It was influenced by the 1968 American psychedelic film Psych-Out.The idea for Haré Rama Haré Krishna actually came to Dev Anand when he visited Kathmandu, Nepal and encountered hippies living there. He was low in spirits due to protests against his previous film Prem Pujari. The protesters had burnt posters of the film.
