Krishna Manthra and George Harrison

In my previous posts I have mentioned about The Beatles, the best ever western softrock music group. 

In the 1960s, during their tour to our country, the members of the group got immensely interested in Hindu philosophy and Indian classical music. George Harrison became involved in Krishna Manthra and Paul McCartney became a disciple of  sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar. Let me share a bit of George's experience in this post.
