HE WALKED AWAY FROM BEATLEMANIA AT ITS PEAK — AND FOUND SOMETHING MORE POWERFUL THAN FAME. George Harrison had already walked away from the noise. Behind the walls of Friar Park, he tended his gardens, watched the seasons turn, and lived quietly on his own terms. Then August 1978 arrived — and so did Dhani. Fans who followed George closely saw something shift. The man who searched the spiritual world suddenly had a very real reason to stay rooted in this one. He named his son after notes in an Indian musical scale. That alone tells you everything. George kept Dhani far from cameras and chaos. The boy grew up among trees and garden paths, believing his father was simply someone who loved nature and played guitar sometimes. That kind of protection is rare. That kind of love is rarer.
