chatting with Indira Gandhi

Among other things, this group was created to put on high-quality theatrical productions for varied audiences, ie not only sannyasins. At this point, not a lot is known about their activities, but two programmes have surfaced for their productions of Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Night's Dream, in Delhi, Mumbai and possibly Kolkata.

The programmes have mini-bios for all the actors plus set design and other production people. In alphabetical order, they are:

Ma Alima, Ma Prem Anita, Ma Prem Anuradha, Ma Yoga Anurag, Sw Anand Anutosh, Sw Prem Ashok, Sw Chaitanya Hari, Ma Devapriti, Sw Deva Gayaka, Sw Anand Geet, Sw Jayananda, Ma Param Jyoti, Ma Prem Madhura, Sw Anand Narendra, Ma Anand Nirado, Sw Deva Nutana, Ma Deva Padma, Ma Veet Pramad, Sw Prem Prasthan, Sw Sharna, Sw Anand Siddhant, Sw Prem Siddhena, Sw Deva Tapodhana, Ma Ananda Vandana, Sw Anand Vimal

A Midsummer Night's Dream was premiered at Bhulabhai Desai Auditorium, Bombay, at 7pm on Oct 16 and 18, 1979.
