==============================================
Background music: Ravi Shankar - Raga Jog - เพลง
you can just tell george is loving it
That is why he died in Beverly Hills, California, USA. They had good indian restaurants in Beverly Hills.
@@leonardoiglesias2394 😂 lol...I didn't wanna laugh..but I couldn't help it... 😆 Lol..smh..
If anybody doesn't know the fact , this place Rishikesh became so popular throughout the world after the Beatles visited , that international tourists rushed to it. Now it became Yoga Capital of the world. That's legacy of The Beatles and especially George. Just one visit changed the entire town❤️
I was there when he died
- the whole river Ganges was lined at dusk with people everywhere doing puja- it was phenomenal
@@rainbowtrout75 Ruby if you were there you should remember Jane and Marine
I'll be if you were there you must remember Jane and Maureen
Jane and Maureen why were they there with the Beatles who were they
God I love this it's beautiful. I'm so happy George stook with it. So Spiritual.
Fun fact: Most of the people in the comments section think that India is still the same as in this video
@vunderground1 just read some of the other comments. People are straight up saying they hate it and its dump
Dude u can't be more correct!
I mean this was in 1968 and 2020 India hardly relates to it. It has changed for better in most aspects and for worst in few. But I can assure you all it's nowhere like shown in this video anymore.
It can't be...
That's 52 years ago
Why not let us decide for ourselves
So is it still a shithole?
There never been a Rock& Roll band this famous. The Beatles were treated like royalty from another planet.
The greatness/the synergism of the [amalgam] of those 4 atma is because the come ("fell") from a higher [musical] planet.
Music/harmonics is mathematical; the "language" of the higher planets, and of the Spiritual Universe/spiritual E, are numbers.
The Beatles are Rolayty
@@anilprasad4185 u know a lot about synergy. Esp. the supernatural stuff, i wonder how....
@dekman99 I agree mate. I've said something similar once about the Beatles, then some manic bloke...lol..says" oh please, led Zeppelin were a better band, made more money and even had their own areoplane lol..I'm like"wow, thanks for mentioning that" 🙄 can you imagine lol.. The led Zeppelin sycophants will defend Zeppelin to the death, saying they were a better band than the Beatles, the stones pink Floyd😅
George was so handsome here. John and Cynthia were done and Soon Paul and Jane 💔
They look happy and relaxed being away from all those madness and maniac crowd, no body chased them, no one screamed for autographs, no photographers, just calm and Beautiful nature..
What do you mean no photographers? That’s the only reason we have footage of them there. Looks like Reuters, Associated Press, and NBC had people there covering them
@@strangebrew1231 most of there footages were recorded by their own people. There were only few photographers from the press. And they left them after couple of days.
George was looking SERIOUSLY attractive during that period. Enough to convert me to Eastern Mysticism.
Because of George, my brother started practicing.. and playing the sitar. Then I started yoga..
Thanks George

@macaco mack "Because I'm a Woman" and all that crap.
This era is his best 'look'
Beautiful
good job he didn't get into satanism or become a Nazi then!!
John looked so badass in this period of the Beatles.
He was growing out his hair lol
And bored
john was always so badass, he was the rocker in the group and the one with the attitude that is why he is my favourite beatle.
This was when the relationship between him and Yoko took off. Without Cynthia knowing, he was sending Western Union messages back and forth to Yoko on a regular basis.
@@illmatic9096 he was usually tripping! In the Penny Lane video check him out! I got a flashback watching him! This video is making me want curry really bad!
They were the biggest stars at that time, wish i was born in that era
60's & 70's best time ever !
you are born in luckiest era possible because now we got internet we can listen to any songs of beatles or elton or queen or elvis by just clicking or tapping on them. you and me are lucky to born in this era
@@mrimmortal4905 watching them on a screen is one thing and watching them live in a stadium full of fans screaming is other thing. Nowadays people just go to concerts to record the whole thing on their cellphones and post em on social media.
[sigh]
@@mrimmortal4905 Yeah it's the only positive thing
@@murieltainter5936 if you were white
Everytime the camera pans Ringo...it is as if you can see what he is thinking..."What the hell am I doing here?" Lol.
Mood 😆
I think he did that throughout his whole Beatle experience. How did I get hooked up with this crowd?
And Maureen is "Ritchie, can we go home".
Ringo probably had diarrhea the whole time 😂.
I was there yesterday 😊 believe me this place has a magical aura inside it. You feel something special when you're there a true divine like feeling. I was happy and clicked many pictures with all arts there. This place has crazy vibes everyone must visit once.
I felt same bro..
