Inner Light | George Harrison cover with Gaiea Sanskrit Katha Upanishad

When I heard Dhani Harrison singing a song his father George Harrison wrote,
straight away felt a connection with the melody and lyrics and knew that
needed to sing this song ... and something told me to interweave some Sanskrit
from the Upanishads which seemed to express what George had written.

Wish could have sang a duet with George Harrison, who knows maybe will one day.

"Without going out of my door
I can know all things on earth
Without looking out of my window
I can know the ways of heaven
The further one travels
The less one knows
The less one really knows"

lyrics and melody by George Harrison

Sanskrit from Katha Upanishad
यदेवेह तदमुत्र यदमुत्र तदन्विह
yadeveha tadamutra yadamutra tadanviha
"what indeed is here is there
what is there is here likewise"

अशब्दम् अस्पर्शम् अरूपम् अव्ययम्
तथाऽरसं नित्यमगन्धवच्च यत्
अनाद्यनन्तं महतः परं ध्रुवम्
एतद्वैतत्

aśabdam asparśam arūpam avyayam
tathā'rasaṃ nityamagandhavacca yat
anādyanantaṃ mahataḥ paraṃ dhruvam
etadvaitat

"know that which is soundless, touchless, colourless, undiminishing, and tasteless, eternal, odourless, without beginning and without end distinct from Mahat and ever constant
This is that"
