Partha Sarathi Das Goswami: This photo were taken at the Laudium Civic Hall on Thursday 9 October 1975. The pandal above the vyasasana we got from India and I assembled it. Dhiranga Prabhu who's playing the mrdanga, also came from England in 1974 after I arrived. Playing the mrdanga on the right hand side is Pusta Krishna Swami. There are two ladies - Bhaktin Gayle and Bhaktin Martha. Martha later became Venurati Dasi. Venurati is presently in South Africa.
I am playing the kartalas and dancing and ended up dancing with Pusta Krishna Swami. I used to be the main dancer being a little athletic. I was in charge of the sound system, the film projector and the vyasasana which I would decorate with flowers.
