Boy George and Krishna

Inspired by his involvement in the Hare Krishna movement (ISKCON),Boy George had written the song during a trip to India in 1989.



From bombay to bangalore
All the hindus know the score
If you wanna live some more
Hare, hare, hare

If you do not take the vow
You can eat the sacred cow
Youll get karma anyhow
Hare, hare, hare

Bow down mister
Hare rama, hare krishna
Bow down mister
We say radha syam

Do the right thing with your hands
Lay down on the pleasing sands
Whatever else your faith demands
Hare, hare, hare

From bombay to rajastan
Nitai guara, radha syam
Hare krishna hare ram
Hare, hare, hare

Bow down mister
Hare rama, hare krishna
Bow down mister
We say radha syam

Bow down mister
Hare rama, hare krishna
Bow down mister
We say radha syam

In the desert jahshamire
They put kun in their hair
At the westemers they stare
Hare, hare, hare

Paint a tilak on your brow
Open like a lotus flower
Its time to check your karma now
Hare, hare, hare

Bow down mister
Hare rama, hare krishna
Bow down mister
We say radha syam

Bow down mister
Hare rama, hare krishna
Bow down mister
We say radha syam

Bow down mister
Hare rama, hare krishna
Bow down mister
We say radha syam

Bow down mister
We say radha syam
Bow down mister
We say radha syam
Bow down mister

Raise your head and lift your hands to the lord

Hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare
Hare ram hare ram rama rama hare hare
Hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare
Hare ram hare ram rama rama hare hare...

Mujhe Rang De



Mujhe Rang De (which means: 'color me') has united very uneasy and talented people.

This very "simple" song from the bolly-movie Thakshak (1999) has united

 actress Tabassum Fatema (Tabu)

 singer Asha Bhosle

 composer  A. R. Rahman and

 poet Mehboob.

Rang (Colour), Tabu and AR Rahman had an association for me in great qawalli from Meenaxi but this cheerful small song can add to you pair of joyful minutes. Enjoy!