This is true but the fact that it costs 600rupees for a foreigner to enter is ridiculous!
@@rosannaraven9009 It's now been put up to 1200. I will never pay that for some ruins
I was getting crazy vibes and aura, and then I realized I was standing under high power overhead transmission lines. Groovy, huh?
6:01 Paul demonstrating his idea for a name for his next band.
Wings haha 😂
message to all: get to the mountains, find people like yourself, live a great life...period
How to afford ..otherwise ..oh yes ..am hurry to go ☮️💥
Fun Fact: this is the last known footage of john and cynthia as a couple
George was the gentle true spirit of enlightenment of the Beatles.
“Suitcase Full of Canned Beans” was the tentative name of the next Beatles’ album after this trip to India.
Well, I suppose that's why their White Album was fucking UNTITLED! 😂
Ringo's digestive probs🥵
I practice TM because of The Beatles.
TM is a life changing technique. The deep rest is incredible.
Thank you, George, John, Paul, Ringo and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Thank you so much ⚘️ 💓 💗 I am TM teacher from Russia 🇷🇺 Siberia
Great- this period opened up the West to serious undertaking of self realization.
I do TM everyday and will for the rest of my life, im 20 and George is the big, big reason for this RIP GEORGE
George chanted Hare Krishna for the rest of his life which is much higher. You should look into his devotion to Lord Krishna. 🙏
It is said that George Harrison was the only one who was serious about this journey of enlightenment. I think it was great the others didn't take it seriously, as this was basically a holiday and free space to write songs. Paul and John really wrote some great songs when they were there.
Paul and John were very much into it too, though John later lost interest.
@@justahumanbeing.709 yeah John liked it until he saw yogi just did it to get women, and John wrote sexy Sadie about him. Cool aye
@@AdrianTheGit well some say that Magic Alex guy made that up to get them away from Maharishi, who knows.
"I'm here for George" John Lennon. Ringo left after his beans ranout.
You cant take nothing seriously about the love for India at that time. It is a fake India, take only the nice exotic bits, try to ignore the shit on the sidewalks, the corpses swimming on the Ganges, the untouchables, the terrible but terrible poverty, the horrible women discrimination….come on…dream if you want…but please dont do as if your dreams about India have anything to do with real India. It is like the west in Hollywood movies.
i still find it hilarious that ringo's main reason for leaving the trip was that he ran out of heinz baked beans 🤣🤣
you just got to love ringo its just him
Not funny cuz he suffered from intestinal ailments since childhood.
There has never been anything that equaled the thrill of witnessing the Beatles' career as it happened. The excitement that there was every time the Beatles came out with a new album will never be matched by anyone else.
Seeing The Beatles & INDIA in 60-70's is just awesome☺
The Beatles were adapting so well and Maharishi is lovingly accepting of them the same. Thank you for posting this.
Sorry maharishi was a mafioso. A fake guru. Beatles knew that.
@@leonardoiglesias2394 Just for the Record. Alexis Mardas was a spook. A liar. An evil minded drunk. Sent in to undermine the wholesome relationship the Beatles had with the Maharishi. Fact. Magic Alex is connected too the misleading Masonic Golden dawn occult outfit. There is even a book about this dodgey lot by an Israel Regardie. Brian Epstein dies and control over the Beatles was lost so Magic Alex is sent in by the Evil minded lot to undermine the Beatles wholesome much needed break from the greedy parasitic ones. The Earth cannot sustain all the sins of the fathers who have chosen not to cross over on dying. So many Dead parasiting off the living, hungering after a body to parasite off. Hungry for a host. To many parasites always kills the host. Earth is the host. These shadows of former living souls have to be eradicated. Cleansed from the Earth. We need to light it up with knowledge and truth, evaporate them. Wake up all you decieved. Once again the Smaug minded have initiated a War to gain Gold. Russian Gold. Drugs and Gold and culling off You and me good people. That is why the dark minded generate the wars and do the evil they do. Never enough Earthly wealth for these sick minded ones.
@@leonardoiglesias2394 sexy sadie
@@leonardoiglesias2394 nah mate they were just bored and spread these rumours if he was bad then why George completed his time there and why they deny those rumours and he never claimed to be a guru he was disciple who was spreading the word of his guru
John and George were on another level mystically
I live near Rishikesh(Dehradun).
Sacred land
Have you ever visited the Beatles site in Rishikesh?
@@eliodue Yes, once. Unfortunately it was closed at that time(post 5pm). Since then I was unable to visit.
