GEORGE HARRISON - MY SWEET LORD REACTION

[@emilybazeddi1914]

He was a beautiful man. This moves my heart. The song can reach a spiritual person no matter the creed. Great reaction!

I am really interested with your comment if you don't mind please friendship with me 🥰 😘🥺

[@keriford54]

George grew up in a Catholic family but wasn't particularly religious, he had a religious awakening in 1966 through Indian spirituality, figures like Paramahansa Yogananda and Swami Vivekananda influenced him as did his friendship with Ravi Shankar. Vivekananada taught that all religions are all just different pathways to God and that is what George is showing by switching between Hallelujah and Hare Krishna these are just different ways of expressing devotion to God.

[@melaniesharp397]

If more people understood this concept (which I share) perhaps wars/hate crimes over religion wouldn’t exist.

That very distinctive guitar playing that lets you know, immediately, that this is the legendary George Harrison! Such a beautiful song, to be interpreted any way we want. Or just to enjoy the precious sound. He had been spending a lot of time in India, so he might have been speaking Hindi? It’s not important. Just enjoy. Wonderful choice Jayy! I’m proud to have joined your family today. 🌺✌️

[@christinerobinson9372]

You heard it right. The background singers are singing to the Hindu gods Krishna and Rama. George was exploring religions and spirituality. The Beatles did spend time in India learning about Hinduism. The experience affected George and John more than Paul or Ringo.

[@chitownlee]

George wrote a lot of great Beatles songs. Like Something, Here Comes The Sun and many more.

[@redpine8665]

Frank Sinatra thought 'Something' was the greatest love song he ever heard.

[@dennytaylor1005]

George is my fav Beatle. John is omg. George, the quiet Beatle,was a master guitarist, and sang from his soul.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Jayy, two songs written and sung by George that are a must hear: Something While My Guitar Gently Weeps

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Ringo Starr "Photograph" & "It Don't Come Easy"...Classics.

[@AlBarzUK]

“Hare Krishna, Hare Rama” is part of a religious mantra in Hindu that calls upon God’s energy and to dispel evil. (Simplistic description.)

[@quixote6942]

George went on a Deep Spiritual Quest. He went to India and studied under the Maharishi Meshi Yogi. The "Language" was the names of Indian Religious Figures.

[@RmeBraTT]

HI Jayy... he is singing praise to God -- first in Hebrew (halelujiah), and he is also singing of Buddhism. And the language is Indian (sanskrit). And, yes, we all feel that connection when we listen to this. Peace to you, and I appreciate your sincerity. Keep on keepin' on. Thank you for posting

[@willieclark7065]

When I first heard " My Sweet Lord " , it was touching my soul spiritually and I felt so peaceful and it would bring tears to my eyes . I was confused by background and didn't understand until I heard about when the Beatles went to India and their whole life changed when they came home . When I listen to the end , I just kind of keep repeating My Sweet Lord instead of whatever they were saying . All and all , it was a beautiful song and I can see from your reaction that it touched your heart . 🙏❤😊

[@happymethehappyone8300]

George Harrison "What Is Life"...Nuff Said.

[@alondra2190]

You got reason!!, he was handsome, but too... very talented, charismatic, sweet, unique, he was great, and even I without be a believer; for me this song is very beautiful. I don´t know, I think that when someone that believes in some religion says to you: "God bless you", it feels beautiful, at least to me PS: Maybe you have already reacted or listened to "All Those Years Ago", a song by him too, but if not... you should do it, that song is also beautiful, the beautiful lyric is. The song was wroten for Lennon after he died

[@lauraheim8381]

Best reaction to any song I've seen period.

[@cmc8375]

George was always quite spiritual, and got into the Hare Krishna movement , following the Beatles retreat to stay with the Maharishi in India 💙✊

[@ultantierney8562]

Quoted from 'The Beatles Bible' : 'Hidden among the backing vocals towards the end of the song was the entire text of Vedic Sanskrit prayer. Gururbrahmaa Guru visnuh, Gururdevo Mahesvarah Gurussaakshaat Param Brahma Tasmai Shri Gurave Namhah The prayer translates as: “The teacher is Brahma, the teacher is Visnu, the teacher is the Lord Mahesvarah. Verily the teacher is the supreme Brahman, to that respected teacher I bow down.” Harrison would have delighted in masquerading such an elaborate message of devotion amid the otherwise simple incantations.'

[@guyinnyc1]

you picked up the messages he was trying to convey and yes those chants were indian Hindu but first started out as western chrtistian hallelujuas. One of his messages was that longing to find God or a higher power is universal. it is a hypnotic tune for sure, one my favorites.

