Giridhari das: In July 1969 George Harrison produced the Radha Krishna Temple album with the first group of devotees in London. Fifty years later In December 2019 a group of devotees are back in the iconic Abbey Road Studios to record the Maha Mantra once again.
The producer, known as Youth from the band “Killing Joke”, is a highly accomplished award-winning musician and producer who shares spiritual interests and also has connections with Beatles members – working alongside Sir Paul McCartney to produce Paul’s recent albums.
The kirtan group – a selection of artists from the devotee community, Food For All and Hare Krishna Festivals – worked all day with Youth and his team on a colorful collaboration of styles and instruments with the Maha Mantra in the center – to be released to the public in the New Year. *”It was a wonderfully creative day full of love and spiritual friendship for everyone who took part – a great way to celebrate after 50 years and to honor George Harrison and the pioneers of Hare Krishna in the UK ” *said Parasuram who had brought ISKCON style samosas, chutney and an apple-shaped cake for the whole crew.