@@ashishpanwar909 Thanks for the quick reply. I hope, when it will be possible to travel again, to come from Italy and visit that famous Beatles site.
@@eliodue When the situation improves. Btw tourism is opened domestically in India.
I like the classical Indian music at the beginning.
Thank you for posting this archival footage. Also we are so blessed that Paul and Ringo are still here to recall these times!
Jenny Boyd, Pattie's younger sister was there too. I 'm reading a book right now actually called, "Jennifer Juniper" and Jenny writes in the book about her time in India with the Beatles and the Maharishi.
Very interesting book!
Wouldn't be too surprised if George had her too.
..Patti also wrote about it in her Wonderful Tonight book.
Poor Cynthia, she don't know that a japanese dragon is overshaded her marriage.🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
😂🤣👍
Wow ... a German racist being racist. How 1939.
Why is there a German flag at the end of your sentence?? xD
In a way it's true. Poor Cynthia thought this retreat would be a good time for them to spend time together and strengthen their strained relationship. She didn't know it was to be the death knell of their relationship. While there, every day John would secretly walk to the nearest town to send telegrams, letters and to receive letters, messages from Yoko. It was after this trip when John sent Cynthia away on a holiday that he began his relationship with Yoko. And Cynthia caught them red handed: Yoko was wearing Cynthia's robe! What a way to break your wife's heart...
LMAOOO
16:24 She Loves You but only johns voice. Unbelievable. The mighty John Lennon.
Could be a recording from his mic😅😅
India was undoubtedly the fruitful soil for lots of inspirational moments. "Love you to", "Tomorrow Never Knows", "The Inner Light", "Dear Prudence"... and then all he lyrics and songs they did as soloists, meaningful lyrics. All Masterpieces, all of them. Spiritual Knowledge and Spirituality is there in the boys and in their songs. And in their lives. Lennon said about "Within You Without You": "One of George's best songs. One of my favorites of his, too. He's clear on that song. His mind and music are clear. There is his innate talent; he brought that sound together." I love watching them in India. JGD. Namaste. (By the way, it's "Reuters", the British news agency.)
You forgot to mention Maharishi raped one of Beatles wife and asked 50% of their income as charity. He was a fraud 😂
Everybody looks so happy when they sing together:)
welcome India 🙏🇮🇳🕉️
I visited the ashram in 2019, sat on the roof where they all sat and wrote songs
I was at very place a month ago. I was so blessed.
Place name ?
Maharishi Yogi Ashram in Rishikesh India!!!!
The Ashram is in ruins who blessed hahhahah
U might have just got scammed
I mean, when it will be possible to travel again, to visit the Maharishi Yogi Ashram in Rishikesh. It's a long way from Italy but I want to see that palce.
wonderful !! thanks for sharing
Wonderful to see! Thank you!
This is amazing footage. But it was this trip that began the break up of the Beatles.
I agree. ✌🏾 the beginning of the end.
foxbasealpha no he didn’t. Brian died in 1967 when they were away in some retreat in Wales. This footage is from 1968 in India
Wrong, it was the Monday before this trip.
I've asked one of the 4089 Beatle biographers and he/she/they state it's a fact.
@@foxbasealpha wrong!
@@ColtraneTaylor Brian died the end of August 1967 and they went to India in February 1968.
I dont think I ever saw the Beatles look sexier then in this video.
Specially George...
Yeah, George was propably only one who was seriously envolved.
And yet both Paul and Ringo still endorse TM and apparently still use their mantra.. So this common understanding is actually not quite correct.
That's true!!! George loved that kind of nature, simple life. He was not a material guy and he really was a spiritualized ONE. A very nice soul!
@@bodhiheeren true, John was also very into it briefly.
@@justahumanbeing.709 interestingly, John had both sons learn TM.
@@sharynloshakoff5404 oh didn't know that. i thought he was over it after this trip.
I love it great footage it's stepping back in time
Muitos fizeram essa viagem por causa dos Beatles.
Thank God John and Paul brought their acoustic guitars with them.
I could listen to the soundtrack in this video all day
have you got nothing better to do
From rockers to hippies. What a strange period. This period led to their very strange White Album. Lennon said they were coming out of the psychedelics on that album. So much going on at that time so fast. This is a very interesting documentary. I've seen very little of the Beatles in India.
This is way way better than the officially released movie 'The Beatles In India' from a few years back. That movie sucked like I knew it would. This is the real deal.
Himalaya - I want to settle here when I get old to live the rest of my life peacefully.
Why wait till old age.
Who is this I
Enquire who this I is within yourself to your inner Voice
Os Beatles sempre foram assim: pessoas muito especiais...
