George Harrison’s Death
a Great Loss to the Krishna Community
ISKCON UK Media Release

Hare Krishna devotees mourn the passing of George Harrison and extend their deep symphathy and affection to his family.

George Harrison met Srila Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) in 1969, in England. George Harrison developed a close and affectionate relationship with Srila Prabhupada, and their association certainly influenced his music and his spirituality.

George Harrison donated Bhaktivedanta Manor, Hertfordshire, UK, to the Hare Krishna devotees in 1973, and ISKCON feels greatly indebted to him for his generosity. The Manor has since served as one of the most important Hindu temples in Europe.

George was an intensly private person in all aspects of his life, including his spirituality, but he was loved and admired by many devotees of Krishna who respected his attitude of humility and service.

There will be a memorial services for George Harrison to be held at Bhaktivedanta Manor and temples around the world during over the next week.
