"Paul Saltzman shares an extraordinary life experience in a new feature documentary, Meeting the Beatles in India. With new and vivid first-hand details and over 40 personal photos never-before-seen."
To a lifelong Beatles fan like me, Paul Saltzman is one of the luckiest Beatles fans who’s ever lived.
In the late 1960s, as a young adult, the future Canadian film and TV producer and director was feeling a bit adrift and decided to pack his bags for a trip to the other side of the world — specifically, to study transcendental meditation in India with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
He was hoping it would help him find some measure of fulfillment and inner peace. He didn’t count on also finding the four most famous celebrities on Earth at the time, The Beatles. They’d come to the Maharishi’s ashram in Rishikesh, India, at the same time and for the same purpose. Saltzman’s documentary includes fascinating, intimate photos from that brief period of them all studying meditation — as well as anecdotes from his time spent with The Beatles in the camp at the foot of the Ganges. Suffice it to say, this is a must-watch for Beatles fans."
