Huge error. The song title is "The Great Mandala", not the great Mandella. It refers to the great circle of time in Hindu/Buddhist belief. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandala
It does not refer to Nelson Mandella. Funny the chorus is right. How do we get the title to change?
Sorry Groujo, but the title of the song IS The great Mandella, not Mandala. However, I agree that it is referring to the Buddhist beliefs as you specified. This causes, even today, lots of confusion. -- HippyFreak

Sorry Groujo, but the title of the song was originally released as The Great Mandella, not Mandala. If you own Album 1700, the 6th song is: The Great Mandella (The Wheel Of Life). However, I agree that it is referring to the Buddhist beliefs as you specified. This causes, even today, lots of confusion. The name of the song was later changed (or corrected).

Thanks for the note, HippyFreak. It's safe to say both titles have been used. It's The Great Mandala on my "The Very Best of Peter, Paul & Mary" but it cleary was "The Great Manedlla" originally. Either they "fixed" it or they just chose an alternate spelling that might be less likely to be confused with Nelson Mandela (with 1 l). Both are correct titles. And both refer to the Wheel of Life, not the South African leader.
