George Harrison had a long relationship with Srila Prabhupada and his Hare Krishna movement.
Very early George became a devotee and used his money for Krisahna by, for example, paying the full cost of printing Srila Prabhupada’s, Krsna Book and by purchasing Bhaktivedanta Manor, ISKCON’s headquarters in England.
George also sang about Krishna in his music. The most famous George Harrison Krishna song is, of course, “My Sweet Lord,” but many of George’s other songs are about Krishna also.
In the 1990’s ISKCON had their first big reunion of the desciples of Srila Prabhupada at Bhaktivedanta Manor, the property donated to ISKCON by George, so naturally George attended.
Not that it was rare, George often chanted Hare Krishna with the devotees, but usually there is no film, no recording. Even in this case we see the security people at Bhaktivedanta Manor trying to stop our brave cameraman from capturing this special moment in history.
We have just discovered new archival footage of George Harrison leading a kirtan and chanting Hare Krishna at that Prabhupada Festival and here it is.

Pamho agtacbsp,Thank you to remind us about a great soul with the noble heart of a vaisnava even if he could do both business materially and spiritually he had a big desire to be full dedicate to Srila prabhupada service ,he got initiated by the ritvik and received the spiritual name of sriman haridas,although living outside the temple and dressing like a karmi he was a great devotee, his devotional actions in bhakti yoga show his selfless nature,I still listen his album song of Sri Sri radha London isvara remind me when I became devotee by listen his music.sriman haridas ki jay I’m sure Srila prabhupada didn’t forget him I mean rescue him at time of death.

Pamho agtacbsp,here with george we can see a karmi with the heart of a devotee,Is not a devotee with the heart of a karmi like outside iskcon,george externally look like someone who act materially but internally act spiritually,Sri govinda as the original kama deva act in a similar way but is not easy to understand the powerful way of the action especially when is mixed with karma vikarma and akarma.
