Independent Project

So as in the last post, I had explained that I would be talking about The Beatles for my independent project. I read an interesting article from the view point of another person about George Harrison on George Harrison and India. It was an interesting article in the fact that at the beginning, he had stated that The Beatles were racist against Indians in a movie of theirs. George Harrison is the one who became more close to Hinduism and was the first to become intrigued by it. The Beatles had started a liking for Hinduism by wearing clothes that were from India. They also wrote several songs that were based off of Hinduism. George had even taken a strong liking for Krishna. Of course, to the Westerners who started to get involved with Hinduism started what was called the "Hippie Movement". I do believe that The Beatles influenced a lot of Hinduism throughout the world and I'm becoming more and more fascinated by why they got so spiritually connected to it. Possibly just because it made them happy?
