distancing possibly has precedent in past practice. Arrival of outsiders may well have wrenched us away. With Freudian prescience, Akbar Allahabadi put his finger on the nub of the matter:

"Tifl mein bu aaye kya ma baap ke atwar ki,

Doodh to dibbe ka hai taaleem hai Sarkar ki."

(How should an infant inherit characteristics of his/her parents on a diet of powdered milk and government education?)

The lockdown outlawed any toing and froing, conditions which Ghalib had described with great simplicity about Delhi during 1857:

"Koi vaan se na aa sake yaan tak,

Aadmi vaan na ja sake yaan ka"

(No one from there can come here;

Likewise, no one from here can go there)

This limitation on visiting each other soon began to reveal our instinctive comfort level with social separation. We were quite comfortable within the Lakshman rekhas we sketched around ourselves. More revealing were telephone conversations with neighbours, and members of the Residents Welfare Association. What they expressed was indifference to the migrants who had walked away from the suddenly imposed penury, joblessness, no roof over their heads in the torrid heat -- and now it seems, the approaching winter. Were these millions condemned by their 'karma', to be judged for suitable slots only in the next life?

When I visited South Africa to cover Mandela's release, what struck me was not the exclusive white enclaves. I had expected them. After all that is what Apartheid was all about. What astonished me was Lenasia, the Indian colony outside Johannesburg. Sprawling mansions with two swimming pools was the lot of many Indians. Unlike the joyous 'Black' South Africa, much the overwhelming majority, Lenasia was uneasy at the end of White rule. It was possible to meet Manek Patel in his bungalow who thought "apartheid helped keep bloodline pure".

Hierarchies and class are inescapable. A revolutionary like Ho Chi Minh did live in a modest, two room, oak cottage but it had the nicest view of the lake. The rare visa which enabled me to cover the 1979 China-Vietnam war was arranged by a member of the Bao Dai family, an old Vietnamese aristocracy.

The Indian hierarchy, based on caste, is unique. Unlike racism, it is not based on prejudice: it is simply a time honoured practice which draws red lines, not to be crossed, between occupation based caste groups arranged in a vertical hierarchy. Egalitarianism disrupts these red lines. The unease with the Constitution is deep seated for this reason with the present regime which harks back to a pre Islamic 'golden past'.

As we enter the seventh month of the lockdown, it may be worthwhile taking stock. My wife and I (and a live-in help) have been moderately cautious: we have entertained, keeping social distancing and never having more than four guests. Likewise, we have visited friends for meals, and taken the masks off, once seated.

My daily three kilometer walk in the park adjacent to our apartment (I take off the mask; it suffocates me) has been sacrosanct as has been my yoga. The clan in hundreds spread across north India, has so far reported no expiry. But there have been three positive cases in Lucknow including an 85-year-old with co-morbidities. They recovered within three days and three children in the same apartment remained untouched by the virus.

The bleakness that I see ahead cannot be extrapolated from our experience in the health arena. It is the economic sphere, joblessness, abysmal drop in resources, redesigned kitchen budgets, even within cousins where darkness is catching up.

A visit to South Delhi's Select City Mall was scary. Hanuman Chalisa was being chanted in the biggest food mart to invoke the monkey God. The lobby of the five star hotel was as eerie as the empty road in Hitchcock's North by Northwest, where a biplane swoops down on a terrified Cary Grant. A five star restaurant without a customer abutting a bar, stocked to the ceiling, but without a soul. Trust Ghalib to invade my mind:

"Bhare hain jis qadar jaam o subu, maikhana khali hai."

(Goblets and cups are full to the brim, but the tavern is totally empty)

How long will Indian capitalism survive such tightly sealed goblets? Corona, I suspect, will wipe out lifestyles boosted by 30 years of reform. The new middle class will revert to their first car, the Maruti and mother's vegetarian recipes.

This middle class may adjust without too much fuss to the pre reform austerities, a mood that will dovetail nicely in the march towards Hindu Rashtra. A fly in the ointment may well be mass anger. After all, those who walked, their ranks swelled by the jobless and the hungry, will ask questions. Will bread trump faith? To forestall any trouble on that count, the regime has already unfurled a range of draconian measures to put away anyone with a talent to mobilize public anger. As a backup there is also the scary virus as a deterrent against public anger bursting onto the streets. This scarecrow can be made scarier. But that might accelerate velocity of the economy's nosedive. Which economy? What better way to stop the leak than to sink the ship? Salvation shimmers over the sands as silhouettes of the Hindu Rashtra appear.

