I was a Hare Krishna devotee in Los Angeles in November of 1991. I asked the temple president if I could appear with Boy George on stage at his concerts that were about to happen. He said no. Bummer. Awesome song, though. Hare Krishna!
I almost forgot! The high female vocal is Asha Bhosle, one of the most revered singers in Indian history. She has sung on over a thousand Bollywood movies and has been performing for SIXTY years. It would be like having Ella Fitzgerald on a record. She was amazing to record....
I Love this song i play it every day!!! I also love all the Krishnas!!! They are such peaceful and loving people who open their eyes to the world. Well done George!
I'm an atheist but I love the Hare Krishna maha mantra. Its very catchy. Sometimes calming, sometimes stimulating. I stopped eating meat for some reason when I started chanting.
Where do my youth go? Sitting watching old songs with my fantastic memories. Now in my 50's n still dancing like I'm in my 20's. My grown up children don't think of me as young. Are they so wrong. 😀
You know how certain songs you carry all your life, they crop up in your head at certain times depending on your mood? ...well this is one of those songs for me.
The mantra and that happiness is actually reality. And the reason devotees are trying to chant and hear constantly. The material world and anxiety we experience daily is the temporary illusion ;) When you listen or chant you just reconnect to your true nature 🙌🏽🙏🏽
*grin* If you listen to the lyrics correctly, you'll hear some of Boy George's unique irony in there: if you do not take the vow you can eat the sacred cow you'll get karma anyhow hare hare hare *sigh* All the best wishes to you, Boy George; hopefully your Karma'll always be good!
Those who have been to India probably understand how this song manages to illustrate what's in the air over there: spiritual and relaxed, India has got a totally unique atmosphere. Well done George for putting it all in music for us:-)
I had never heard this song until last night, when he sang it at the Krsna temple. I can't believe it, it's great, it's catchy and worms itself into your brain, I keep singing it. I lived on an isolated island for ten years, that's the only explanation for it.
Everytime I play this song I think of this comment. I'm so grateful that you took the time to explain, this is absolutely divine and knowing this woman's incredible contribution towards awakening "God Consciousness" makes it that much more special! Thank you friend. ♥️♥️♥️
@@liz090833 Recording her was and honor and pleasure. She was only supposed to sing a few phrases, but I got her to do that entire coda because I knew it would be a feature.
All the comments posted are "spot on"! Boy George, you are such a beautiful, talented man! I love you for bringing us all amazing music throughout the years. I will never forget hearing you for the first time back in the 80's! You are an inspiration! Peace and love to you!
I'm a Christian and love my Hindu friends. I really admire the world's most ancient culture's virtues, like: Love & Non-Violence. Look world is now realising the benefits of Veganism and Vegetarianism weather it's for the Planet/Environment, Health or Animal-rights. My best wishes and respect to all the true Vegan Hindus out there.
Possibly my fav Boy George track (next to The Crying Game) because it's so joyful - perfect homage to the GOD who incarnates on earth in order to play ("lila"), in contrast with the other GOD who incarnates on earth in order to suffer.
One of my favorite songs from Boy George. On the Gay thing. Everytime my parents or older person brings it up I answer with the Child Abusing Bing Crosby, the alcoholic Dean Martin, the abuser and user Joan Crawford, the drug addict...it shuts them up.
Why's the 'gay thing' such an issue for your parents? It irritates me when people use that as a way of detracting from something/someone worthy of merit.
I have this album on an old cassette, it probably no longer works, but I played it enough to stretch it out just a little. This was always my favorite song on it.
Just superb song.......I never watch just a beautiful song in my life.....Thanks a lot Boy George for making such a nice song.........God Bless you..............
Fantastic song! Love Boy George - his music just got better and better. Love the blend of Hare Krishna chanting and club beat - it just makes you wanna dance!
I saw BG perform this in Sheffield a fortnight back and he and his band for the evening were fantastic. I'm not even 'a fan' and know nothing of his career (I attended as a care worker) but he was great and this song in particular was sublime.
No wonder we wonder why we couldn't watched it earlier. The greatest comments are cutest, and compassionate we appreciate this bridge of blessing ❤ boy. The face is the indication of his mind that is the expression of his salvation.Hare Krishna
I'm 23, and music is my life. Paul McCartney is number one for me....but! For the last 8 years Boy George has been number two.....English music is amazing, and Boy George is such a great singer and love his style....wish he would hurry with his 2012 release of the new studio album with Culture Club :(
fine, pure, detail, acoustic, percussion, indian, cultural, sky, heaven, fun, delight, joy, cheerful, active, cute, happy, bliss, warm, polite, uplift, perfect.....are the song represents. One of my all time favourite.
Come back once again to listen or to read probably at vedabase.io to read literature written by the exceptional svami who brought the mantra to foreign countries.

