Guru das explains that the devotees had been booked for the BBC’s Top of the Pops live music programme.
When he heard that scantily clad girl dancers in cages would be in the background, “ No, we’re leaving unless the dancers leave “
The producer said the girls have to perform due to union rules.
Now this Top of the Pops was one of the most popular shows in the UK.
So a compromise was made, the girls were taught the “ Swami Step “ and the devotees performed live on TV.
