The Mantra-Rock Dance took place on January 27, 1967 in San Francisco and became Srila Prabhupada’s first major preaching event on the West Coast of the United States. It was organized by then Mukunda Dasa, Shyamasundara Dasa and Malati Dasi and featured some of the iconic rock groups and countercultural figures of the time.
