At the conclusion of the song, My Sweet Lord, George Harrison sings the following lyrics:

Guru Brahma

Guru Vishnu

Guru Devo Maheshwara

Guru Sakshat Parabrahma

Tatsme Sri Guruve Namah

 

This verse is from the Vedas and is usually recited before starting out on a new endeavor, to seek the blessings of the teacher. By invoking these verses Harrison calls upon the three manifestations of the Supreme Brahman or the "Trimurti" (the "Threesome").

Brahma — The Creator of the

Universe

Vishnu — The Preserver

Maheshwara (Shiva) — The

Destroyer

 

While the above appear to be three distinct entities, Harrison acknowledges that they are in fact ONE and the same — "PARABRAHMA" — CREATOR, PRESERVER, DESTROYER.

Harrison calls them his "GURU" (i.e., Teacher) and humbly bows before them and seeks their blessings in his endeavor.
