I guess that's the business of devotees - to make you think of God.
George Harrison
Image
Music is sound, vibrations, whereas paintings are vibrations of whatever you pick up. It's not actually an energy vibration you get from a groovy painting, but music and sound seem to travel along vibrations, you know the whole thing with mantras is to repeat and repeat those sounds... it's vibrations in everything like prayers and hymns.

Prabhupada's definitely affected the world in an absolute way. What he was giving us was the highest literature, the highest knowledge. I mean there just isn't anything higher.

Hare Krishna, Peace and Love

We're God too but we don't realise it.

That's the real beauty of chanting - you directly connect with God. I have no doubt that by saying Krishna over and over again, He can come and dance on the tongue. The main thing, though, is to keep in touch with God.

Badfinger was pretty good. It was a very sad story, though, because the guy, he ended up killing himself, Pete Ham, who was a lovely fellow, he was a good guitar player and a great singer, he wrote, the most famous tune I would imagine is Without You, you know the Harry Nilsson record.

They used us as an excuse to go mad and then blamed it on us. Gandhi says create and preserve the image of your choice. The image of my choice is not Beatle George - those who want that can go and see Wings. Why live in the past? Be here now.

All religions are branches of one big tree.

In the end, this world will go under because of the stupidity of people.

We used to send up the idea of getting to the top. John would shout, Where are we going, fellas? We'd shout back, To the top, Johnny!

Oh yeah, gossip. I heard you on the secret wireless. You know the devil's radio child.

I don't feel the need for unusual or glamorous foods like caviar, and I tend more towards ordinary, satisfying food.

A lot of people went underground with their spiritual life in the seventies, but they're out there in little nooks and crannies and in the countryside, people who look and dress straight, insurance salesmen types, but they're really meditators and chanters, closet devotees.

The Guru and Disciple relationship is where the person has a 100% belief in the Guru and that way you put your trust in the Guru, that he's going to get you out of this mess. If you are a Christian, then Christ is your Guru, and they're all disciples of Christ.

There's the whole significance of Krishna as the flute player who awakens our consciousness. It doesn't necessarily have to be a flute because for me it was a sitar or a guitar or even Elvis Presley doing Heartbreak Hotel. It was like Krishna's flute calling me somewhere. It's just really simple when we can remember.

I hope somebody does this to all my crap demos when I'm dead, making them into hit songs.

It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.

I'll give up this sort of touring madness certainly, but music-everything is based on music. No, I'll never stop my music.

It just annoyed me that people got so into the Beatles. Beatles, Beatles, Beatles. It's not that I don't like talking about them. I've never stopped talking about them. It's Beatles this, Beatles that, Beatles, Beatles, Beatles, Beatles. Then in the end, it's like Oh, sod off with the Beatles, you know?
