The latter couple were among the founding devotees of the London Radha Krishna Temple, whose recordings of chants, including a hit version of the Hare Krishna mantra, Harrison had produced for Apple Records in 1969–70. Harrison also met with Prabhupada at this time and reunited with ISKCON disciples Gurudas and Yamuna. Harrison and Shankar spent a few days in the city, at the Sri Chaitanya Prema Samastbana ashram, on the banks of the Yamuna River there, they meditated, wrote music and discussed 'the art of devotion'. Just to walk in that place is incredible.' In I, Me, Mine, he describes the Vrinadavan tour as 'my most fantastic experience' and says that, at Maharaj's suggestion, he turned the bhajan into a song, titled 'It Is 'He' (Jai Sri Krishna)'.
Harrison later marvelled of Seva Kunj: 'All the trees, which are so ancient, bow down and the branches touch the ground. Late that morning, Harrison and Shankar accompanied Maharaj to Seva Kunj, a park that commemorates Krishna's love for all-night dancing with his gopis (cow-herd girls). Seva Kunj gardens in Vrindavan, one of the locations that inspired Harrison to write the song Discussing 'It Is 'He' (Jai Sri Krishna)' in I, Me, Mine, Harrison recalls that they arrived there at dusk, and adds: 'the whole town is Krishna conscious – everyone, everywhere was chanting 'Hare Krishna' and various permutations on that.' Touring Vrindavan's temples From Benares, Harrison and Shankar then travelled across the state of Uttar Pradesh to Vrindavan, where the Hindu deity Krishna is said to have spent his childhood, thousands of years before. At this time, the two musicians came up with the idea for Ravi Shankar's Music Festival from India – a revue of Indian folk music presented by an orchestra of eighteen pioneers of the genre – and a subsequent joint tour of North America. Harrison went to India in 1974 to attend a ceremony in honour of Shankar's new home, in Benares, on the banks of the River Ganges. While the latter track reflected the singer's recent indulgences with drugs and alcohol, 'It Is 'He' documented what author Simon Leng terms 'a spiritual epiphany for Harrison' in the Hindu holy city of Vrindavan.
The visit led to Harrison writing two songs that would appear on his Dark Horse album later that year: 'It Is 'He' (Jai Sri Krishna)' and 'Simply Shady'. In January and February 1974, he visited India part-way through a period that he describes in his autobiography, I, Me, Mine (1980), as 'the naughty years', coinciding with the end of his marriage to Pattie Boyd. This was due to the 'craziness' taking place in his life, Harrison continued, which sat at odds with the spiritual goals represented by these friends. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder of the Hare Krishna movement, or more formally the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). In a 1994 interview held at Ravi Shankar's home in California, George Harrison referred to the reluctance he used to feel before visiting Shankar in India or meeting with A.C. it became a fantastic, blissful experience for me. I was a stiff Westerner when we started off, but there was a moment when the atmosphere of got to me, melting all the bullshit away. 'It Is 'He' was the last overtly devotional song released under Harrison's name until the posthumously issued 'Brainwashed' in 2002. With his spiritual pronouncements during the tour proving similarly unwelcome to many music critics, Harrison subsequently withdrew from making such public statements of Hindu religiosity until producing Shankar's Chants of India album in 1996. The song failed to gain the favourable reception afforded his earlier productions in that style, however, such as 'My Sweet Lord', 'Hare Krishna Mantra' and 'Give Me Love'. 'It Is 'He' (Jai Sri Krishna)' continued Harrison's fusion of the Hindu bhajan tradition with Western pop and rock. Besides Harrison, the musicians on the recording include Billy Preston, Tom Scott and Emil Richards, all of whom played in his 1974 tour band and contributed to Shankar's concurrent release, Shankar Family & Friends. Recorded between August and October 1974, the track features an unusual mix of musical styles and instrumentation – including gospel-style keyboards, folk-rock acoustic guitar, Indian string and percussion instruments, and Moog synthesizer. 'It Is 'He' serves as a rare example of an overtly religious song on Dark Horse. HD Quality Season: 1.Despite the devotional nature of the song, Harrison wrote it part-way through a period of divergence from the spiritual goals he had espoused in his previous works, particularly Living in the Material World (1973).
