So 500 years ago Lord Caitanya in the mood of Shrimati Radharani was also inviting Lord Jagannath to come back to Vrindavan. So in great ecstasy Lord Caitanya Mahaviru and all his associates they danced and chanted as Lord Jagannath returned to Brindavan. So similarly all of us we belong in Vrindavan. So joining this festival means that along with Lord Caitanya and Lord Jagannath we are also going back to Vrindavan our original home.

I offer my respectful obeisances at the lotus feet of Iskcon Spondar Acharya his divine grace Sila Ac Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
And the Lotus Footer.
For my obeisances and respects to the supreme personality of God who appeared as a devotee and to their lordships Jagannath Baladev and Subhadra and Jagannath Baladev and Subadra who have come here today in their chariot. You have heard from His Holiness Prahladananda Swami.
We hate His Holiness Prahladananda Swami Khor.
The significance of Rath Yatra Festival from different points of view the be taken.
Is from the Ratayatre festival Van verskhillende.
Infalshooker how the Lord has this unique form with big eyes and big smile. How the residents of the holy land of Vrindavan which is a beautiful garden.
Who the inboners van der land van vrindaven.in prachteche moye tionis how they went.
To meet Krishna at the Kurukshetra and invite him to go back to Vrindavan.
Who'S a Nakrishna king in Kurukshetra and him out north the untrutha kom in our Vrindavan.
So this Rath Yatra festival is a festival of reunion.
Festival is a festival van here I.
Just flown in from the east now this came in from India where we were celebrating Rath Yatra in Calcutta for nine days. On the 1st of July was the going route and on the 9th of July was the return route. And we stayed in a park like this for nine days of the.
Airset off was and the Nedagh was the Trichan van de car and the sign of the plaque.
We had Homa Yagyas fire sacrifices every night. We had prasad distribution. So 30 to 50,000 some people a day. And we normally would have Bhakti Churu Maharaj giving lectures but this year because of health he couldn't come. So we missed him very much.
The Mah spake his holiness Bhakti Char Maharaj during the festival.
Is special because that's where Srila Prabhupada did Rath Yatra when he was 6, 7 years old. Deity is sitting on this chariot in the front.
Srila Prabhupada's Vedanta deity is the four of the curses for the deities.
He's the spiritual master who brought this culture all around the world. That this is a cultural movement which has a spiritual message. The prophet wanted to share this culture in a wonderful cultural exchange with the people around the world.
Srila Prabhupada killed.
So these deities of Jagannath Baladev are connected to Prabhupada and connected to Iskcon since the very inception.
This day's deities from Jagannath and Baladev and Subhadra Vishaying for both.
The beginning, as I mentioned Prabhupada as a child he had his own miniature roth. And that was a hundred years ago that he would pull the rat in his neighborhood in Calcutta. And now all over the world we are pulling Prabhupada for the rat yaddy, etc.
And sit high self of the car and track away the car.
And also in New York City, where Prabhupada first brought his the consciousness to the West. Jagannath Baladeva and Subhadra deities came into the temple. One devotee brought the deities in the temple and said. I got these in an Indian gift shop. What does this mean?
In the stocked New York Varsila Prabhupada method from the days of the waiting Kubam Verstaina. The deities from Jagannath, Baladev and Subhadra. The temple Karma and Tukhware the Rav Tsubin in the temple Karma and Hay Fruhanshira Prabhupada.
Prabhupada saw deity of Jagannath. Immediately he paid his respects and he was just overwhelmed. How Jagannath walked into the temple who.
Juggernaut Darzel first was in the temple Camera.
I joined the Hare Krishna movement in 1968 in San Francisco.
In San Francisco.
And there they also had big Juggernaut Boliday survived. They call that new Jagannath Puri.
The temple hate new Jagannath Puri.
And I decided to be a Brahmachari on the day of Rath Yatra. And one famous devotee in Iskcon called Jayananda Prabhu. He shaved off my hair in the morning of the Rath Yatra. In the afternoon I was pulling the rod. An engineer who designed the telescopic Rath Yatra so they could go in the modern cities of the world and reduce the height when they had to go under a tree or a cable.
Jayanalnaprabhu was the engineer. The car for Zonderheif Van Jagannath were from the Duck in club barriers. So that in the Westersche state it.
So just like he was an engineer and he used his engineering to design a telescopic rock. You can use all of your abilities in the service of Krishna.
And let us Jayananda Prabhu and engineer and hey, the ink clock bar in Klaper dach on the dinsk.
That's what we call devotional service. Use your abilities as an offering through Krishna to uplift the whole world. Every activity we do in the material world, there's a reaction that's called karma. So when we do something good, we get a good karma reaction. We get wealthy, we get healthy, we get happy materially. When we do things which are harmful to our body or to others bodies. That causes bad karma and gives us disease, anxiety, legal problems, problems financial Problems and all kinds of problems. But if you do something directly for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then that does not produce a material reaction, but rather takes you closer and closer to being liberated from the material bondage.
While she eats for Krishnadurioxis and the materi.
So this way, when Jagannath comes out on the street, he doesn't have any motor, he doesn't have any horses.
Fire the car of his death.
You, we, all of us, we become the volunteer horses. We pull the Lord. When we pull the Lord, we're doing a very personal service.
And also the car from the personality for him.
And how much good benefit we get from that, it's beyond calculation. This is giving out profuse benefits spiritually to all the people who participate, who witness.
This hand, an enormous spirit, veiler for icon and elements and their name of the atmarcin.
There's different aspects to this festival which are very important.
This festival.
One of the aspects is that in this festival there's always this food available.
Spiritual yogi Food festival is an altaic futsol yogi which also improves your spiritual.
Vibration and gives you peace of mind and many benefits beyond ability to describe. So one of the things everyone has to do who participates in the Rath Yatra is you have to take some prasadam.
Offered foodsal.
This spiritual foodstuff.
Spiritual foodsal.
Where are they giving it? Out in the back there's a big queue. People are going to get that prasadam. Please, before you leave, get a plate. There's also. So this is my first visit to.