Will lockdown wipe out lifestyles built over 30 years?.. - Greatandhra.com

Mahatma Gandhi is called 'Father of Nation' and you all must know that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869 and Gandhiji's father's name was Karamchand Uttamchand Gandhi and he was an advocate. In this way, in 1906, he organized the first Satyagraha campaign against the Transvaal Asiatic Registration Act and in 1920, he joined the Indian National Congress Party and on 26 January 1930 declared India's independence from the British rule. At the same time, in 1917, he started many movements like Champaran Satyagraha, Non-cooperation movement and it was due to these movements that India got independence from the British Raj. In such a situation, today we are going to tell you about the movement launched by Gandhiji.

Champaran Satyagraha: Let us tell you that this was the first Satyagraha under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, Champaran of Bihar and reached Champaran in Bihar in 1917 in support of farmers who were forced to cultivate indigo and other cash crops instead of food grains.

Non-cooperation movement: Let us tell you that after the success of Rowlatt Satyagraha, Mahatma Gandhi started the non-cooperation movement and under this movement started on 1 August 1920, appealed to the people not to go to school, college, court to express non-cooperation against British rule and Nor pay taxes.

NamakSatyagraha: Let us tell you that this movement is also called Dandi Satyagraha and took a 24-day foot march from Sabarmati Ashram near Dandi village near Ahmedabad on 12 March 1930 against the monopoly of British rule over salt.

Dalit Movement: In 1932, Gandhiji founded the All-India Untouchability League and after this, started the anti-untouchability movement from 8 May 1933 and published a weekly paper called 'Harijan' to help the Harijan movement for 21 days. Fasted

Quit India Movement: Let us tell you that this was Gandhiji's third major movement against British rule and on 8 August 1942, in the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee gave the slogan 'British Quit India' but he was arrested soon after. At the same time, the youth activists continued the movement through strikes and sabotage.

India got independence due to these 5 movements of Mahatma Gandhi - News Track English

Whats your lock down routine like? Currently, Im just spending a lot of time with my mom and my sister. Times like these make you realise that there is nothing above the safety of the people you love. Im reading a lot. Im going through my school history books. Im trying to understand programming because computers have always been so alien to me. Im studying climate change because thats something dear to me. And Im cooking. One day my mom and sister gave me so much attitude. I wanted banana bread and I was like Ill do it myself. Im not dependent on you guys anymore. I followed the recipe and I baked banana bread and since then I have not looked back. (Laughs) Now Im Bhumi the baker. And Im working out.

Do you feel there are too many donts in your life than dos as an actor? Its been four years and eight outstanding films. And the reasonI could make this space for me is because my first film was a big dont. No one could have imagined that there could be a film about a beautiful, overweight, firecracker of a girl. l just jumped into it. I was seventeen when I joined YRF. I dont come from a film family. Everyone thought I was crazy. My family couldnt help me. I just took my chances and look -- you and I are having this conversation right now...

Its interesting that you addressed the topic of body shaming because our movies constantly play up to a stereotype of a pretty, fair, perfect body. Not just the showbiz. It involves years and years of social conditioning. Luckily, when I joined cinema, there was a movement against stereotypes. I feel happy that I could be part of the revolution and now I feel good celebrating my flaws on celluloid. It has made me a confident person. Now I dont care if Im a couple of kgs heavier. There was a phase when I was shooting for Sonchiriya and people were like, Oh my God, you look so thin, you look sick. I was like its my choice, Ill do what is right for my character.

