Like many of you, I'm sure, I was extremely saddened today to hear of the
passing of George Harrison. Harrison was a long-time devotee of ISKCON and
a
true spiritual seeker. It was Harrison that led the Beatles to India and
Hindu spirituality, bringing them to Rishikesh and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Harrison remained a practitioner of Hindu spirituality all his life. This
was reflected in his music, particularly in his magnificent "All Things
Must
Pass" and "Living in the Material World" albums, as well many others. His
album "Chant and Be Happy!" introduced Hindu chant to the Western pop
culture. He collaborated frequently with Ravi Shankar and produced
Shankar's
important album, "Chants of India." Farewell, George. Hari Krishna!
Here are some quotes:
"For every human there is a quest to find the answer to
why am I here, who am I, where did I come from, where am I
going. For me that became the most
important thing in my life, everything else is secondary." - George
Harrison
"Through Hinduism, I feel a better person. I just get
happier and happier. I now feel that I am unlimited, and I
am more in control of my own physical body. The thing is,
you go to an ordinary church and it's a nice feeling. They
tell you all about God, but they don't show you how the way.
They don't show you how to become Christ-concious yourself.
Hinduism, however, is different." - George Harrison
"It is one of our perennial problems, whether there is
actually a God. From the Hindu point of view each soul is
divine. All religions are branches of one big tree. It
doesn't matter what you call Him just as long as you call.
Just as cinematic images appear to be real but are only
combinations of light and shade, so is the universal variety
a delusion. The planetary spheres, with their countless
forms of life, are naught but figures in a cosmic motion
picture. One's values are profoundly changed when he is
finally convinced that creation is only a vast motion
picture and that not in, but beyond, lies his own ultimate
reality." - George Harrison
