BRAINWASHED
by George Harrison
Brainwashed in our childhood
Brainwashed by the school
Brainwashed by our teachers
And Brainwashed by all their rules
Brainwashed by our leaders
By our Kings and Queens
Brainwashed in the open and brainwashed behind the scenes
God God God
A voice cries in the wilderness
God God God
It was on the longest night
God God God
An eternity of darkness
God God God
Someone turned out the spiritual light
Brainwashed by the Nikkei
Brainwashed by Dow Jones
Brainwashed by the FTSE
Nasdaq and secure loans
Brainwashed us from Brussels
Brainwashing us in Bonn
Brainwashing us in Washington
Westminster in London
God God God
You are the wisdom that we seek
God God God
The lover that we miss
God God God
Your nature is eternity
God God God
You are Existence, Knowledge, Bliss
The soul does not love. It is love itself
It does not exist. It is existence itself
It does not know. It is knowledge itself

They brainwashed my great uncle
Brainwashed my cousin Bob
They even got my grandma when she was working for the mob
Brainwash you while you’re sleeping
While in your traffic jam
Brainwash you while you’re weeping
While still a baby in your pram
Brainwashed by the military
Brainwashed under duress
Brainwashed by the media
You’re brainwashed by the press
Brainwashed by computers
Brainwashed by mobile phones
Brainwashed by the satellites
Brainwashed to the bone
God God God
Won’t you lead us through this mess
God God God
From the places of concrete
God God God
Nothing’s worse than ignorance
God God God
I just won’t accept defeat
God God God
Must be something I forgot
God God God
Down on Bullshit Avenue
God God God
If we can only stop the rot
God God God
Wish that you’d brainwash us too

HOW TO KNOW GOD, ON PAGE 130
In the original Bhagavad-gītā As It Is (1972) we find this sloka on page 130
2. Contents of the Gītā Summarized
TEXT 46
TRANSLATION
All purposes that are served by the small pond can at once be served by the great reservoirs of water. Similarly, all the purposes of the Vedas can be served to one who knows the purpose behind them.PURPORT
The rituals and sacrifices mentioned in the karma-kāṇḍa division of the Vedic literature are to encourage gradual development of self-realization. And the purpose of self-realization is clearly stated in the Fifteenth Chapter of the Bhagavad-gītā (15.15): the purpose of studying the Vedas is to know Lord Kṛṣṇa, the primeval cause of everything. So, self-realization means understanding Kṛṣṇa and one’s eternal relationship with Him. The relationship of the living entities with Kṛṣṇa is also mentioned in the Fifteenth Chapter of Bhagavad-gītā. The living entities are parts and parcels of Kṛṣṇa; therefore, revival of Kṛṣṇa consciousness by the individual living entity is the highest perfectional stage of Vedic knowledge. This is confirmed in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (3.33.7) as follows:aho bata śvapaco’to garīyān
yaj-jihvāgre vartate nāma tubhyam
tepus tapas te juhuvuḥ sasnur āryā
brahmānūcur nāma gṛṇanti ye te.“O my Lord, a person who is chanting Your holy name, although born of a low family like that of a cāṇḍāla [dog eater], is situated on the highest platform of self-realization. Such a person must have performed all kinds of penances and sacrifices according to Vedic rituals and studied the Vedic literatures many, many times after taking his bath in all the holy places of pilgrimage. Such a person is considered to be the best of the Āryan family.” So one must be intelligent enough to understand the purpose of the Vedas, without being attached to the rituals only, and must not desire to be elevated to the heavenly kingdoms for a better quality of sense gratification. It is not possible for the common man in this age to follow all the rules and regulations of the Vedic rituals and the injunctions of the Vedāntas and the Upaniṣads. It requires much time, energy, knowledge and resources to execute the purposes of the Vedas. This is hardly possible in this age. The best purpose of Vedic culture is served, however, by chanting the holy name of the Lord, as recommended by Lord Caitanya, the deliverer of all fallen souls. When Lord Caitanya was asked by a great Vedic scholar, Prakāśānanda Sarasvatī, why He, the Lord, was chanting the holy name of the Lord like a sentimentalist instead of studying Vedānta philosophy, the Lord replied that His spiritual master found Him to be a great fool, and thus he asked Him to chant the holy name of Lord Kṛṣṇa. He did so, and became ecstatic like a madman. In this age of Kali, most of the population is foolish and not adequately educated to understand Vedānta philosophy; the best purpose of Vedānta philosophy is served by inoffensively chanting the holy name of the Lord. Vedānta is the last word in Vedic wisdom, and the author and knower of the Vedānta philosophy is Lord Kṛṣṇa; and the highest Vedantist is the great soul who takes pleasure in chanting the holy name of the Lord. That is the ultimate purpose of all Vedic mysticism.

