"Within You Without You" is a song written by George Harrison and released on the Beatles' 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The song was Harrison's second composition in the Indian classical style, after "Love You To" in 1966. The lyrics reflect his absorption in Hindu philosophy and the teachings of the Vedas, following a seven-week stay in India with his mentor and sitar teacher Ravi Shankar. Recorded in London with musicians from the Asian Music Circle, the song marked a significant departure from the Beatles' previous work. Harrison's endorsement of Indian culture was further reflected in his choice of yogis such as Paramahansa Yogananda to appear on the Sgt. Pepper album cover.