Lets talk of two roles you did last year, which shattered stereotypes - Sonchiriya and Saand Ki Aankh

My selfish motive of doing a film is personal growth as an actor, a great opportunity that is going to showcase another side of my talent, the greed to work in a good story and with good directors. And then comes all the other social fringes that are attached to that. Yes, I am a proud feminist and Im trying to use my craft to bring about change. Ill start off with Sonchiriya. I am a huge Abhishek Chaubey fan. I have loved all his films especially Ishqiya and Udta Punjab. He called me right after Shubh Mangal Saavdhan. That year was so amazing. I got calls from Zoya (Akhtar), Karan (Johar), Abhishek (Chaubey ) and I was like wow, thank God. I met him and he gave me a story narration. I was like I have to do this. I had a few questions like at my age, do I want to play a mother to a fifteen year old? Everybody was like why go to small-town India again? But I knew in a film like this and with a director like Abhishek Chaubey, he was going to keep at it till I sparkled. It was a different world and what my character did, what she stood for, the kind of courage she had, I was blown away by her. And she barely speaks in the film. It was a challenge and he did tell me that it was going to be tough both emotionally and physically. Sonchiriya changed my life.

It changed you how? I met this girl Khushi, who plays Sonchiriya. She is like a younger sister, a daughter to me. She comes on all my film sets. Ive been so fortunate that through her I made a family of 250-300 children in the ashram from where we cast her in Morena in Chambal. Those children have become part of my life. And that switch from being a self-centered person to somebody who actually cares about others happened because of that girl. I am a young woman, right? How did I develop such strong maternal instincts for someone? But that girl transformed me. She started living with me and brought such happiness in my life. I love her. I speak to these children every Sunday through a whatsapp video call. The experience that Khushi had while shooting for Sonchiriya has changed her life as well.

Tell us something about your prep work for the role.

Was it a surreal moment for you holding the Filmfare trophy for Saand Ki Aankh? You heard the three minute speech that I gave. I was so overwhelmed. It was special also because I dont think Ill ever be part of a film like Saand Ki Aankh again, where I feel so happy sharing the stage with my sister-in-arms. You know that notion that two actors cant be friends is all bullshit because for a film like Saand Ki Aankh it would have felt incomplete without Taapsee. A lot of people asked me why do you want to play an old woman on screen? Are you crazy? This is the peak of your career. When I do a film like Saand Ki Aankh, it comes at a cost. Me saying no to many other bigger films.

Do you regret saying no to any film? I get a mix bag of offers. I had a big-ticket film as well. But when I chose to do a film like Saand Ki Aankh, its, as I said earlier, for purely selfish reasons, for my personal growth. And what Ive achieved from Saand Ki Aankh, even a big-ticket film couldnt have done for me. I want to leave behind a legacy of good cinema and I know Saand Ki Aankh is part of that list. I know Sonchiriya is part of that list. Yes they didnt make hundred crores. But i could never own a hundred-crore film, like I own these films. It comes with a cost but its ok.

Any of your colleagues roles that youve seen recently that you wished youd done. Definitely Gully Boy and Im not going to say Alias part. Im going to say all of them from Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Siddhant Chaturvedi to Vijay Verma -- all of them. That film is outstanding! I loved Kapoor & Sons. Im not going to pick one specific performance because I envy all good performers. I watched Thappad yesterday, all of them have done fantastic jobs. And I loved what Ayushmann did in Article 15. I would love to do a film like Article 15.

Jodhpur: Religious leader Asaram being taken to be produced in a Jodhpur court on February 13, 2015. | IANS

Publishing house HarperCollins on Wednesday said the Delhi High Courts decision to allow the publication of a book on religious leader Asarams conviction and arrest in a rape case was a victory for free speech. This book is an honest account of the evil that men do in the name of religion, said Diya Kar, a publisher at HarperCollins

The book, titled Gunning for the Godman: The True Story Behind Asaram Bapus Conviction, was scheduled to be published by HarperCollins on September 5. It is a first-hand account of the religious leaders arrest and conviction by police officer Ajay Lamba, along with writer Sanjeev Mathur. Asaram is currently serving a life term in Jodhpur in Rajasthan. An excerpt from the book was also published by Scroll.in.

A district court had blocked the books publication after a civil suit was filed by Sanchita Gupta, an associate of Asaram who was convicted under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences in 2018 in the case related to the rape of a 16-year-old girl.

On September 22, the Delhi High Court had set aside the district courts stay on the book. Justice Najmi Waziri noted that the book is based on facts available in the public domain. He added that discussions based on solid facts are protected under the freedom of speech and expression.

Divya Kar said the injunction was an attempt to suppress the truth. We fought for our right to publish, Kar added. In the end, truth prevails.

The publishing house added that the book will immediately be available for sale on all e-commerce platforms and in physical retail stores.