@@SashaTibelius actually there is no such a desert, nor "jaisalmer" neither "jahshamir" at least in India. There is city of Jaisalmer in the middle of desert Thar in India and there is state Jammu and Kashmir which some people call Jashemir. I think Boy George just used this word in his song having simple idea compose a kind a fancy rhyme.
@@thakurSavitar May be you are right. I founded that city on map of India. th-cam.com/video/_uKGh2SE3Og/w-d-xo.html I did that video with translation from Sanskrit to Russian language. They sound almost identical.
just because he's gay doesn't mean we can't still have a crush on him. i've had a crush on him ever sense i first heard culture club. i almost meet him once.....i was so close. i would do anything to meet him, absolutely anything.
@@RocStarr913 Yes...this Boy George song should be re- releases.....it's even better, more spiritually potent then George Harrison's My Sweet Lord which, I believe, went to No.1 in rhe charts....
I met a devotee in a Belfast Hare Krisna temple. He was very kind as I was not ready. He wrote me a beautiful letter and said.."When the student is ready, the Master shall appear" By the grace of GOD. Jai Shri Mataji!
Habe gerade dieses Lied als Gutelaunesong ausgegraben, macht mich aber gerade sntimental. Man sieht, wie schnell die Zeit vergeht und was es doch für eine schöne Zeit war. Hätte Ihn jetzt gerne meiner Mutter vorgespielt, Sie hätte den Song auch geliebt... RIP April 2015
Ти си изпълнил мисията на своя живот Първият човек ,който ми даде Кришна Ти си Гуру,това за толкова много хора в този свят Бъди благословен със сладката си усмивка ,повтарящ имената на Бога Желая ти пълен успех, всичко в този живот Бъди благословен Когато първи път чух тази песен,аз станах луд Само исках да повтарям и танцувам Не бях изживявала подобно нещо в живота си Вечна Слава на Святото име

I had the privilege of meeting him once. During his visit to Mumbai back in 1989/90, he stayed in a beach side house close to my home.
I was 18 when this was out im 48 now still love it 👌
I was a Hare Krishna devotee in Los Angeles in November of 1991. I asked the temple president if I could appear with Boy George on stage at his concerts that were about to happen. He said no. Bummer. Awesome song, though. Hare Krishna!
Absolute god damn genius Boy George 😇👍.
Boy George's most underrated song. Jubilant and infectious.
Thanks! I made it. B)
I couldn't agree more sweetheart🙌🙌🙌
As is Boy George himself, bubbly and infectious
christoffer...indeed !!
I agree
Beautiful song from a beautiful soul. Thank-you Boy George for visiting the planet.
I almost forgot! The high female vocal is Asha Bhosle, one of the most revered singers in Indian history. She has sung on over a thousand Bollywood movies and has been performing for SIXTY years. It would be like having Ella Fitzgerald on a record. She was amazing to record....
Thank you. Her beautiful voice and verse stays with you in your heart.

They are such peaceful and loving people who open their eyes to the world.
Well done George!

THE BEST SONG from him 😉😎😊👍👌🤩😍. Do you agree ❓

One of the...hell yeahh..
No . To me , it 's by far THE CRYING GAME

It's a great song but I don't agree with you
I'm an atheist but I love the Hare Krishna maha mantra. Its very catchy. Sometimes calming, sometimes stimulating. I stopped eating meat for some reason when I started chanting.
I thought it was just me. This song is so healing and I’m Christian. Love this

You chant and you're an atheist? Wow!
Good on you for stop eating meat..well done
This song touches my soul. Makes me cry and laugh in a world that's suffering so much music like this lifts my spirit. Thank you Boy George❤️

That’s Jayadev prabhu on drums there
More pls.. I was brought up catholic... but I feel more connection to this
Just chanting Hare Krishna fills me with so much joy. Life feels complete and full of meaning. Haribol!
Haribo ?
Haribol! as "Praise the Lord!"
Boy George was so young and so pretty back then. BIG LOVE.
He is still pretty you know
He still is!
He was even younger the year before
George ist still good-looking for a man in his fifties
This is another insightful song from Boy George, with a compassionate side for another culture. Great work again Boy George!
Take notice of the voice of Asha Bhosle. She has been active for more than 70 years and participated on more than 13.000 songs - an all-time record.

She is absolutely AMAZING!
She is,my favourite Indian singer. Adore her.

I am a devout Christian, and although I probably really shouldn't I like this song. Very catchy.
Are you really that insecure?
One of my favorite songs from Boy George. On the Gay thing. Everytime my parents or older person brings it up I answer with the Child Abusing Bing Crosby, the alcoholic Dean Martin, the abuser and user Joan Crawford, the drug addict...it shuts them up.
Why's the 'gay thing' such an issue for your parents? It irritates me when people use that as a way of detracting from something/someone worthy of merit.
yeah! It's a really happy music of the 80's! Thank you for present this wonderful song !Love and Peace!
What a wonderful, beautiful song! I can't believe I've never heard it before!

Poor George, how many unpleasant things happend to him now...I wish him all the best & that he will find the correct path of his life. TC George!
Your wishes for Boy George came true 🙏🏼♥️🤍🤍🤍
SUCH a beautiful song !!!! 🥳
Absolutely brilliant song!! It should've gone to number one!!
+Andrew Phillips Agree - what number did it get to ?
Released in March 1991 IIRC Number 7 in the UK.
forget it man, if u like it its number 1 for u
Asha Bhosele’s background voice ....wow love this song and love Mr Boy George ❤️
Immer wieder herrlich, DANKE!!!
Das stimmt !
Brilliant piece of work. Awesome arrangement. I just love the East meets West style of music. Thank you George.
Stupendo sempre bravissimo bravo Boy. G. Ciao
Great song, and George looks great in this vid. My parents met him in Barbados in 1987 and said he was really friendly.
Just superb song.......I never watch just a beautiful song in my life.....Thanks a lot Boy George for making such a nice song.........God Bless you..............

Бъди благословен със сладката си усмивка ,повтарящ имената на Бога
Желая ти пълен успех, всичко в този живот
Бъди благословен
Когато първи път чух тази песен,аз станах луд
Само исках да повтарям и танцувам
Не бях изживявала подобно нещо в живота си
Вечна Слава на Святото име
