iskcon vrindavan ratha yatra 2016

ISKCON Vrindavan is organizing its 2nd time Jagannath Rath Yatra for the pleasure of The Lord, on the 17th of July, 2016. The entire holy city will be reverberating to the throes of Jai Jagannatha and the Hare Krishna Mahamantra. Lord Jagannatha- the Lord of the Universe is Krishna Himself, Lord Baldeva is His Brother and Mother Subhadra is His Sister. Sirla Prabhupada introduced the Festival of drawing Their Charitos- the Ratha Yatra across the whole world and today, over 500 Cities rejoice in the devoted celebration and pompous gaiety of this Festival.

But to make this festival a truly joyous occasion, we need you, your family, friends, relatives, neighbors and associates. To draw the Chariot, to chant and dance in unparalleled joy, to partake of sumptuous Prasadam and thus receive the causeless mercy of Lord Jagannatha- the Lord of the Universe.

As you know, one who participates in the Ratha yatra festival has Darshana of Their Lordships, draws Their Chariot, Listens to and Chants the Holy Name, will certainly receive liberation from Material Bondage. We welcome you sincerely to this Grand Festival- truly one of its kind in Vrindavan, for its truly a rare occasion, that The Lord Himself arrives on the streets of our city.

An Occasion to receive the Lord into Your Heart, Rejoice, Relive the unprecedented occasion! Repeat the Names of the Lord! We eagerly look forward to receiving and serving you at the Festival.