Sanchita Gupta had argued that the book was defamatory and would influence her appeal pending against the conviction in the Rajasthan High Court.

During the hearing on September 22, the Delhi High Court noted that Gupta had moved the district court against the book just a day before its scheduled publication. HarperCollins, meanwhile, said it had announced the books launch back in July.

The judge then directed the publisher to sell the book with a disclaimer that it is based on the judgment of a trial court, which is under appeal.

In 2013, two sisters from Surat had filed separate complaints against Asaram and his son Narayan Sai, accusing them of rape and illegal confinement. In April 2019, a local court in Surat sentenced Narayan Sai to life imprisonment after the younger sister accused him of repeatedly raping her between 2002 and 2005 when she was living at his ashram.

In April 2018, Asaram was convicted in a separate rape case in Jodhpur in Rajasthan, where he is currently serving a life term awarded by the court. The case against him in Rajasthan was filed after a 16-year-old accused him of raping her in 2013.

Coronavirus in Mumbai: Latest list of COVID-19 containment zones from Colaba in SoBo to Borivali in West and Mulund in East issued by BMC - Free Press...

There is a statue in this staggering show of the tantric god Bhairava, famous for his rages. Wild hair flows in rivulets from his carved granite face and his smile is alarmingly fanged. One of his four hands holds a noose, and another now missing used to brandish the skull of the creator god Brahma, which he had lopped off in a fury. Bhairava liked to use this skull as a begging bowl.

Now Bhairava is just as much a Hindu god as the divine Brahma. The difference is that hes a radical arriviste, a new god who may be summoned via devotion to the Tantras, those written instructions dating back to 500AD which explain how these new deities may be invoked through ritual yoga and visualisation. According to the ancient Tantras on display, inscribed with spectacular graphic force on palm leaves, if you follow the rituals diligently enough you will acquire all sorts of special powers, including the ability to fly.

One of Bhairavas earliest followers was a closet poet who gave up being a housewife to follow him. She wanted to be rid of conventional obedience and beauty and become equally anarchic. And so she appears in numerous bronze statues: naked, ascetic and vigorously intelligent; the first of the tantra saints.

Tantra, which is somewhere between philosophy and belief, argues that women can personify divinity, and that female sexuality holds sacred powers. Womens needs must therefore be honoured. There are many images at the British Museum in which women are receiving every kind of sexual satisfaction, including an exquisite painting of two apparently aristocratic lovers he wears earrings and four strings of pearls, she sits in his gilded lap, awaiting his sperm at some forthcoming hour. But Tantric deferral, as proselytised by Sting and Trudie Styler, is not supposed to lead to pleasure so much as enlightenment (what else?).

A text superbly written by the shows curator, Imma Ramos makes this strict point. But there is a lively cognitive dissonance here for the viewer; and so it continues. A hulking great statue of the Hindu maternal god Parvati shows her wearing human bones as jewellery; and her counterpart, Kali, can be a thundering grotesque with bulging eyes, garlanded with her enemies skulls and treading heavily on the naked body of her lover. Little red corpses are deftly threaded through her lobes for statement earrings.

This is the British Museums first new show since reopening, and it never ceases to startle. This is an art of shock and awe, of violence, bloodshed and ecstatic laughter.

A couple of hundred goddesses, wasp-waisted, bosomy and tremendously sinuous, strike the wildest of poses, often beaming with humorous glee. You think youre looking at some lissome yoga stance, light-footed, balletically reaching like Warrior 1 or 2, and it turns out to be another goddess stamping her enemy to death. This is body art like nothing in the west.

The shows subject is so nebulous (and so disputed) that any visitor might be forgiven for reading their way round the walls as much as looking, struggling to comprehend the shapeshifting gods and radical philosophy as it weaves (literally the meaning of the word tantra) between Buddhism and Hinduism, associating itself with Indian independence, feminism and 60s counterculture.

A one-minute film of chakras, holy men, veils and whirling statues, co-produced by Mick Jagger in 1968, mesmerises at the entrance, even without its soundtrack (which can be heard outside). Perhaps the Stones understood it all better than the Beatles in their ashram, for the inside sleeve of Sticky Fingers, which I always assumed to be Jaggers logo mouth, in fact shows Kalis lasciviously lolling tongue.

