Three photographs taken by Paul Saltzman in February 1968 during his stay at the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram in Rishkish, India, one 5 x 7 and two 7 x 5. In fine condition. Speaking of his first encounter with The Beatles, Saltzman relates: ‘Somewhat nervously, I walked over. ‘May I join you?’ I asked. ‘Sure, mate.’ said John, ‘Pull up a chair.’ Then Paul said, "Come and sit here.’ and pulled a chair over next to him. As soon as I sat down, to my surprise, I heard this voice in my head scream, ‘Eek! It's the Beatles!’ Before I even had time to think, I was surprised by a second voice within me. This one was calm, deep and resonant: ‘Hey, Paul,’ it said, ‘They're just ordinary people like you. Everyone farts, and is afraid in the night.’ And from that moment on, I never thought of them as the Beatles again, but rather, as four individual human beings.’ The cardstock photos with Saltzman’s handwritten notations along the lower border: ‘Paul, ‘Love Song’-1968, ‘George, ‘The Inner Light’-1968, and Ringo Starr ‘Ringo, ‘When I’m Sixty-Four’-1968.
