Mission Accomplished!
It's the summer of 1968 when Pat Kinzer, President of The Official George Harrison Fan Club in the U.S., travels to England along with friends to make her biggest dream come true where she meets The Quiet Beatle for the first time. Pat had begun exchanging letters with George's Mum, Louise, as early as 1964, and in time had become well known to the family.

I can't believe how much stuff these girls shove at him to sign, and how patient he is dealing with all of it.

EDIT: the imbed isn't working here. Stand by.

George: Each individual has to burn out his own karma and escape from the chains of maya, reincarnation and all that. The best thing anyone can give to humanity is God consciousness...But first you have to concentrate on your own spiritual advancement; so in a sense we have to become selfish to become selfless.
Mukunda: What about trying to solve the problems of life without employing the spiritual process?
George: Life is like a piece of string with a lot of knots tied in it. The knots are the karma you're born with from all your past lives, and the object of human life is to try and undo all those knots. That's what chanting and meditation in God consciousness can do. Otherwise you simply tie another ten knots each time you try to undo one knot. That's how karma works. I mean, we're now the results of our past actions, and in the future we'll be the results of the actions we're performing now. A little understanding of "As you sow, so shall you reap" is important, because then you can't blame the condition you're in on anyone else. You know that it's by your own actions you're able to get more in a mess or out of one. It's your own actions that relieve or bind you.

Alas, this magnificent property has fallen into disrepair in recent years, and Olivia has since sold it.

Everybody is looking for Krishna.

Some don't realise that they are, but they are.

Krishna is GOD, the Source of all that exists, the Cause of all that is, was or ever will be.

As God is unlimited, HE has many names.

Allah-Buddha-Jehovah-Rama: All are Krishna, all are ONE.

God is not abstract, he has both the impersonal, and the personal aspects to his personality which is SUPREME, ETERNAL, BLISSFUL, and full of knowledge. As a single drop of water has the same qualities as an ocean of water, so has our consciousness the qualities of GOD's consciousness...but through our identification and attachment with material energy (physical body, sense pleasures, material possessions, ego, etc.) our true TRANSCENDENTAL CONSCIOUSNESS has been polluted, and like a dirty mirror it is unable to reflect a pure image. With many lives our association with the temporary has grown. This impermanent body, a bag of bones and flesh, is mistaken for our true self, and we have accepted this temporary condition to be final.

Through all ages, great saints have remained as living proof that this non-temporary, permanent state of GOD CONSCIOUSNESS can be revived in all living souls. Each soul is potentially Divine.

Krishna says in BHAGAVAD GITA "Steady in the Self, being freed from all material contamination, the yogi achieves the highest perfectional stage of happiness in touch with the Supreme Consciousness."

YOGA (a scientific method of GOD (SELF relalization) is the process by which we purify our consciousness, stop further pollution, and arrive at the state of Perfection, full KNOWLEDGE full BLISS.

If there is a God, I want to see him. It's pointless to believe in something without proof, and Krishna Consciousness and meditation are methods where you can actually obtain GOD perception. You can actually see GOD, and hear him, play with HIM. It, might sound crazy, but HE is actually there, actually with you.

There are many yogic paths, Raja, Jnana, Hatha, Kriya, Karma, Bhakti which are all acclaimed by the MASTERS of each method.

SWAMI BHAKTIVIEDANTA is as his title says a BHAKTI yogi following the path of DEVOTION. By serving GOD through each thought, word, and deed and by chanting of his holy names, the devotee quickly develops God-Consciousness.

By chanting: HARE KRISHNA, HARE KRISHNA
KRISHNA, KRISHNA, HARE HARE
HARE RAMA, HARE RAMA
RAMA RAMA, HARE HARE

One inevitably arrives at KRISHNA Consciousness. (The proof of the pudding is in the eating!)

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE (KRISHNA) HARE BOL

This totally tickled my funny bone, and I agree with its sentiments. Scroll down a bit to find him, and you'll even see Tom Petty on the way, and Muppets further down.:)
