User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dr Ramesh Singh Chouhan is an Indian oncologist specializing in treatment of liver cancer. He is also very knowledgeable and successful in treatment of other cancers with a mix of conventional and natural medicines and treatments. He is also a great humanitarian unspoiled by greed and renders his services frequently free of charge, instead directing those who can afford to pay to donate medicine and treatments to those who can not. He is well known in Europe, USA and Canada and worshipped by those whose lives he saved when other doctors gave up. He represents a mix of modern thinking and inspiration derived from Vedic science combined with great curiosity, open mind and soft heart.

I am Canadian, know him very well, and am greatly honoured to be his friend.

How did the Beatles get interested in Indian culture?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Their second movie Help! had the Beatles chased by a fictitious Indian sacrificial cult, and included sitar music and other Indian motifs. While they filmed in the Bahamas, a Hindu devotee gave each Beatle a book about reincarnation. George Harrison got the most out of the book, and it sparked in him a lifelong interest in Hinduism and Indian culture. His sitar studies with Ravi Shankar were his first and only formal music lessons.

You have to understand the 1960's to understand it was very cool to know about or follow the Indian culture. The founding premise of the 60's was peace and love and out of that came the philosophy of Gandhi and others who talked/wrote about change through non violence and love. Sitar music became very popular, meditation, and learning from the ancient Hindu and Yogi of India was considered very cool.
