    George was a very spiritual person. He was born basically into an Irish Catholic family environment. He'd heard Indian music during the filming of 'Help' while with the Beatles and became entranced. It felt very familiar to him. He purchased a sitar, found a sitar teacher (Ravi Shankar - one of the best in the world and also the father of Norah Jones). This brought him closer to Hinduism and he adopted that as his religion, more or less. While with the Beatles he managed to incorporate Indian instruments and philosophies in their catalog. When the Beatles broke up, he populated a lot of his early solo work with his perception of Hinduism and God. Apparently he would also take any opportunity to talk at length to fellow musicians about religion earning him the nickname 'His Lectureship'. After 'All Things Must Pass', his solo output began to get very heavy into his philosophies which did put some people off who could no longer relate to what he was saying. He even went on tour and would give impromptu sermons to his audiences who only wanted to his hits. At one show, the audience were audibly annoyed whereupon George chastised them by saying he would rather die for Indian music than rock-and-roll. To his credit though, he stuck with it throughout his life. As for the song, somebody else already mentioned the similarity to the Chiffons' 'He's So Fine'. It is. As for production it should be noted that ALL of the background singers are George through multiple overdubs. He liked to do that for some reason. Also the song is a kind of statement intended to convey his thinking that God is still God no matter what and to abandon secularism, thus the transition in the song from hallelujah to Hare Krsna.

    I honestly cannot say I had a favorite Beatle, since I adored them all for their own personalities and talents. But there was just something about George Harrison’s voice that has always been so relaxing to me. And one of my favorite Beatles’ songs, if not my favorite in general, was sung by George, and that was “Something”. But this song, I remember my dad playing on the guitar in our living room when I was a little girl, so it’s very special to me because of that. RIP Mr Harrison.

    One of the most beautiful songs of my life. I have never, ever got tired of hearing it. George was a follower of Eastern philosophy, so it’s not surprising that the ending verses called on Hare Krishna. It doesn’t matter who ones prays to. What matters is that you have faith in a higher power to pray to. I myself have been extremely spiritual my whole life since I was a little girl. I was 10 years old when this song came out and was drawn to it like a moth to light. While I had an extremely hard childhood, this song just reminded me that I was extremely lucky to have a life at all. I knew if I needed to talk to someone my sweet Lord would be there to listen. That’s how my 10 year old mind took the meaning of the song to be. I can’t say I’ve changed my mind on the meaning of this song. I know, even now, if I have to talk to someone, he will still listen without judging.

    George Harrison's take is a beautiful hymn to divinity and the divine in the Beloved multiracial Community. Yes, Harrison WAS shouting out to the Edwin Hawkin's Oh, Happy Day--AND the prophetic Bob Marley's One World conceptualizing, of and to which Harrison was well aware and deeply committed. As a Boomer, I remember first hearing the song when I was all of twelve; my group of friends were heartbroken with the Beatles break-up, but this song's great lead guitar solo, the vocals (George double tracked all of the background harmonies), and multicultural themes meant to us that the individual Beatles, especially George and John, would carry on The Word, along with the likes of Marley, Gaye, Wonder, and later titans like Prince, Outkast, Mary Blige, you know, the Geniuses for the Ages. Final personal note: The Beatles inspired my brother and I to become professional musicians, which we remain today, and for me to also take my degrees in History, with a commitment to deconstructing racist structures and myths. Great art, "high" and "popular," opens eyes, minds, changes views, changes worlds. As a guitarist, I will have abiding connection with and feeling about Harrison's work, but there is something else, as well, too. I'm a Northern English-Latinx biracial. Harrison, a Northern Englishman, was married to Olivia Trinidad, a Mexican-American immigrant daughter from East LA. Their son, Dhani, is an insightful, interesting musician-thinker in his own right. And when I see him, even after all my years on this planet, there is some sense of, well, representation, some intimate sense of reflection: Dhani looks and sounds like me and my brothers. Let's just say that this song, pretty much all of Harrison's songs, and Harrison's life and legacy, PERSONAL and ARTISTIC, resonates pretty deeply for me and my family.

    It was a wonderful album, but it was a triple album. And this was a lot at the time, as few albums were triples. Triples cost a lot to make. Also, they had to be packed in an actual box, not an album sleeve. Many complained that it was too expensive. Others claimed that there was only enough good music on it to make it a double album. Also, the Beatles had only broken up a year earlier and the ex-Beatles were judged by a standard that was probably unrealistically high. The public wanted every song or album from an ex-Beatle to sound Beatle-esque. Not all the songs on this album could have been top 40 hits. But many were quite good. Check out "Apple Scruffs," "Wah-Wah" "Beware of Darkness" "Awaiting on you all" "Behind that locked door" "Isn't it a pity" and a cover of Bob Dylan's "If not for you."

