The Beatles ashram is the place where the members of the Beatles found their way to sometime in the late 60's, early 70's. They chilled out at this hot spot, that was the home of what is known of today as 'Transendental Meditation', and worked on their 'White Album'. For the past 20 years or so this place has been abandoned. Big problems came up when there were so many foreigners trampling through. Apparently it was George who led the boys out to India; John and Paul were pretty into it, but Ringo hated the food and wanted out immediately. The story goes that these boys got along for the time that they chilled out at this place. But soon after the band broke up.
Natahna and I spent an afternoon/evening there just checking out this abandoned, decaying and mysterious dwelling. The property was HUGE and connected to a Provincial forest with wild animals. The two of us were the only one's around for our entire visit, which only added to the magic of the experience. We were told to be very careful and come out ASAP as the cops may be patrolling and it was illegal for us to be there. I am not sure why there are so many fear tactics involved in a visit to this place.
