George Harrison had a long relationship with Krishna. He and John Lennon got the first Hare Krishna mantra record produced by the Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, in 1968.

From that point on George was a follower of Srila Prabhupada and a devotee of Krishna.

    I was the priest who was offering arati to Radha-Syamasundara when George arrived with Mukunda Svami and Prithu

    Yes, I've always wanted to see this footage. I knew it existed somewhere as we've seen many still shots and photos from George's time in Vrindavan. But here it is. I hope there's more! Hare Krishna 🙏🙏❤️🏵️
  • That is just unbelievable. George Harrison had every single reason not to go to Krsna but still, deep down inside, he knew, he needed His love Hare Krsna

    Srila Prabhupada's mercy on George was incredible. George has been so kind with Srila Prabhupada and the devotees. Thank you George. A very blessed Soul.
  • Through the years, George Harrison's exquisite song, "My Sweet Lord" has been there to comfort & inspire me. And it always will. Thank you, George.
  • This is so wonderful to see! I have such a deep personal connection with all of this! I had been given a mix-tape of George's more directly Krishna Conscious songs when I was 16. I listened to it all the time! I also used to listen to this Laksmi Shankar recording when I was younger. I got my first job working under Mukunda Goswami in DC making videos about Hare Krishna Today. Then I met Prithu Prabhu at a Rainbow Gathering, and later went to Vrindavan with one of his disciples in 2004, where we stayed at Prabhupada-Vani asrama, which is just on the other side of the wall shown here in the video of the walled dirt path they were walking in. I entered the Krishna Balarama temple through the same doors, and stood in front of the same gift-shop desk. I sat in the same seat in Srila Prabhupada's samadhi. I later became friends with Shyamasundar and Gurudas, Yamuna and the rest. I listen to George all the time now, along with Srila Prabhupada of course. I love how Krishna is so personal and loving and kind and generous and miraculous all at once.
  • Such a great soul, one of the most beloved person of Srila Prabhupada...
  • George Harrison was amazingly comfortable in Krishna Consciousness. He made beautiful music from the heart for Krishna. ❤❤🙏
  • you have to wait a moment and think how powerful must have been the message of srila bhaktivedanta prabhupad's devotion that krishna personally empowered him to convince all these western devotees (including influential ones like harrison) to give up their material comforts and accept india's material discomfort for their spiritual advancement.. jai srila bhaktivedanta prabhupad ji jagatguru.. hari bol
  • The thumbnail photo is of Radha Damodar Mandir, Vrindavan and Samadhi of Jiva Goswami Pad who was one of the six Goswami who were discipiles of Chaitanya mahaprabhu who left ministership in order to study the scriptures to find all the places making sure the revival of Vrindavan. Swami Prabhupada lived in the temple doing seva and translating Bhagavad and other text in English for few years before heading to New York. there lies a rock which was part of govardhan with impression of Krishna feet, cow feet and his flute. Doing parikrama of the temple and rock four times is equivalent to govardhan parikrama. Recently went to this temple was a surreal experience. Hare ram hare krishna
  • I recall this visit. So many devotees of Krishna were going up to George thanking him for introducing them to Krishna consciousness. I also was introduced through his music, but decided to not go up to him and thank him :(
  • George was a example that you don't have to be a devotee to have Krishna at your side
  • George Harrison was a true devotee of Krishna and the Indian culture in general. This was way beyond just a hippy thing or a mere fad. It was for real. He can be called the authentic spiritual member of the Beatles.
