The article reflects on a song deeply rooted in tradition, experienced by the speaker in a Krishna temple during childhood. Initially popularized by George Harrison, the song was introduced to wider audiences by the speaker's band at Glastonbury in 1993. It has since become a staple in their performances, symbolizing a spiritual journey that intertwines philosophy and history. The song evolves with each performance, fostering a reciprocal relationship between the band and audience while celebrating its rich cultural heritage, particularly through the use of Sanskrit lyrics that honor divine themes and figures.
It's not just a song; it's a doorway into thousands of years of tradition... It continues to evolve and surprise you however many times you play it.
You have to have a mood of service towards it because it belongs to the world. It's one of those songs where the band are getting as much benefit as the audience.
