A great devotional song, probably the greatest in Western pop culture, by the humble genius George Harrison, a man with the looks of a movie star and the character of a monk.  Harrison was a favorite devotee of the great evangelist of Krishna consciousness, Srila Prabhupada, and an important figure in the spread of Hinduism in the West. Devout and reclusive, he was the least known of the Beatles and the most musical, as well as the best trained.

An excerpt from the letter linked above from Prabhupada to Harrison:

“By Krsna Consciousness movement we want to broadcast this information that if anyone reposes his loving propensity upon Krsna, he will immediately feel full satisfaction, as much as he feels full satisfaction by supplying food in the stomach. Otherwise, everyone will be frustrated.

Please try to understand this simple philosophy by critical analysis, and I hope by the grace of Krsna you will be a great servant of His in fulfilling His desire that He may be known by His Holy Name in every village and every city all over the world, and thus the people will become happy.”

Kr-shn is regarded by many students of comparative religion as a precursor of Christ.  Both names sound strikingly similar. And both religions – Hinduism and Christianity –  say that the “good news” of the loving nature of consciousness (being) will reach the ends of the earth in the time of Kali or the “dark” times (literally a redundancy, as Kal = time/black).
