Synopsis

In 1968, the Beatles trekked to a remote, mysterious, and beautiful part of India known as Rishikesh, or the valley of the saints. For literally thousands of years, this remote riverside valley has been a magnet for advanced yogis, mystics, and seekers of truth. In 1968, it was the absolute zenith of all of this and the pop world as well. It was here the Beatles wrote dozens of now iconic songs while meditating at the feet of the lauded spiritual master. Along with many of the world's most celebrated people, the group once again led the way as innovators in not only music, but innate spirituality as well. Fifty years later, we remember the group's bold trek and artistic accomplishment in this inspirational audio biography from Beatles author and historian Geoffrey Giuliano. The Maharishi, the Beatles, and friends tell their own story in this one-of-a-kind celebration of a magical time gone by. If you are a fan of the Beatles and love their music, you have to have this extended, in-depth look at the birth of The Beatles' White Album. In 1992 Geoffrey Giuliano was asked if he would do an exclusive interview with the Maharishi in Switzerland. The author readily agreed as the reclusive spiritual master almost never met the press and he was embarking on an ambitious program of mass meditation to try to purify vast areas of the United States. After a great deal of negotiation, the two finally got together on Christmas Eve and had a prolonged, stirring conversation that is documented here. In addition, the Maharishi was joined by the late world-class magician Doug Henning. Put together with a chronological, historical narration by Giuliano, here is your chance to go one on one with one of the greatest spiritual minds of our time. This is the complete, exhaustive, untold story of the Beatles and the Maharishi, circa 1968.

I saw the Peter Jackson’s documentary feature film, The Beatles: Get Back first. 5 stars. I loved it. Seeing it is the main reason I wanted to also read the book. Wow! This is pretty much the documentary, but without the music but with some fascinating extra essays including one by Jackson. The docum......more

The holy grail of Beatles history - finally, finally the ‘Get Back/Let it Be’ sessions at Twickenham Studios and Saville Row are being given the lavish reissue treatment - a six hour series initially available on Disney + (boo!) multi disc versions of the album, and this gorgeous coffee table book w......more

Goodreads review by Joe on December 30, 2021

I am a huge and lifelong Beatles fan in my 50s; I grew up on their music, but having seen the film, there really wasn't much left to learn so so my expectations for the book were not high. I think most of the reviews here were from readers who read the book before the Peter Jackson film was released......more

Goodreads review by Tim on October 18, 2021

For Beatles fans. As a picture book it’s superb. The print quality is wonderful and the paper stock is coffee-table-book quality. The book is a transcription of the tape recordings from January 1969 during the filming of Let it Be. It includes not only what is on film, but what was recorded when the......more
