She was part of the early 1960s Beat Generation in North Beach, San Francisco before meeting A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in New York City in 1966; becoming an initiated disciple in 1967. In late 1966, at Srila Prabhupada's request, together with her sister Janaki and Janaki's husband Mukunda she travelled to San Francisco to help establish an ISKCON temple. This temple, at 518 Frederick Street in Haight-Ashbury, became the first ISKCON temple on the West Coast of the United States. In 1968, together with five other Hare Krishna followers, Yamuna flew to London to establish ISKCON in the United Kingdom. There, she helped introduce Beatles guitarist George Harrison to Gaudiya Vaishnava philosophy and practice. Yamuna sang co-lead vocals on the 1969 Apple Records "Hare Krishna Mantra" single, which reached number 12 in the UK Chart. She also sang lead vocals on the 1970 Apple Records "Govinda" single, which reached number 23 in the UK Chart From 1970 to 1974 she lived and travelled in India with Srila Prabhupada as part of the World Sankirtan Party In 1988 she won two James Beard Awards, including Cookbook of the Year, for her book The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking.
