In 1970, at 18, Paul hitchhiked from England to India and learned TM in Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in Rishikesh. A year later, going back to India, he traveled to Uttarkashi, the Valley of the Saints. In Joshimath, where the revered Swami Brahmananda Saraswati ('Guru Dev') had re-established a monastery, Paul discovered rare books about him. To translate them, he studied Hindi and Sanskrit. From Guru Dev's disciples and other sources, he obtained more biographical material and photographs of Guru Dev. The translations, published in a three-volume set, include the original Devanagari text. Paul's biography of Maharishi was published in 1996. New editions feature more information about Maharishi's life, his association with Guru Dev, his passing in 2008, and many more photographs. Paul is writing a fourth book about Guru Dev, an in-depth re-examination of his life and teachings. Paul has written other books about his travels and research. He has created ebooks on various topics including the LA blues group, Canned Heat. Many know of Paul through his FB groups 'Roots of TM' and 'Guru Dev - Swami Brahmananda Saraswati’.
