George Harrison

Let’s follow his life, his years with the Beatles and after, what Hinduism meant to him and how it influenced his songs. The program is based on the Quest book, Working Class Mystic: A Spiritual Biography of George Harrison by Gary Tillery. Gary used an extensive bibliography, including George’s own words. We will analyze some of George’s songs in light of his beliefs and experiences.

The following Sunday, June 12, 2016, 2-4 pm, is a Centennial Sunday, with a program titled  “Two Views of Adyar/SE India: 1938 and 2015”. We’re revisiting a topic discussed many times during our 100 year history – the international headquarters of the Theosophical Society. What is it like for a Westerner volunteering there for months, in a different social environment but surrounded by the spiritual influences of two of the Society’s founders, Helena P. Blavatsky and William Olcott.
