LSD and the Bomb--From review of book of the beats in India

[rich]

Robert Oppenheimer knew Sanskrit. Quotations from the Bhagavad Gita
flashed through his mind when he witnessed the first atomic explosion
in New Mexico in 1945: 'Suppose a thousand suns should rise together
into the sky: such is the glory of the Shape of the Infinite God.'
Reading that same chapter of the Bhagavad Gita in Darjeeling in 1962,
Allen Ginsberg thought of something else: the coloured wheels of
psilocybin-induced visions. That two of the 20th century's most
consciousness-altering inventions, the atom bomb and the LSD pill,
could be conjoined under the sign of the mushroom cloud is just the
sort of thing that convinces poets of the doctrine of secret
correspondences in nature, of a transcendental logic ruling reality.