    @@timorean320 It's easy to take things out of context. To the best of my knowledge, Krishna is one aspect of Hinduism's holy trinity (along with Shiva and Brahma). Each has a role to play. In the Jewish and later the Christian faiths, God himself plays the role of Destoyer when this serves creation in some way (according to doctrine, anyway), e.g. the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, the coming "Armageddon" promised by some sects of Christianity, etc. And more subtly but still significantly, Jesus himself brought about an end to the burdensome contract the Jews had with God in the form of the Mosaic Law. This opened the way for people of any nationality to have a relationship with God, not just the Jews (at least in the context Jesus presented him.) So destruction isn't in and of itself a negative thing. It is one facet of life and just as valid as others such as creativity and stability. Most of the major religions recognise this somewhere in their doctrine. I think it's a great shame to cherry pick one thing out of context from an entire belief system rich in valuable symbolism and use it to reject the whole thing out of hand. What I take from this song is George Harrison's perspective that whatever form the divine takes for you, the need for some kind of spiritual nourishment is universal. *Edit: My bad, Vishnu is the 3rd part of the Hindu trinity (Krishna is one of his avatars) and it is Shiva who represents primordial destruction. Whatever shape and face the principle of Destruction wears in any symbolic system though, the point stands.

It was because of the Fallen Angel's (Nephiliam) Gen 6 states "The sons of God, saw the daughters of men were beautiful, and took them as wives that they chose." Satan knew the Savior had to come through the bloodline of men, so the Nephiliam contaminated it, hence why Noah was chosen, as his family did not mix with them. "Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations" (Geneology). I see a world full of Spiritual darkness, and many are lied to, and deceived into believing untruths. There are 5 "Hidden Dynasties" Satan works through. Entertainment, Education, Finance, Politics, Religion, and unless you have not been paying attention, it's easy to see mankind is slipping into a Dark time. "Nobody comes to the Father, but through me", please learn, remember, practice this, your salvation depends on it, and you are the only one who can do anything about that, its YOUR responsibility. Dont be decieved. While there may be some aspects of all the world's religions that have "valuble" lessons, there is only 1 true God.

    George Harrison was a very spiritual person. When The Beatles went to India in 1966, it was George who was leading them all to go. From that time he immersed himself in the Hindu religion and lived the rest of his life studying the Hindu philosophy. That is one of the things that made The Beatles great. They each had a different personality and thoughts, and when they came together, it made them something special that over fifty years later, people still cannot get enough of them. I love The Beatles, and will enjoy their music for the rest of my life.

    All four of the Beatles were attractive and talented in different ways. Paul was "the cute one" who had a knack for writing catchy, singable, radio-friendly tunes, John was the intellectual who liked to play with the rules of writing songs, George was "the quiet one" but he was spiritual and had just as much of a wicked sense of humor as the others, and Ringo was the lovable guy with the puppy dog face who was actually a badass on the drums.

    A song by George Harrison, released in November 1970 on his triple album All Things Must Pass. It was also released as a single, Harrison's first as a solo artist, and topped charts worldwide; it was the biggest-selling single of 1971 in the UK. In America and Britain, the song was the first number-one single by an ex-Beatle. One of my Favorites! I thank my Father for my knowledge of the Beatles and/Members!

    Believe it or not, George Harrison got in trouble for this song. It was said that he stole the melody from the Chiffon's "He's so fine." I think Harrison had to pay them. Not sure.

    @Bill McKay I hear it, but I'm one of those people who can pick out pieces from songs and relate it to others. The first time I heard this song I remember saying it just He's So Fine, but slower. He even said himself that he thought he came up with something new but he heard so much music that he hadn't realised it was already written.

    @Bill McKay It was judged that Harrison subconsciously used the melody line of "He's So Fine" and he had to pay for it. However, since Allen Klein who was George Harrison's manager at the time of the recording of "My Sweet Lord" later bought the publishing of "He's So Fine" after Harrison terminated him. The court declared Klein was unlawfully interfering, Klein was getting paid as Harrison 's manager and suing him at the same time for "My Sweet Lord" . As a result the court declared Harrison paid enough and awarded Harrison the publishing ownership of "He So Fine" in the United States. So George Harrison, now his Estate, owns both the publishing rights of "My Sweet Lord" and "He's So Fine".

    I think he paid 13million. The singers on other record felt bad and gave back money or royalties I think. Also Harrison brought the right back or even the publishing company so owns it.......I think as I read something a while back.

    One of the Pythons (I think Eric Idle, but not sure) said that George wanted to finance one of their films, I believe it was Life of Brian. It was a lot of money, and Idle asked him why he would take the chance and George simply said, "I want to see it".

    Yeah sure, he was sued for it sounding like "He's so fine" and had to pay. But the fact of the matter is there are hundreds of songs, that sound like that. He intended to sound like a gospel song, so he could put the Krishna chant into a traditional gospel setting. That's the unique thing about it. He should never have been sued because you can't copyright a chord progression, especially one that's been used so many times. And the melody is so common that many artists could sue each other, and it would become one big sue-fest. My Sweet Lord was number one in the charts across the world, including UK and US during 1970-71 - I love the entire album - All Things Must Pass.

    I took it to mean George was presented with all these gurus and such, and his response was always, "The Lord". He took their inspiration, and made it his own. He didn't disagree with them, or their views. Instead, he made their views his own, and chalked it all up to God. What a beautiful take on a different culture.

The man I believed him to be maybe didn't have to be sued if he was in the wrong. As for Hinduism if I'm not mistaken teaches peace to and for themselves and mankind. For those who treat us with respect let us respect them also. I believe we everyone should reach out to each other with understanding and love each other regardless of our differences. Love makes the world go around. Let us be a kinder and gentler nation. That was a quote but I forgot where I heard it. ❤✌to one and all. Good night and sweet dreams to all.
