The context I'm responding to is in the title of this thread which was written by offworlds - "George Harrison, most devoted to MMY of all devotees". It's absurd. I don't think george rejected MMY, but clearly his main spiritual allegiance was with iskon if it was with anything. George wasn't a rejecting type, remember he had a number 1 hit with a chorus featuring of halleluias and hare krishnas. I'm not saying this as a tmer, but as a beatles fanatic. (Imagine a hit with a hare krishna chorus in george bush's america) You don't need no love in You don't need no bed pan You don't need a horoscope or a microscope The see the mess that you're in If you open up your heart You will know what I mean We've been polluted so long Now here's a way for you to get clean By chanting the names of the lord and you'll be free The Lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see Awaiting on You All by George Harrison, (with ridiculous phil spector overproduction). ------------------------ Yahoo!