A glum-looking yogi sits cross-legged, trying to drum up tantric visions. He is painted top to toe with chakras, flowers, snakes heads and even a caricature turtle. But nothing indicates any kind of success. Whereas another watercolour, exquisite as an Elizabethan miniature and from exactly the same period, shows an aristocratic woman giving it all up to listen to a couple of female tantric divines in a garden, the blossoms glowing by twilight. And in another, a yogini carries a delicate peacock fan through a fading landscape with absolute serenity: a beautiful example for the Mughal court.

In tantra, wisdom and compassion are embodied as a god and goddess. You cannot have one without the other, so they must be united. Hence the many couplings described in this show, from sedate emblems to undulating, many-limbed statues. Tantra was an antidote to the religious orthodoxies of the past, in which womens bodies were an obstruction to enlightenment. Now they become temples to the spirituality that flows through the universe. Though it is no surprise to learn that tantra does not have much contemporary reach in Indian communities where girls are violently raped and murdered.

But this radicalism has its expression, too, in the colossal blades both real and depicted at the British Museum to be used by some powerful Kali. And even more devastating are the chilling aprons made from human bones; intricate chains of beads and chakras carved out of the bones found in charnel houses. Nothing, alas, in either the catalogue or the wall texts could quite explain for me the breaking of that mortal taboo.

But it certainly has something to do with fear, or the exorcising of fear; and that goes to the heart of tantra art. All the images you see here, from elaborate temple reliefs to scratched drawings, diaphanous watercolours to colossal stone figures, involve some kind of emotional encounter. And most unforgettable of all is a painting of a tantric cemetery.

Bhairavi (Bhairavas female counterpart) sits cross-legged on a corpse, its head violently torn off, skulls nestling in her lap. Shiva is her devotee, blue with ash and paying careful attention among the charred flesh, skeletal remains and burning pyres, their smoke spiralling skywards. The goddess, blood-red and horned, looks like some Bollywood version of Halloween. But even as we learn that images of compassion and wisdom in full coitus arent intended to arouse, so I believe the opposite is true in this case. The image is exemplary. You must enter that scene in your frightened mind, face the future and conquer your fear.

Tantra: From Enlightenment to Revolution review shock and awe - The Guardian

We were there four monthsor George and I were. We lost thirteen pounds and (barely) looked a day older, John Lennon told a BBC reporter while promoting the Beatles new business venture, Apple Records, of The Fab Fours 1968 visit to India to study with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I dont know what level hes on, but we had a nice holiday in India and came back rested-to-play businessmen.

Hes on the level, Paul McCartney, ever the diplomat, chimed in.

Fifty-two years ago, in the spring of 1968, the Beatles traveled to Rishikesh, India, to study with Maharishi, after meeting the ambassador of Transcendental Meditation in the summer of 1967. Its an oft-discussed but little understood period in the bands history, and came at a time when the Beatles were both at the top of the mountain creatively and culturally, but had also just come out of the rockiest period theyd ever experienced since exploding into the worlds collective consciousness earlier that decade.

While Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and the singles Penny Lane / Strawberry Fields Forever and All You Need Is Lovealso part of the first global satellite broadcasthad broken sales records around the world and ushered in a massive change to the pop-music landscape, the Beatles television film Magical Mystery Tour had been met with derision, and their manager, Brian Epstein, had died of a drug overdose at the shockingly young age of 32.

I knew that we were in trouble then, John Lennon said, reflecting on the period to Rolling Stones Jann Wenner in 1970. I didnt really have any misconceptions about our ability to do anything other than play music. I was scared. I thought, Weve fuckin had it.

And so, at the urging of George Harrison, already a disciple of sitar master Ravi Shankar and seeking a spiritual path beyond the doses of LSD he was poppingand Lennon was reportedly taking dailythe Beatles were off to India.

We had all the material things, fame and all that, but there was still something needed, you see, Harrison told the Saturday Evening Post at the time. It cant be one hundred percent without the inner life, can it?

They had everything they could ever want, but theyd realized that wasnt the answer to anything, recalls Jenny Boyd, a model at the time, and the sister of Pattie Boyd, George Harrisons then-wife, who traveled with the entourage as part of their pilgrimage to India. It was all very exciting because I thought, Oh, gosh, this is what I want. I want to be able to have something that feels meaningful. Everyone else was quite excited, too.

