@schpoogie very interesting point. i see people adoring guys like george or john as if they were any gods that made more for world than other "common people" but in the end of the day it was not exactly like that

I'm not sure George said that it was bad to have wealth. His concepts on spirituality were that individuals just need to find their own relationship to God without the help of a specific religion or Church. Charity is fine and all, but it's not everything.

It's not as if he hasn't lost money on other expenditures that didn't purely help him, though. For example, he gave out 3 million GBP for the production of Life of Brian (and its religious message is rather akin to his).

3. If he changed is mind after 40 years thinking 'ohh i should keep my 400 million' then he is still a hypocrite

@subg88

1. If his foundation wasn't about 'giving away greed and money' then he wouldn't have included that bit in the video. But he certainly had greed and money. Oh wow he gave to proceeds to LITMW, so the starving people in Bangladesh had to wait until he produced an album until they could get aid...may i say this again...he had 400 million dollars!!!!

2. Fine, Krishna Consciousness (even though George never claimed any particular religion), K.C is not for me then.

@schpoogie

And you're saying he didn't do it? He gave the entire proceeds of the LIMW album and Give Me Love single to the foundation of which he is speaking about in the interview! Didn't you read my previous post? When he said "the idea is to give the money away" he was talking about the proceeds from the Material World album. Forty years later you're twisting his words to make him look like a hypocrite. I suppose if he was a word twisting punk you'd be singing his praises.

@schpoogie

That's not what he said. I transcribed the entire video in the above comment. Besides, you claimed he said "we need to get rid of money."  See, you are just full of crap. Secondly, Krishna Consciousness and Hinduism are two distinct religions. Educate yourself before you try to miseducate others. Dirty rich? I'd argue Harrison became rich in one of the cleanest ways possible.

[schpoogie]

@subg88 What did he say after that? "if it is about money and greed then it's about giving the greed and money away" Which he didn't do. If Hinduism alows for a person to be dirty rich while others are poor then Hindiusm certainly isnt for me

@schpoogie

Further to claim Harrison 'should' have lived on 50 grand a year if he were spiritual is hogwash. Krishna Consciousness does not teach that a devotee should not acquire wealth, only that wealth should not be acquired through the wrong means, just like most religions. Being a successful musician who produced positive music would not be considered wrong means, except by fascists who think they should tell people how they should behave and what to do with their money.
