About this listen
In 1968, four musicians left the noise of global fame and travelled to a quiet Himalayan town.
They came to learn meditation from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at an ashram overlooking the sacred Ganges in Rishikesh.
The musicians were The Beatles.
What happened during those weeks changed modern music forever. More than 40 songs were written there, many of which later appeared on the legendary The Beatles (White Album).
Today, the abandoned meditation complex—now known as the Beatles Ashram—has become one of the most fascinating cultural pilgrimage sites in India. Hidden inside a forest by the Ganges, the ashram is filled with dome-shaped meditation huts, jungle paths, and colorful murals inspired by the Beatles' spiritual journey.
