This photograph was taken in February of 1968 when the Beatles, together with their wives/girlfriends attended a Transcendental Meditation program at the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram in Rishikesh, India. They first met Maharishi in 1967, while the famous Transcendental Meditation teacher was in England for a lecture tour. This particular trip of the famous band proved to be productive and gained a lot of media attention.
The English rock band, especially George Harrison, was instrumental in shaping Western attitudes and behaviors about Indian spirituality. They took time to promote the benefits and practice of Transcendental Meditation. It is believed and proven that this non-religious method promotes relaxation and self-development.

When asked why Beatty was so interested in filmmaking over acting, MacLaine said “That's why he's more comfortable behind the camera, he's in the total-control aspect. He has to have control over everything.” Beatty won an Academy Award for Best Director for "Reds" and earned nominations for Best Actor, Best Picture, and Best Screenplay. Wow, such a talented guy here!

Rocking with Jimi Hendrix
There were over 30 musicians set to perform on the stage at Woodstock. Jimi Hendrix was one of them. He headlined the festival - and only performed for about 30,000 attendees. Unfortunately, since he was last, most people had already gone home due to unfavorable weather conditions, such as rain and extreme heat.
Jimi Hendrix earned the most money out of anyone who performed at Woodstock. He walked away with $18,000. The performance lasted for two amazing hours. It has been said that this performance at Woodstock went down in history for him and his band Gypsy Sun and Rainbows.
