There is a wonderful book by Olivia Harrison on the life of George Harrison I saw in a book store, Barnes and Noble last Saturday. There is a segment of it called, The Pilgrimage. There are some awe inspiring photos of George Harrison in India wearing doti and a bead bag around his neck visiting holy places. There are also pictures of him with sadhus There is also statement by Ringo who said he is a Hindu/Christian/Buddhist who owes his opening of his spiritual eyes to George Harrison.
I reflect back to my early days of seeking spiritual life and it was George Harrison's music that influenced my path of seeking spiritual enlightenment through the Indian tradition. We must not forget who was the person who inspired George Harrison through his spiritual path. It was Ravi Shankar, George's personal friend who introduced and accompanied George on his pilgrimages to India and faith in the vedic paths.
