The Beatles In Rishikesh
Released: October 2000
Paul Saltzman has been passionate about life as far back as he can remember. In 1965 he left Canada to do voter registration work in Mississippi with Stokely Carmichael and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). While he was there, he was attacked and jailed.
He began his media career at the National Film Board of Canada (production manager, assistant director) and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (public affairs story-editor and on-air host). In 1967 he interviewed American inventor and visionary Buckminster Fuller, who would later say that Saltzman changed his assessment of the '60's generation.
Early in 1968 he learned meditation at the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in India. It was a profound experience that changed his life. During his time there, he met, hung out with and photographed the Beatles, Mia Farrow, Donovan and Mike Love.