Still, Boyd had her concerns about Maharishi.

When wed gone to study with him the previous summerwhen Brian diedI remember walking in the lecture hall and there were the four Beatles up there on the stage with him, Boyd says. It seemed a little bit like they were the goose that had laid the golden egg. So I was never sure about Maharishi. If someone calls themselves a holy man, you want to feel some connection, but I didnt feel any connection.

The visit to Rishikesh is the subject of a new film, Meeting The Beatles In India, from director Paul Saltzman, which opens via the Gathr online platform on Sept. 9. Saltzman, who through a series of what can only be viewed as synchronistic events, ended up the only outsider at Maharishis compound during the Beatles stay there.

I ended up there because I was heartbroken, Saltzman, who at 24 was a successful Canadian TV actor at the time, remembers. Seeking enlightenment, hed joined a documentary film crew as its soundman, before ending up at the gates of Maharishis ashram after receiving a Dear John letter from his then-girlfriend. Initially denied entry on account of the famous guests in attendance, Saltzman persisted, sleeping in an Army tent on the outskirts of the ashram. I was looking for a way to ease the pain. I didnt know and didnt care that the Beatles were there.

Eventually allowed in and taught meditation, though still relegated to the Army tent, Saltzman was also quickly accepted into the group of people studying with Maharishi, which just so happened to include John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Saltzman was soon at ease enough to ask each of the Beatles if they minded if he took some photos. They obliged, and Saltzmans photos chronicling his time at the ashram by the banks of the Gangeswhich were packed away and forgotten for many yearsare remarkable; as intimate and relaxed as any of the Beatles, some of the most photographed people in the world, then or now.

My daughter had become a Beatles fan and asked me to find them, Saltzman recalls. It was the beginning of a journey that ended in the making of this film.

George did admit that there was a lot of drugs and that it was not appropriate for the ashram atmosphere. But they were also very creative, and they wrote lots of songs whilst they were there.

Youd get a knock on the door, early, and thered be Mango man, as we called him, with a lovely glass of fresh mango juice, Boyd, who appears in Meeting The Beatles In India, recalls of her nearly three months in Rishikesh. Then Id hook up with Pattie and walk down to the breakfast table, then head back to my bungalow to meditate. After that, wed go up on the roof and listen to John and Paul and George playing, and then have henna put on our hands, or learn how to put on a sari, or sometimes Pattie and I would go down to the Ganges and just sort of dip our toes in there. Once Pattie and I went across the Ganges in a little boat and went to look at the village of Rishikesh. So wed do little things like that, and it just became a way of life. But mainly there was a lot of meditation. And wed have our meetings with Maharishi, sitting outside. By that time I wasnt hung up by not being sure about him, because the meditation was amazing and Id proved it to myself how amazing it made me feel.

I would see them doing those things, and I would just be hanging out at a table by the cliff, recalls Saltzman, who was at the ashram for eight days, and says the broken heart he was nursing was lifted the first time he meditated. Id do some meditation, I would read, I would write, I would meditate some more. And I was in heaven that I wasnt in agony anymore.

Of course it wasnt all meditation and vegetarian meals for the most famous men on the planet.

Apparently, there was a lot of experimentation with drugs and Maharishi was not happy about that, Deepak Chopra, a close friend of George Harrisons, recalls the former Beatle telling him of his time studying with Maharishi. George did admit that there was a lot of drugs and that it was not appropriate for the ashram atmosphere. But they were also very creative, and they wrote lots of songs whilst they were there.

Indeed, the Beatles were incredibly prolific while in Rishikesh. Though accounts vary, Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison wrote in the neighborhood of 30 songs while there, many of which made up the bands holiday release that year, their fabled self-titled LP known as the White Album.

They could just be themselves, and that was very rare, Boyd, who has written extensively about creativity and is sure the atmosphere sparked the Beatles creative juices, recalls. Even though wed go to nightclubs all together that were filled with musicians back in London, and it was very cool, and nobody coming to ask for autographs or anything, they were still the Beatles. They couldnt help but be affected by being in that fishbowl. But this was very different. It was the first time that they could just relax and be all together, because it was like living in a commune, in a way. There was no press; there was no pressure. They just had each other and their creativity, and of course, the inspiring surroundings. They could let whatever came out come out. All their inspiration just seemed to come from whatever was going on.