[@williampearson9679]

My understanding is that it was a Vedic prayer in Sanskrit, the spiritual language of India.

[@guyinnyc1]

@@williampearson9679 could have been, not an expert other than I read it was Indian chants ...

[@RDRussell2]

"One of his messages..."? I agree, spot on! "Hallelujah", "Hare Krishna"...all expressed through the universal language of music. It's a shame so many use religion to divide us; George is strongly suggesting we are more alike than we are different. Strange thing: I've heard this song hundreds of times, and I never, ever though to call it "hypnotic," but I did think that exact word during this video. And here is your comment calling it hypnotic as well! Great reaction, picking up on so many things on just the first listen.

[@lathedauphinot6820]

In 1967 The Beatles, their wives, and a few friends, including Mick Jagger, went to India for a month looking for enlightenment, vacation, and rest, without fans all over them for a little while. George was fascinated, more than the others, by Indian philosophy, religion, and music. He helped introduce sitar master Ravi Shankar and Indian classical music to a western audience, used Indian instruments on Beatles songs, and studied everything he could. Harrison said that the Hindi words of this song were just another way of saying “Hallelujah”, was talked into releasing this song, and was a little uncomfortable about it because it was a private prayer of his. Then it went to #1!

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Beautiful song

[@dennytaylor1005]

This song was his influence from his time in India. All Gods ... he was spiritual. This song was a mantra to the spiritual, Christian, Hindu, etc. Vishnu, Krishna, Brahma, Shwarah, etc. For some of his other GREAT songs, try "Give Me Love", "Something", "Here Comes the Sun", and of course, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

[@EricScroggs]

Good observation. I think it’s often overlooked this song is praising the universal God of Love, hence the various chants. George was a smart songwriter. This song’s message is also one of abandoning sectarianism in religion. You can bet that wasn’t accidental when he wrote it.

[@TheScaramongus]

To me, it is an expression of the longing to connect with a higher power. I think that is why it resonates with so many people.

[@Tijuanabill]

The biggest unsung hero of the band, of the 60s, of the various movements, and of just being a kind and decent human. I don't share his religion, but his journey within in, that he expressed through music, was such a gift to humanity, it creates the sort or reverence for him, that he felt for God.

The backing vocals transitioning between Halleluiah, Hare Krishna, and Dalai Lama, while George repeats "My Sweet Lord" is a beautiful admission that all the new things he was learning in India, were all just God, from a different point of view. Is there one god, or is God all gods, or is god within us? Who knows but these harmonies are amazing and the melody is well...heavenly.

[@donaldb1]

Not Dalai Lama. That bit is "Hare Rama". Rama is another Hindu figure. Like Krishna he is an avatar of the god Vishnu.

[@mikecaetano]

Did you notice how long it took before the drums kicked in? I remember hearing this song on the radio on the way home from church back when I was a little kid. That slide guitar really stood out and so did the hallelujah chorus. A decade or so later I played guitar in the youth choir at church and my buddy in the choir and me tried to slip this song into the program but the choir director caught it and told us no. The hare-krishna bits were a step too far for him I suppose. We played an instrumental bit from Pink Floyd instead without telling him and he never knew the difference. Harrison was taken to court over "My Sweet Lord" on the accusation that he plagiarized "He's So Fine" by the Chiffons for this song. He lost the case because the similarities between the songs are clear, but the ruling was that the plagiarism was subconscious so he retained his reputation, legally, but the man was a saint so it hardly mattered in the end. I blame that whole mess on Phil Spector anyway. Check out The Chiffons "He's So Fine" for comparison.

[@onsesejoo2605]

Mahesvara, Gurur Vishnu etc. are directly from "Guru Brahma Mantra". In Buddhism Mahesvara also means The Great Lord. "Guru is Brahma, who is the Lord of Creation, also called as Generator, Guru Vishnu means Guru is Vishnu (Vishnu is the Lord who is called organizer), Guru Devo Maheshwarah means Guru is the Maheshwara (Shiva or the destroyer), Guru Sakshat Parabrahma means Parbrahma viz. the supreme god or almighty." Blind Faith song "Presence Of The Lord" is on the same waters. Inspired by the everyday life, it has got spiritual meanings later on.

Very perceptive. The background vocals are chanting the names of gods in the Hindu religion which he was becoming fascinated with. He became interested in Indian music and though that interested in Hindu religion and meditation after participating in teachings with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi along with the other Beatles.
