VARANASI, INDIA, December 3, 2001: George Harrison’s intimate relationship with Indian mysticism, music and Hinduism sent his wife and son on a pilgrimage to the holy Ganges river in India, where his ashes will be scattered. No report has appeared as to where or when Harrison’s widow, Olivia and his 23-year-old son, Dhani, were to arrive, but it is believed they will scatter Harrison’s ashes both at Varanasi and Allahabad, site of the recent Kumbha Mela. Harrison had his first contact with Hinduism in the sixties at the Himalayan retreat of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a Hindu spiritual guru. This discovery of Eastern mysticism eventually led him to his involvement with the Hare Krishna movement.
