Dr. Jeffery D. Long is the Carl W. Zeigler Professor of Religion, Philosophy, and Asian Studies at Elizabethtown College, in central Pennsylvania. He has taught there since receiving his doctoral degree from the University of Chicago Divinity School in the year 2000. He is the author of several books, including Jainism: An Introduction and Hinduism in America: A Convergence of Worlds and Discovering Indian Philosophy: An Introduction to Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist Thought, which will be released in February of next year. He has also published a wide array of articles and has spoken at a variety of venues, both national and international, including three talks at the United Nations. He received initiation into the Vedanta tradition of Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda in 2005 and is a regular speaker at Vedanta Societies and Hindu temples across the US.
But here’s where it gets really interesting. Dr. Long, like many of us, is a lifelong fan of the Beatles and George Harrison in particular. His book on Jainism includes a section on George Harrison and he has given talks on the influence of Vedanta in Harrison’s music. Fans of Harrison will know about the very obvious influences in Harrison’s legendary solo album All Things Must Pass. But there are hints of Harrison’s Hindu influences in many Beatles songs as well.
We are so excited to speak to him about so many things – Hinduism, George Harrison, Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, and the Bhagavad Gita, for starters.
