Beatlemania is at its peak and the boys are overwhelmed by screaming fans, more money than they can count, and fame beyond their dreams. But one day, on the sets of the surreal Help!, George discovers the sitar, starting the boys off on a journey filled with\ndrug-induced introspection, transnational spirituality and damned fine music.\n\nIt is 1968, and John, Paul, George and Ringo have decided to find themselves. Following an eerie series of events, as if devised by fate, the boys are brought to Rishikesh, India, in pursuit of eternal happiness through a secret mantra from Transcendental Meditation guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Hoping to get the better of their personal demons, they seek to break the shackles of stardom even though it begins the unravelling of the band.\n\nAcross the Universe etches in lyrical detail a picture of the world's greatest band torn apart by their inner dissensions yet bursting with creative genius. Full of characters and happenings delightful and evil, of comic excess and dark whimsy, the book traces the path the Beatles took to India and the dramatic denouement\nof their sojourn at the Himalayan ashram. It is a modern fairy tale about four people the world has loved like no one else.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ajoy Bose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14327923114097,"sku":"PRH-448","price":619.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/0601\/7393\/products\/5aa1f945b6cad-267x405.jpg?v=1537635125"},{"product_id":"for-reasons-of-state-delhi-under-emergency","title":"For Reasons of State: Delhi Under Emergency","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Dayal \u0026amp; Ajoy Bose\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003ePenguin India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eImprint: \u003c\/b\u003eViking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages: \u003c\/b\u003e320\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1977, two staff reporters at the Patriot, both in their twenties, occupied highly advantageous positions during the nineteen months of the Emergency to observe the turmoil wrought in the capital city of Delhi. In For Reasons of State, they have supplied first-hand evidence of the ruthlessness with which people's homes were torn down and the impossible resettlement schemes introduced. The nation found itself in a whirlwind of fear, confusion, violence and destabilization, stemming from forced sterilizations, heartless evictions in the thousands, and the cruel imprisonment of many.\nPart reportage and part human stories, this definitive volume evokes the life and times of the Emergency and how it unfolded, and remains perennially relevant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Dayal \u0026 Ajoy Bose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14329108234353,"sku":"PRH-602","price":529.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/0601\/7393\/products\/5afcf0f4ea650-254x405.jpg?v=1537636877"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.booksetgo.com\/collections\/ajoy-bose\/binding_hardback.oembed","provider":"BOOKSETGO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
