The hidden meanings of the Beatles' most esoteric lyrics and sounds
are revealed by a rare insider who spent two decades with the man
who made "meditation," "mantra," and "yoga" household words:
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. "I absolutely love this book. Between the
stories and the pictures, many I've not seen before, this is truly
a spiritual journey." -Chris O'Dell, author of Miss O'Dell, My Hard
Days and Long Nights with The Beatles, The Stones, Bob Dylan, and
the Women They Loved The spiritual journey of the Beatles is the
story of an entire generation of visionaries in the sixties who
transformed the world. The Beatles turned Western culture upside
down and brought Indian philosophy to the West more effectively
than any guru. The Inner Light illumines hidden meanings of the
Beatles' India-influenced lyrics and sounds, decoded by Susan
Shumsky-a rare insider who spent two decades in the ashrams and six
years on the personal staff of the Beatles' mentor, Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi. "With clarity, depth, and impeccable research, an
exceptionally comprehensive book filled with engaging tales and
fresh insights that even diehard Beatles fans will find
illuminating." -Philip Goldberg, author of American Veda: From
Emerson and The Beatles to Yoga and Meditation, How Indian
Spirituality Changed the West This eye-opening book draws back the
curtain on the Beatles' experiments with psychedelics, meditation,
chanting, and Indian music. Among many shocking revelations never
before revealed, we discover who invented "raga rock" (not the
Beatles), the real identity of rare Indian instruements and
musicians on their tracks, which Beatle was the best meditator (not
George), why the Beatles left India in a huff, John and George's
attempts to return, Maharishi's accurate prediction, and who Sexy
Sadie, Jojo, Bungalow Bill, Dear Prudence, Blackbird, My Sweet
Lord, Hare Krishna, and the Fool on the Hill really were. "This
book reminds us in illuminating fashion why Susan is the premier
thinker about India's key influence upon the direction of the
Beatles' art. In vivid and stirring detail, she traces the Fabs'
spiritual awakening from Bangor to Rishikesh and beyond." -Kenneth
Womack, author of John Lennon 1980: The Last Days in the Life Half
a century later, the Beatles have sold more records than any other
recording artist. A new generation wants to relive the magic of the
flower-power era and is now discovering the message of this iconic
band and its four superstars. For people of all nations and ages,
the Beatles' mystique lives on. The Inner Light is Susan Shumsky's
gift to their legacy.