Extremely interesting footage _ I haven't seen any of this before. Looks like they gave it a real go, shame it didn't work out completely for them.
Isn't it a pity?
@@navitpiplani2941 I'm trying to come to terms with the loss - it's getting better all the time!
What would be to stay in India meditating….?
They went away on a holiday/study and the media followed. It was “the Beatles”, after all. People to this day don’t leave them alone. You got the music. What more do you want?
At the airport: They look so happy to be going to India. John looks like Ray Manzarek.
It's interesting that the three songs that they recorded prior to their journey, are sort of spiritually-themed: Lady Madonna, The Inner Light, Acroos the Universe... it's like they were always mentally priming themselves for this trip.
George e Ravi Chancar estão vivos e intensos. Os demais, mergulhados em seus "universos particulares"... Grana e mulher dos outros...
fascinated by this but that music is driving me crazy
Check out the Radio 4 programme Bombay Beatle where we hear from Indian musicians George linked up with for the Wonderwall film soundtrack
Feel such peace
Amazing video, maybe the best Beatles hidden secret ever
rare glimpse into a part of Beatles history
MAHARISHI FOI UM TREMENDO MAQUIAVÉLICO
Ringo and Paul still do TM, so it wasn't a Phase...anyway peace and Love PEace and Love
george, i love you
behind all of this is a very big sence. Maya, Wisdom, Philosophie
Nice to see Mia Farrow

Lennon was hoping that Maharishi would slip him the answer when they took off in a helicopter! Wow.
Muito legal eles buscarem espiritualidade enfim nesse mundo de artistas o mundo material fala alto
Hey when are you coming to India ❤️
Paul seemed to be very affectionate towards Jane, and it was all over 4 months later
Yeah, and didn't Paul and Linda already have a 'naughty weekend' in spring 1967 together. I loved Paul and Jane as a couple. They couldn't stop holding hands!
Paul tried his best to make the relationship work but...She was an overbearing controlling BITCH...good riddance Miss Asher... damn redheads! Paul wrote the song "We can work it out" about her and her independent lifestyle..one of the 1st feminist women libbers around...obviously...they couldn't work it out...even though he tried his best...see you later honey
Haha! Did anyone live for a while with Paul and Jane, or Paul and Linda, or are you just stupid?
That wasnt Paul.
@@stanleycruz8182 basta de idioteces por favor
The editing from 32:12-32:42 is pretty sneaky of the editor whoever it was in 1968🤨
Anyone know the song (Indian sitar raga) at the beginning of this film?
The first clips - February 15th, leaving for Rishikesh - are John, George, Patti and Jenny, not Cynthia. The beautiful Jenny is Patti's sister and Donovan's inspiration for Jennifer Juniper.
Is Jenny pretty? Yes, ever so!
Cynthia was there...John knew inside this was the end though, his heart was already with Yoko.
@@elwin38 Contrary to the belief that John just fell in love with Yoko as soon as he met her and then they lived a fairytale life together, actually John wanted nothing to do with Yoko at first.
She had to wage quite a determined campaign just to get him to sleep with her, and even then, for a year she was just the side chick trying to get a toehold in his life by feeding him drugs and stalking him at his marital home, and at work. She'd just show up at his work and most of the time he'd refuse to see her so she'd hang around outside, hide behind a car, then ambush him when he was leaving, pretending to just accidentally be running into him. Extremely devious.
She'd go to his and Cynthia's home and just hang around outside. Once it was raining so hard Cynthia took pity on her and invited her in. So Yoko left her ring so she'd have another excuse to get into his home. It wasn't about what John wanted. Yoko forced herself on him, deliberately made Cynthia know about her presence and shattered their relationship, and John just couldn't get rid of her. Classic stalker.
Yoko got what she wanted. She went after John tenaciously and relentlessly until John was so sick with drugs that he just gave in. Yoko is a vile woman.
@Elwin38 I don’t think John was very nice to Cynthia from day 1.
Ringo looks so bored. Paul too, in some places. The Ganges is supposed to be one of the most poluted rivers in the world now. Wonder if the Maharishis have to take their pupils somewhere else to get purified.
The Rishikesh ashram is at the foothills of the Himalaya mountains and so in the upper reaches of the Ganges river, so the water at that point is still drinkable and clean. What you are thinking about is where the Ganges reaches the Indian plains where it has become very polluted due to the waste dumped into the river.
Rings was bored. It was not thrilling to him as I think he turned his nose up at meditation. John and especially George were the two most fascinated with Indian culture.
