‘It Is ‘He’ (Jai Sri Krishna’ is the final song on George Harrison’s fifth solo album Dark Horse.

It was Harrison’s last song to be explicitly devotional to Krishna, and the only such song on the album, marking a contrast with his previous release Living In The Material World. See more…

What I did was take that old chant ‘Jai Krishna, Jai Krishna, Krishna, Jai Krishna, Jai Sri Krishna, Jai Radhe, Jai Radhe, Radhe, Jai Radhe, Jai Sri Radhe…’ and then wrote the English words in between the verses.

‘It Is He (Jai Sri Krsna)’ was for Sripad Maharaj; a wonderful, humble, Holy man.

Been listening to this since I heard it on that “Harrisonette” video that features it. It is a very beautiful song which makes me think of the outdoors whenever I listen to it…

I like it, too! I can picture him singing it while sitting like this, perhaps

…Unfortunately, since my first memorable encounter with it was through the Scarionette, its associations have been forever tainted for me. paul-mccartney

I just heard this today on my George marathon. It is quite a nice song. A great way to start off one’s morning.

Kind of a funny song isn’t it? Its great, but George’s chant lyrics always sound a little goofy to me because I have no idea what he is saying.

I always liked this song ever since I first listened to Dark Horse . Fortunately, my first exposure to it had nothing to do with that marionette. a-hard-days-night-george-10

Lately I’ve been having isolation visions that include this song & chant. In his autobiography, George writes that the song is based “On my most fantastic experience”. Here are the pertinent pages from I Me Mine (including his handwritten lyrics) and a picture of a portion of the Vrindavan temples.
