Los 159 | The Beatles in India
Schätzwert
7000USD $ 7 000 – 10 000
One page, 285 x 216mm on Spiritual Regeneration Movement Foundation of India stationery bearing a portrait of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at left (marginal tears and chips, some mild toning). [With:] the original transmittal envelope, and a 106 x 84mm color photograph of Pattie Boyd, Donovan, John Farrow, Mia Farrow and John Lennon. Mounted to a card that identifies the sitters as well as crediting George Harrison as the photographer.
A rare set of autographs from the Beatles storied trip to India in 1968, in the form of a letter written to John Farrow's friend Tina. He opens wiring her "love and love and love" from "the valley of the Saints", while his sister Mia adds her love (with a smiley face). George Harrison continues with his greeting followed by his wife, Pattie Harrison. John Lennon then offers a greeting in transliterated Sanskrit: "Jai Guru Dev". After Cynthia Lennon adds her signature, Paul McCartney and Jane Asher add their own greetings just before Donovan offers his own. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi closes the letter, advising her to "Meditate and radiate life."
The Beatles had first encountered the Maharishi in Wales in August 1967, where he was holding a transcendental meditation seminar. But their visit was cut short when they learned of the death of their manager, Brian Epstein. Over the fall of 1967, John Lennon and George Harrison appeared twice on David Frost to espouse transcendental meditation and introduced the Maharishi's teachings to others including Dennis Wilson and Mike Love of the Beach Boys, and soon Donovan became interested as well. In mid February, the Beatles, together with their wives and friends including John and Mia Farrow, travelled to India to work with the Maharishi at his ashram (today known as Beatles Ashram). There, they joined Mia Farrow and her sister Prudence who had arrived in January—the latter inspiring John Lennon's song that was released on The White Album later that year. Each member of the Beatles varied in their commitment to transcendental mediation. While Ringo Starr, who had arrived already feeling unwell from all of the shots he had to endure to travel to India, left on the first of March, and McCartney departed several weeks later to attend to business affairs, while Lennon and Harrison remained into mid-April. Provenance: the recipient.
Christie's would like to thank noted Beatles autograph and handwriting expert Frank Caiazzo for his assistance in authenticating this lot.
