The Inner Light

How India Influenced the Beatles

De: Susan Shumsky DD

Narrado por: Christina Delaine

The spiritual journey of the Beatles is the story of an entire generation of visionaries in the sixties who transformed the world. 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.

This eye-opening book draws back the curtain on the Beatles' experiments with psychedelics, meditation, chanting, and Indian music. Among many shocking revelations, we discover who invented "raga rock" (not the Beatles), the real identity of rare Indian instruments 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.

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.

Great Expose on Hindu Influence

Dr. Shumsky has done a detailed, quite intricate job of introducing the Beatles in depth.
She documents their influence and immersion into the culture and knowledge of the Eastern methods for enlightenment.
She beautifully illustrates the depth of understanding that each Beatle absorbed and expressed in their lifestyle, music and relationships.
By introducing each album with a detailed background, the reader comes to understand and conceptualize the meaning of deep transcendental experiences like: going beyond thoughts, how we generate and receive karma, and how we can go beyond it.
The greatest gift of this beautiful expose’ is how to create the reality that we want in life,by documenting and un-packing the experiences of the Beatles!
Bravo Dr.Shumsky!! Well Done!!!
