Fifty years ago in 1968, the Beatles traveled to Rishikesh to visit Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The trip led to an intensely productive period for the band and also impacted Western attitudes towards Indian spirituality. This was India’s first big splash in the Western psyche with East meeting West at a time of vast social and political tumult across the world. A fascinating session that explores the magic and mystery of the Beatles in India, with writer, journalist and Beatles biographer Philip Norman and journalist Ajoy Bose, who is researching the Beatles years' in India.
