This is a video called Govindam Adi Purusam. The song is performed by George Harrison and devotees from London, and the artwork is also made by devotees.

The lyrics are in Sanskrit, they are from the Brahma samhita, one of the oldest written texts.
Govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
Venum kvanantam aravinda-dalayataksam,
Barhavatamsam asitambuda-sundarangam,
Kandarpa-koti-kamaniya-visesa-sobham
Govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
Angani yasya sakalendriya-vrtti-manti,
Pasyanti panti kalayanti ciram jaganti,
Ananda-cinmaya-sad-ujjvala-vigrahasya,
Govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
Translation
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who plays on His transcendental flute. His eyes are like lotus flowers, He is decorated with peacock plumes, and His bodily colour resembles a fresh black cloud although His bodily features are more beautiful than millions of cupids.
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, whose transcendental form is full of bliss, truth and substantiality, and is thus full of the most dazzling splendor. Each of the limbs of that transcendental figure posseses in Himself, the full-fledged functions of all the organs, and eternally sees, maintains and manifests the infinite universes, both spiritual and mundane.
These are some words by George Harrison

Now he explains something which is very true, that every one of us has a personal relationship with God. I feel very strongly that George knew God, and had an intimate relationship with Him. This is such an important message...Kierkegaard explains that to love God is to love oneself truly, and to help someone to love God is to truly love them, and to be loved truly is to be helped to love God. This is because our natural position is service to God, by which we awaken love of God. Love of God is self-less, we do service for God only from love, but it is also reciprocating. Our natural position is not unhappiness, but bliss, knowledge, and eternal life. George Harrison explains, every soul is potentially divine. So I hope this has been helpful to whoever reads it. George Harrison is beloved among devotees, and with good cause.
