Steve Jobs visited India only once — as a backpacker in 1973 looking for spiritual enlightenment -– but his legacy deeply influenced the creative community.
Jobs had journeyed to India in the late 1970s, with cash he had kept employed as a technician at a video sport constructor in the US.
He allegedly travelled to the Neem Karoli Baba at his Kainchi Ashram with a Reed College ally Daniel Kottke in seek of religious enlightenment.
As per Wikipedia :
Among the most well known of Maharaj-ji’s disciples were Ram Dass, the author of Be Here Now, teacher/performer Bhagavan Das, Lama Surya Das and the musicians Jai Uttal and Krishna Das. Other notable devotees include humanitarian Larry Brilliant and his wife Girija, as well as Dada Mukerjee (former professor at Allahabad University, Uttar Pradesh, India). Baba Hari Dass was also a disciple who maintained one of the ashrams before heading to the USA to become a spiritual teacher. Steve Jobs, along with his friend Dan Kottke, traveled to India in 1973 to meet Maharaj-ji, but did not arrive before the guru expired in September of that year.[2]In her 2010 interview to ELLE magazine, Julia Roberts disclosed that a picture of Neem Karoli Baba drew her to Hinduism and now she is practicing it along with her family. Steve Jobs was one of his followers.
