Meeting Prabhupada
Recorded: 11/Sep/1969
The meeting of John, Yoko, George Harrison and the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, Prabhupada (aka Swami Bhaktivedanta), at Tittenhurst Park.
Prabhupada: What kind of philosophy are you following? May I ask?
Yoko Ono: We don't follow anything. We are just living.
Prabhupada's claims that his branch of philosophy was the absolute authority was questioned.....
Prabhupada: Krishna is the authority, because Bhagavad-gita was spoken by Krishna. Can you deny that?
John: What about Yogananda, Maharishi, and all these other people who have translated the Gita? How are we to tell that their version isn't also Krishna's word?......... Who says who's actually in the line of descent? I mean, it's just like royalty, Yogananda also claims to be in line, he talks about his guru's guru's guru's guru, like that. Maharishi claimed that all his gurus went way back. I mean, how are we to know?
Prabhupada: Whatever Maharishi may be, his knowledge does not extend up to Krishna.
John: That's what he used to say in exactly the same way about everybody else.
Whilst history shows that George appeared to be convinced, John went on to dismiss the organisation in his song "I found out", however this did not prevent The Bhaktivedanta book trust from issuing a publication in the wake of Lennon's death under the title "Lennon '69 - Search for liberation" which contained excerpts from the conversation and the recollection of a dream that Prabhupada had in which he saw Lennon as a wealthy Indian musician in a previous life.
26 minutes of the conversation are included on the 1995 CD "Inside Interviews: Beatlemania"
