My wife Sitala (here she is last month in Byron Bay on Harinama sankirtana)
just got back from Australia the other week and brought with her some photo albums we had left there in 2004. My last posting was a result of rummaging thro’ them, and here’s some more curiosities from my early days in ISKCON downunder. Almost all of these photos have never been published before, at least to my knowledge.
Here’s a black and white of Srila Prabhupada installing Radha Gopinath in Sydney at the old Paddington temple on his first visit to Australia in 1971
Next to Prabhupada, dressing the Deity of Gopinatha is Bali Mardan prabhu, the first person to bring the Hare Krishna Movement to Australia. On the far right is Dipak das, a Texan and one of the early recruits.