@@ClassicKrusty Also because Ringo knew he wouldn't be able to eat much that was there because of his allergies
Ringo's an uncultured swine that's why
Peace and love man - Ringo
Feb 11 that year a few days before they left they recorded hey bulldog...one of my favourite songs by them👍🏻🇬🇧🎸
🎶Hey Bulldog! One of their best rockers!
@@kathleenwright4826I love the Beatles, and hey bulldog is brilliant 👍🏻
Once there the women walk in back of the men ... Is that Jenny w Pattie ??? great music here Evening raag "Jog" performed by Panditji Ravi Shankar
♥️♥️♥️👩🏭🙏
I think it's cute how Paul and Mal tower above the rest of the crowd at the airport, including Ringo and the girls.
Hi! I would like to use some of the footage in this video. Could you please contact me?
Just a group of kids on Holiday !
who is here after watching the Get Back on disney +?
Om namah shivay 💞 Jai gana 🌹🌹🥀🥀🌹
George bought the whole thing, John and Pual thought the guy was fake, and Ringo did not like the food.
Fact: Paul and Ringo still endorse TM and Paul still speaks highly of the Maharishi.
Only John thought the guy was fake. Alex Mardas was his gurú then...
The guy was a fake.
ringo was actually allergic to most of the food, hence the beans
@@Harcorwrestler yes, Ringo left in 2 weeks or so because of vegetarian food, though George and Paul didn't quite believe what John believed but still had to tag along John after 3 months stay
what’s the name of the song? it sounds a little bit like Within You Without You @ 1:37
È UN TRENO INDIANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SALAMALECU ALLECM U SALAM
Foreigners still obsessed with celebrity charms that they overlook charisma and power of meditation and spirituality of Hinduism and nature. Showing underfed faces of beatles but not a single frame of eternal and serene beauty of Hrishikesh and ganges which gave them power to write hit songs
they wrote many hit songs before going to India.
“Hinduism” is British racist curse. Stop it already. Correct terminology is “Sanathan Dharma”. Eternal Law,. Proud to be born dharmic🙏🕉🪔🇮🇳💪
Masarishi was a fraud and raped one of Beatles wife
did pattie’s sister jenny just go everywhere with her 😂 i always see her!!! lmao
It’s what George wanted
The Don oh ok
She did, and that’s how she wound up leaving Mick Fleetwood for awhile she was with one of the California guys in Fleetwood Mac. George felt responsible for her so he didn’t let her stay in India... Donovan was falling for her and he wrote much of his Hurdy Gurdy Man album there and Jennifer Juniper for her. The Beatles wrote most of the White Album there..
@@rayconnor9006 ah i see, thats interesting
They were(and still are) very close. Recently Jennifer published her autobiography "Jennifer Juniper: A Journey Beyond The Muse" with ofc quite a lot about the time in India.
population at that time was nearly 45 crore . now 135 crore........................
Today's hipsters think they're so cool and original.
People wanna live in the past because of their idol's
I want to live in the past beacuse that time the world was pretty añd beautiful and peaceful too
Been to india. Highly recommend
Any resort over there?
@@valetyl5673 I wouldn’t recommend a resort. Ur always moving from city to city and a resort in india wouldn’t make sense
On vois Ravi Shankar ...dans ce film ?
where is the interview when paul says: we thought he was….someone…special…but he wasnt…
Someone get Percy to upmaster & release "Beatles in India" next.
The Maharishi's voice sounds like Jeremy the character in the song nowhere man in the film Yellow Submarine.
Across The Universe was composed and recorded BEFORE their India experience?One would think it was a result of it.
I take it you never taken acid
Sinceramente acho que foi casamento de alguém.
i heard ringo left asap ,
Ringo left after 4 weeks. He had a 6 month old baby at home and the spicy Indian food was difficult for him to eat. So he left after a month.
John was by himself because Cyn said they didn't share a room. She later found out John had a room for Yoko. Cynthia realized it when Yoko jumped in the car with them before they departed. Frickin sad.
the world's most famous persons of that time in a country where nobody knows them at that time indians only know that they have come from foreign. still so many people don't know who they are and what they are . In 2020 also maybe only 50 to 60 people knows who beatles are in india.
Wo bitteschön geht es zur Erleuchtung?
how do I get this in english
Kids on holiday !
After this trip George became an important figure on ISKCON (Hare Krishna Movement) and devoted to Hinduism until his death.
Paul and Ringo still meditating with the same mantra Maharishi gave them up until now.
And all the four members of the beatles become vegetarian.
Thank you beatles for your help bridging the eastern philosophy to the western society.
