I was given this little book as a gift, mostly because it
includes an interview with George Harrison, and a shorter one with John Lennon
and Yoko Ono. It’s a pretty complete book though, regardless of its size. It
even gives you instructions on how to chant at the end, and how to make your
own chanting beads. I have read a lot about meditation techniques, but this is
the first that I have seen focusing so intensely on Hare Krishna chanting. It’s
a technique that I’d like to gain more experience with.
There’s also a brief biography on the Swami and his works,
as well as a kind of random story about how another teacher reformed a
prostitute. I’d say that it was included to show the parallel between him and
Jesus, but I’m not sure.
Not going to lie, probably the only reason why anyone would
be interested in this work is the interview with George Harrison. It is a very
good one, it discusses spirituality and its effect on his work a lot, even
pulling specific lyrics to show its influence. A great read even if you already
have extensive knowledge about his career.
So this is a short read, but it is very illuminating, from
multiple perspectives. Grab it if you get the chance!
