" It Is ' He ' ( Jai Sri Krishna ) " is a song by English musician George Harrison , released as the final track of his 1974 album '' Dark Horse '' . Harrison was inspired to write the song while in the Hindu holy city of Vrindavan , in northern India , with his friend Ravi Shankar . The composition originated on a day that Harrison describes in his autobiography as " my most fantastic experience " , during which his party and their ascetic guide toured the city 's temples . The song 's choruses were adapted from the Sanskrit chant they sang before visiting Seva Kunj , a park dedicated to Krishna 's childhood . The same pilgrimage to India led to Harrison staging Shankar 's Music Festival from India in September 1974 and undertaking a joint North American tour with Shankar at the end of that year
