The Beatles are now history, and it would be unhealthy to try to make my way as a former member. I must admit I occasionally listen to our records, but usually it's not deliberate. I'm more concerned with the present, with working out my own individual style and producing something new and worthwhile.

The more people wake up spiritually, the more they'll begin to realize the depth of what Prabhupada was saying - how much he gave.

The aim is to get as much going out the back as is coming in. You've got to do that because for everything you get in you've got to give something out.

You can't understand the first thing about God unless you love Him. These big so - called Vedic scholars - they don't necessarily love Krishna, so they can't understand Him and give Him to us.

And so my music, it doesn't matter if I did it 20 years ago or if I did it tomorrow. It doesn't go with trends. My trousers don't get wider and tighter every six months. My music just stays what it is, and that's the way I like it.

It would be great if everyone chanted Hare Krishna. Everybody would benefit by doing it.

I know, by the Lord's grace, I am a small part in the cosmic play.
