And.
So 500 years ago, Lord Chaitanya, in the mood of Simati Radharani was also inviting Lord Jagannath to come Back to Vrindavan.
500 years later North Chaitanya Krishna Vrindavan.
So in great ecstasy, Lord Chaitanya Maharu and all his associates, they danced and chanted as Lord Jagannath returned to Vrindavan. 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.

And these are the words which we along with Lord Caitanya we're asking Lord Krishna to help us return to Vrindavan. So these are the words we sing. Ask Lord Krishna and Lord Caitanya to help us bring us back to Vrindava.

So thank you very much.
Maharaj.
Thank you very much Maharaj for speaking to us.
I offer my respectful obeisances and the lord's feet of ISKCON's founder Crya his divine grace Sila ac bhaktivedanta swami prabhupada. I offer my obeisances and respects to the supreme personality of Godhood who appeared as a devotee into their lordships. Jagannath Bhalladev and Subhadra.
Jagannath Baladev and.
Subhadra who have come here today in their chariots. You have heard from his holiness Prahlananda Swami the significance of Rath Yatra festival from different points of view.
The be taken is from the Rathayatra festival Van Verskhillende Infalshuka.
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 de land von vrindavan.in Pravtage Moyetainis.
How they went to meet Krishna at.
The Kurukshetra and invite him to go back to Vrindavan.
So this Rath Yatra festival is a festival of reunion.
Rathayatra festival is a festival from Vernichim.
I just flogged in from the east. Now this came in from India.
Maharaj is next from all the.
Where we were celebrating Rath Yatra in Calcutta for nine days. On the 1st of July was the going rock and on the 9th of July was the return route. And we stayed in a park like.
This for nine days of the year.
The air seduct was its dad and and the Nehemeth of the Trichan Van Der Kar and the sign of the pletch and festival plek to Bleife during.
The Nevada we had Homa Yagyas fire sacrifices every night we had prasad distribution. So 30 to 50,000 people a day. And we normally would have Bhakti Churu Maharaj giving lectures. But this year because of help he couldn't come. Missed him very much.
The mouth spread His Holiness Bhakti Saru Maharaj during the festival.
Calcutta is special because that's where Srila Prabhupada did Rath Yatra when he was 6, 7 years old. So the Prabhupada deity is seated on this chariot in the front.
Srila Prabhupada Vedanta deity is the Vedanta 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. So his deities of Jagadh Bala Dev are connected to Prabhupada and connected to Iskcon since the very inception. As I mentioned Prabhupada as a child he had his own miniature rod. 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 Rath Yatra.
From Jagannath Dorde strata from Kolkuta and knew sit high self at the car and Trekadaya car.
Also in New York City where Prabhupada first brought Ka 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 at an Indian gift shop. What does this mean?
In the stocked New York Parashika Prabhupada performed methodical from the days of waiting. Kabama firsthanded the deities from Jagannath, Baladev and Subhadra in the temple Karma and took Prabhup to bin in the temple Karma and Hay Fruvan Siva Prabhupada.
Prabhupada saw Devi of Jagannath immediately he paid his respect to. And he was just overwhelmed how Jagannath walked into the temple tower. I joined the Hare Krishna movement in 1968 in San Francisco.
Berglitz von Itconcestov in San Francisco.
And there they also had 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. One famous devotee Iskcon called Jayamanda Prabhu. He shaved off my hair in the morning of the Rath Yatra. And the afternoon I was pulling the rod. Jaiman was an engineer who design 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.
Jayananda Prabhu was the engineer the car for Zona lift from Jagannathi or from the top eight flag barriers. So that in the best to sustain the Jagannaths met Saint Card or the Stravutan on the the government and the grupodor.
So just like he was an engineer and he used his engineering to design a telescopic rod. You can use all of your abilities in the service of Krishna.
Prince of U Al U and his popper in 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 maternal world, there's a reaction that's called karma. So when we do something good, we get a good karmic reaction. We get wealthy, we get healthy, we get happy maternity. 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, 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.
Well, she eats for Krishna do we.
Take.
Drifted by the freiding van Gerbundenheit and the materi.
So this way, Juggernaut comes out on the street. He doesn't have any motor, he doesn't have any horses.
Juggernaut he pumped firsthand in the Strat sundered and fired the car of his death.
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 he personally gifts 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 paint an enormous spirit Vela for icon and elements, the unveiled name of the Atmarcin.
There's different aspects to this festival which are very important. One of the aspects is that in this festival there's always this food available, spiritual yogi food.
The Hidden Stone Festival is an Altaic food soul.
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, this spiritual foodstuff. 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 first visit to Dam Hash and I'm overwhelmed with the enthusiasm of the devotees, the wonderful ambient that's here.
And Maharaj is offer velvet and the.
