Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Dear Eduardo, I have not seen the BBC documentary that you refer to. I have heard that Ravi Shankar had given George a copy of the Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda when the Beatles visited India. While searching George Harrison and Vivekananda on Google I came upon a site where George Harrison had a live web-chat in 2001 a few months before he died. Here is a quote from the chat: Digital Dish Diva says: doodah says: Where were you spiritually then when you wrote the lyrics for " My Sweet Lord, " and where are you now spiritually? Have you grown? George Harrison says: Swami Vivekananda said " If there is a God, we must see him. And if there is a soul we must perceive it. " In the West they still argue if God really exists. Basically, I am in the same place. The song really came from Swami Vivekananda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
