"A riot of arresting street art now dominates the peeled-off walls of the ruins of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s Ashram in Rishikesh. Within these walls was where the Beatles searched for spirituality in the winter of 1968."
"During their transcendental meditation sessions with the Maharishi, the band achieved a creative high writing a staggering 48 songs, most of which ended up on their double album 'White Album'."
"Other notable personalities who spent time in this former ashram were the Beach Boys, Donovan, Stevie Wonder, and Mia Farrow."
"The stone meditation caves stand as silent witnesses to the silence sought by seekers decades ago, now reclaimed by the creeping vines of the jungle."
"Beyond the graffiti lies the raw beauty of the Himalayan foothills, where the air still carries the echoes of ancient chants and spiritual longings."
