He adds: 'I had some of my friends from the Radha Krishna Temple staying: 'Watch out for MДЃya'. In his 1980 autobiography, I, Me, Mine, Harrison says he wrote 'Beware of Darkness' at this time. In spring 1970, Harrison invited some of the movement's members to stay at Friar Park, his recently purchased estate in Oxfordshire, to help him restore the large house and overgrown gardens, and to give his new home an intensely spiritual atmosphere. He told the devotees that his 1969 Beatles composition ' Something' was a love song to the Hindu deity Krishna rather than to his wife, Pattie Boyd. Since meeting the Radha Krishna devotees in December 1968, Harrison had produced their devotional music for Apple Records, including the 1969 single ' Hare Krishna Mantra', and assisted in securing a property in central London as their temple. The song's lyrics reflect the influence of the Radha Krishna Temple, whose philosophy holds that spiritual concerns override all material things. When playing it to Phil Spector, his co-producer, in May 1970, he introduced it as 'the last one I wrote, the other day'. 'Beware of Darkness' was one of the more recent songs included on All Things Must Pass, George Harrison's first post- Beatles solo album, and his first to consist of songs. The song has also been recorded by Leon Russell, Marianne Faithfull, Spock's Beard, Concrete Blonde, Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs, and Sheryl Crow. Eric Clapton performed it in tribute to Harrison at the Concert for George in 2002. Harrison performed 'Beware of Darkness' with Leon Russell at the Concert for Bangladesh in 1971.

Several critics recognise the song as one of the best tracks on All Things Must Pass. The lyrics warn against allowing illusion to get in the way of one's true purpose in life, an admonition that, like the content of ' My Sweet Lord', reflects the influence of Harrison's association with the Radha Krishna Temple. It is the opening track on the second disc of the album. 'Beware of Darkness' is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. 1970 song by George Harrison 'Beware of Darkness'
