I have been a fan of The Beatles since my early childhood, and have always wondered what inspired them to write their music. Throughout history, music has brought Indian society and civilization together, often doing so contradictory to the conflict between the major religious sects of South Asia. The symbolism behind music provides common musical practice, and they are shared across sacred boundaries of many kinds. The religious and philosophical unity presented through musical practice has deep
During the 1960’s, a very famous band came about, they were called The Beatles, they became the best known group in popular music (Ebsco Host).

In 1960, “The Quarrymen” changed their name to “The Silver Beatles”. However, soon after they dropped the “Silver” and became just “The Beatles”. (All Music) In “The
The Beatles continued on, with McCartney stepping up and trying to take over the management role. But during this time their lives began to go in different directions. Lennon met artist Yoko Ono, George was seeking enlightenment from Ravi Shankar, and Paul fell into the arms of photographer Linda Eastman. The BeatlesAlthough their songwriting styles were increasingly contrasting, there were still striking similarities, as both songs were about the Liverpool of their childhood. Lennon's lyrics to
Considered by most as the authority and seminal scripture relaying together all schools of Hindu philosophy, the Bhagavad Gita, is simply one big epic poem (by Western standards), where Sri Krishna reveals himself to Arjuna, a warrior on the eve of a great war with his own family to restore the throne to its rightful heir. This epic serves as metaphor for The Path the spiritual aspirant must take to attain illumination and become one with Krishna. (http://blogcritics.org/books/article/book-review-bhagavad-gita/)

When one thinks of meditation, what comes to mind? Does one think of group of 1970’s hippies sitting in a circle singing about peace? How about relaxing music being played? How about trying to form one’s body into a pretzel-like shape? What if meditation has nothing to do with the background music being played or what position one’s body is in? Meditation is defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “the act or process of spending time in quiet thought” (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/meditation)

The Beatles As the plane lands, thousands of fans start to scream, increasing in volume as four young men step out, wearing identical hairstyles and expressions of shock. They never expected to be this famous in America! As the four walk down to the ground, fans rush to the barriers, trying to get a closer look at them, and the police have to hold them back. Some women(and men) faint when they see them. These boys that caused so much chaos were The Beatles, a 19´s rock and roll band that, with
Salvador Dali, born in Spain in 1904, was one of world's most famous Surrealist artists. His work is popular amongst modern society as well as art enthusiasts and often interweaves bizarre and thought-provoking ideas with abstract images, many of these symbolising dreams and fantasies. His paintings explore the connection between reality and fantasy, and he once described his own work as "hand painted dream photographs". His exploration of fantasy and subconscious is pronounced clearly in
Meditation is defined as a mind-body technique, which practices awareness, and induces tranquility in order to connect the mind and the body.
