I am in tears. This is the song my dad used to listen to when he got back to his stateroom on board the USS Ranger after flying missions in Vietnam. He was a career Navy fighter pilot. This song got him through it all.
Harrison spoke to two different audiences-- the acceptance of Christianity, but then the honoring of Hindu traditions as well. He was a great influence in loving and understanding each other, our differences, but mainly our similarities. His audience, actually, was global.
As you may know, George was a member of The Beatles. George released this song shortly after the breakup of The Beatles. It was the first song to top the Billboard ranking of hit songs by any Beatle post breakup. From Google search: I'm not pushing Buddhism, because I'm no more a Buddhist than I am a Christian, but there's one thing I admire about the religion [Buddhism]: There's no proselytizing." Harrison continued to embrace the Hare Krishna tradition (particularly japa-yoga chanting with beads) and became a lifelong devotee.
A search reveals: ''Harrison wrote "My Sweet Lord" in praise of the Hindu god Krishna, while intending the lyrics as a call to abandon religious sectarianism through his blending of the Hebrew word hallelujah with chants of "Hare Krishna" and Vedic prayer.'' He was commonly referred to as the most spiritual of the four Beatles, but was sued for apparently plagiarizing the 60's song "He's So Fine" even though he said he got the song's melodic inspiration from "Oh Happy Day" by the Edwin Hawkins Singers, another song you might want to check out.
Lord Krishna is celebrated in the sacred book called the Bahgivad Gita in the Hindu faith. The song celebrates all spiritual teachers or gurus of all religions who have given love and guidance to humanity throughout time ❤
I like this song but my favorite George Harrison song is Give Me love and Here Comes The Sun, which was officially a Beatles song but was very obviously a Harrison song
Beautiful George Harrison, the soul of The Beatles. This song was released not long after The Beatles broke up. Please react to Give me love ( give me peace on earth by George Harrison. We all need it. Sadly George passed away in 2001, aged only 58 from cancer 😢
George Harrison was very spiritual and followed eastern spiritual traditions. I believe he was a Krishna devotee, but also honored Jesus and other spiritual masters. Rama and Krishna are deities from the Hindu tradition. The part of the song that starts with "Guru Bramha" is the Guru Mantra (prayer).
So glad and rich I was born in a VERY diverse country where all kinds of GREAT music where played on the radio. George Harrison's solo music compositions has given me much inspiration and MUSIC in general. George has two more which I like: "Give me love" and "What is life". Major contribution during The Beatles was "Something". Respectable and great musician. BTW: During "My sweet lord" with Hindu words according to Hindu gods. Short after there was a movie screenend in 3 cinemas named "Hare Rama, Hare Krishna" which I saw. Hindi language do not understand only a few words but nevertheless, the stereo sound was amazing.
It’s a mantra in itself. Harrison was a very spiritual man, when he was sick he was if he asked if he feared death . He said he’d be a hypocrite if he did as he had been preparing for it most of his life . Paraphrasing ☮️
Ace, I think it's time for you to get to know the group we've been talking about so much in the comments, The Beatles! Members were, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Actually it's Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Ringo Starr, as they were knighted by Queen Elizabeth. Sadly both John and George are no longer with us...John was murdered in 1980, outside his apartment building, aged 40. George died of cancer in 2001, aged 58 😢. Try, I want you ( She's so heavy). John Lennon on lead vocals. Oh Darling ( Paul McCartney on lead vocals). Something ( George Harrison on lead vocals). Please do the official video, as they're wives appear on the video. Thanks and you're welcome 😅
The Beatles famously went to India in 1968, where George went all-in on Hinduism. The came back after discovering that their Indian guru was as much interested in banging groupies as helping them find enlightenment. These are all deities in the Hindu faith, which is a massively confusing and complex religion--Krishna, for example, is the eighth avatar of the god Vishnu--of and light years more sophisticated and philosophical than Christianity. Buddhism is an off-shoot of Hinduism the way that Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism. The maharishi mahesh yogi soon became a celebrity, booking tours across Europe and the United States, and filled the Madison Square Garden in 1968. One comedian in the 80s joked that the Beatles mentioned his name and he became a millionaire.
I am not sure, but I think George was a seeker and perhaps looked everywhere for a higher power. I think the different words were from different "religions." Could be wrong here.
Expand you world view. Or, remain in a little box of ignorance. Growth is better than a narrow little mindset. And yes. Most of the world doesn’t speak English. “Expand you mind, relax, and flow down stream.” Life is a short ride. Try the E ticket.
This is George honoring the Hindu gods & traditions. Rama is one of the major deities in the Hindu pantheon. Thanks for your reaction.
Where is Krishna
Krishna isn't Hindu.
He's God in his original form.
His name means..
" All Attractive "

What a beautiful memory!

My favourite George song is Give Me Love.
"Someplace Else" 🥰
such a chill song.
I love it! I've heard this song my entire life. Love it.
George was my favorite Beatle. He had so many great songs with and after the Beatles.

This song ..& Harrison in general hold a very special place in my heart❤

Anything by George is good, you should check out Taxman by George or Beatles which he does vocals
What more can you ask for but to 'feel good' when listening to a song.
You learn by asking questions 😊

He was also in the supergroup “The travelling Wilburys”. Their “Handle with care” and “End of the Line” are nice.
He was my favorite Beetle.
One of my mantras is "We learn something new every day." And so... there ya go.

good reaction, and it is stated in the book, who can appear as an angel of light. 🖖❤

Try,
I want you ( She's so heavy). John Lennon on lead vocals.
Oh Darling ( Paul McCartney on lead vocals).
Something ( George Harrison on lead vocals). Please do the official video, as they're wives appear on the video. Thanks and you're welcome 😅
I'll put it this way. God is always the same, no matter what name he has in any religion.
Legendary

Another great song to try. is "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".
I suggest that you please react to George Harrison’s song “This Song “. Please watch the video. ✌️🖖
It’s a form of Hinduism
I’m 63. Probably my most favorite song of all time. And that says a lot.
The Lord is all the deities in all the world religions and all the spiritual teachings. Follow the lord and all is right
No religious bone in my body, it's a great song.
❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
She’s so fine!
I am not sure, but I think George was a seeker and perhaps looked everywhere for a higher power. I think the different words were from different "religions." Could be wrong here.
How could anyone even of your age not know who George Harrison was? Or the fact that he was a Hindu?
You said Hare Krishna! See you in the airport.
Hinuism!
He lost a copyright infringement suit over this song, the court ruling he unconsciously copied The Chiffons, "Hes So Fine".
This song about Hinduism ,one of the oldest religions in the world & this guy has not got a clue
There are about three thousand religions and philosophies in our planet. Think about it.
