Bhakta George Harrison Ki Jai!
by Arjunanatha dasa

George was instrumental in helping devotees establish Krishna Consciousness in England. He arranged the recording of some highly successful and classic records around 1970, providing huge publicity for Hare Krishna and an income for the early devotees such as his great friend Mukunda Swami. He then donated his stately home, now known as Bhaktivedanta Manor, one of ISKCON's main international centres.

Srila Prabhupada only ever had praise to give of George, and dissuaded him from joining the movement full-time, saying that putting Krishna into his music and providing an example of a famous Krishna-conscious musician was the best service he could render to Krishna.

Bhakta George Harrison Ki Jai!

Your servant,
Arjunanatha dasa