George liked Formula One car racing (Grand Prix), which used to be held in Adelaide but has since gone to Melbourne. In the 80’s I cooked up a big pizza for George and Maha Sringha (then Swami) took it down to his hotel for him.
A funny story ………
When George was at the race track (in the section for all the VIP’s) a well known (Barossa Valley) winemaker, Wolf Blass was talking to George for about half an hour. Afterwards everyone ran over to Wolf Blass and were saying to him “What did he say ….. What did he say!” Wolf Blass replied “Who?” and they said “George, George!” ………… He was talking to George all that time but he didn’t know who he was!
Thank you very much, dear deevoties!!!
I’m happy to be a part of Srila Gurudeva Bhaktivedanta Swami family!!!
Very inspired post!!!
Jaya Shrila Prabhupada!!!
Jaya all Prabhupadanugas!!!
Yep, not the only one who makes a song about it, but there is no benefit unless people wake up to changing their ways of killing our brothers and sisters for the satisfaction of their tastebuds and exploiting any and everything for personal profits, in short behaving like animals. The difference is animals don’t get karma for behaving like animals, humans do and have to pay dearly for these transgressions, not only in one but in millions of lifetimes.
Brainwashed
Tom MacDonald
Half the country fell asleep but they scream woke
We’re distracted by vaccines and TV shows
Politics, celebrity, gossip, popular neat quotes
Black lives, white lives, which lives mean most?
We only dedicate one day to remember our fallen soldiers
The men and women who died young
But if you come out the closet as Caitlyn Jenner
You’re a hero and you get a whole Pride month
The most dangerous pandemic’s propaganda from these clowns
Only mask that’s gonna save us is duct tape on they mouths
Don’t speak, we don’t need to defund police
Need to defund the media who lies through they teeth, like
Big Pharma doesn’t cure you, dog
‘Cause every patient that gets cured is a customer lost
And big oil runs the world, the only wars that get fought
Are with the countries who have natural resources they want
Heard ’em claiming if a white man braids his hair
And likes rap, he’s appropriating culture
But if a white man acts too white, he’s white trash
He’s a racist, he’s a bigot, he’s a monster
Let’s just have the conversation
Not every liberal is dumb, not all Republicans are racist
The government wants everybody fighting with their neighbors
‘Cause they know that if we get along, we’ll probably go against ’em
They can’t stop us, ’cause we’re ready to fight
Try to brainwash us, but we won’t let freedom die
The whole world’s brainwashed
(Everybody pick a team, start a riot in the streets)
The whole world’s brainwashed
(It’s us against them, it ain’t you against me)
How did monkeys become people and people turned into sheep?
They put fluoride in the water that’s keeping us all asleep
Claim they want what’s best for us, I find that hard to believe
‘Cause they been selling us cigarettes since we was eighteen
Fake news, fake woke, distract, and divide
You’re either right or you’re left or you’re black or you’re white
Big tech don’t need a microchip to hack in your life
‘Cause the phone inside your pocket is a tracking device
And I don’t know what I’m more sick of, rappers or Joe Biden
Looking like he ate a hundred Xanax for dinner
‘Cause censoring the president and kicking him off Twitter
Is a bigger threat to freedom than foreign ballistic missiles
You don’t trust the police or the government but you want
People giving up their right to own a firearm
Why would you be comfortable if police and the government
The only people on the planet with the right to buy a gun?
White privilege getting amplified to reinforce division
It convinces white people that they’re favored by their skin
And black people getting angry
‘Cause they’re told they’re treated different
So the conflict is between us and never with the system
Let’s just have the conversation
Not every liberal is dumb, not all Republicans are racist
The government wants everybody fighting with their neighbors
‘Cause they know that if we get along, we’ll probably go against ’em
They can’t stop us, ’cause we’re ready to fight
Try to brainwash us, but we won’t let freedom die
The whole world’s brainwashed
(Everybody pick a team, start a riot in the streets)
The whole world’s brainwashed
(It’s us against them, it ain’t you against me)
Step one, train the people only to consume
Step two, infiltrate adults with the news
Step three, indoctrinate the children through the schools
And the music and the apps on the phones that they use
Step four, separate the right from the left
Step five, separate the white from the black
Step six, separate the rich from the poor
Use religion and equality to separate ’em more
Step seven, fabricate a problem made of lies
Step eight, put it on the news every night
Step nine, when people start to fight and divide
Take control, this is called situational design
They can’t stop us, ’cause we’re ready to fight
Try to brainwash us, but we won’t let freedom die
The whole world’s brainwashed
(Everybody pick a team, start a riot in the streets)
The whole world’s brainwashed
(It’s us against them, it ain’t you against me)
