Ravi Shankar and George Harrison, India, 1974; photo by Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images.Q: “So the relationship has had a powerful impact upon both your lives?”George Harrison: “In one way, it’s kind of given me a life. Because if you don’t know who you are and where you’ve come from and where you’re going, really, what is life? You can have all the money in the world and all the glory. But if you don’t know what is the point, then your life is empty. So, in that respect, Ravi — not just Ravi, but he was the main ingredient — patched me into the Vedic tradition. And from that I’ve learned all these things about yoga, about meditation, about what it is, about what are we doing here, about what is the goal. I’ve come to understand incredible stuff, just through pursuing that. Without it, I’d just be a boring old fart.”Ravi Shankar: “To me, George is, I don’t know how to describe it, a son, a friend, someone very dear, and I love him very much. He has given me so much love and respect that my heart is full of it.” - Los Angeles Times, 10 May 1997 (x) -- source link
