Apple Records issued the single , which was credited to " Radha Krishna Temple ( London ) " , on 22 August 1969 in the United States ( as Apple 1810 ) and on 29 August in the United Kingdom ( as Apple 15 ) . On 28 August , Harrison joined the devotees at Apple 's press launch , held in the gardens of a large property in Sydenham , south London . Straight after the launch , Harrison drove down to the Isle of Wight to rejoin Bob Dylan , who was due to make his highly publicised return to live performance at the island 's music festival . On 31 August , just before Dylan took to the stage , " Hare Krishna Mantra " was played over the venue 's PA . Mukunda later identified this exposure , together with the song 's airing during halftime at a Manchester United football game , as being indicative of how the ancient Maha Mantra " penetrated British society " via the Harrison-produced recording