I know that once I began meditating, things started expanding in my awareness, and I started having epiphanies and creative insights that havent stopped for a single day, and George told me they all found it very useful and they found it very helpful to their music, Chopra, who began meditating while a medical resident in 1980, adds. With George, although he was of course supremely musical, Im sure a lot of that focus came from meditation. I lived with him for a while at his home outside of London, and every time you spoke to George, by the time you finished speaking to him, in his head, he had a song. That was so amazing to me.

Every time you spoke to George, by the time you finished speaking to him, in his head, he had a song. That was so amazing to me.

Ultimately, as Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn recounts in the film, the Beatles fell out with Maharishi. But whatever John Lennon said in the years after the Beatles trip to India, the trouble appeared to begin after Magic Alex Mardas, an intimate of the Beatles, showed up in India.

Magic Alex came over and I knew he was up to no good, Boyd recalls. He had come to visit me the night before we went to India, and John and Cynthia were there. He was still trying to get John to go to his guru instead. So there was a real jealousy there, because he thought he was Johns friend, and didnt want anyone in his way. So when he arrived, I thought, Uh-oh, hes here to make trouble. I just had this feeling. Id see him walking around the ashram hand in hand with this woman, and I could sense there was something being cooked up. Then he told John that the woman had said that Maharishi had tried something on her, and that Mia Farrow had said the same thing. So John went to George, and they both went to go and see Maharishi.

Lennon confronted Maharishi. 'Therewas a hullabalooabouthim tryingtorape Miaand afew other women. Thewhole gang charged down tohis hutand Isaid: We're leaving! Lennon later recounted to Rolling Stone.

But why? Maharishi pleaded.

Well, if youre so cosmic youll know why, Lennon shot back.

The next morning, George woke me up and said, Cmon, you and me and Pattie are going to south India to join Ravi Shankar, Boyd recalls. By then, I was so ensconced, it was really sad as we all walked past. There was Maharishi, he had been called, told that his prize troupe were leaving, he was sitting down and one of his people was holding an umbrella over his head, and he kept saying, Boys, boys, why are you leaving? It felt awful. I just thought, Nobodys told him? I felt that wed betrayed him.

In true Lennon fashion, he also immortalized the souring of the relationship in song.

Maharishi, what have you done, youve made a fool of everyone, Lennon wrote in the original lyrics to Sexy Sadie, a song he came up with while waiting for the car that whisked him, his wife Cynthia, George Harrison, and Pattie and Jenny Boyd from the Maharishis ashram. It was only after Harrison suggested changing the title that Lennon softened the blow to the now familiar refrain of the song.

I titled it Sexy Sadie, Harrison recalled to Entertainment Weekly in 1987. I dont know what John would say about that, but he was sitting there and I was saying, Well, John, wouldnt it be more subtle to call it, say, something like Sexy Sadie? Its a bit obviousMaharishi. The words, that was Johns concept of what happened to him. But even John was wrong some of the time.

We went to visit Maharishi in an ashram, and the first thing that George didafter offering him a rose as a greeting for him to bless and then give it back to us at the endwas to say, Ive come here to apologize on behalf of the Beatles, recalls Chopra. Maharishi asked, Why did you come to apologize? George said, Because of what happened in 1968. You know, John said some unfortunate things about you. I dont even know what it was, but it was something salacious, apparently, and it created a bit of a scandal. And Maharishi laughed it off. He said, Theres nothing to apologize for. The Beatles are angels on earth. Because of the Beatles, the world will change. Their music will change the world and it will cause a big shift in collective consciousness. Theres never any need to apologize. And George was very emotionally moved, and he slept in the ashram that night.

Ultimately, the Beatles were never again the four men, united against the world, that they had been before their visit to Rishikesh. From 1968 onward they were on parallel paths, and Paul Saltzman, whose journey led him from meeting the Beatles in India and, ultimately, to making a film about the experience, has some insight into why.

When you delve into your inner selfwith a capital Swhich most people avoid and run away from, and when you touch into your heart and soul, which was what was happening at the ashram, youre dealing with, in a sense, your best self, Saltzman says. Youre feeding your best self really well, youre resting well, youre touching into your inner self, heart, and soul through meditation. And I think you come back from that changed. And so I think India changed the Beatlesforever.
