my rathayatra

[Guest guest]

In Calcutta, where under Srila Prabhupada's guidance his disciples had

organized Lord Jagannatha's rathayatra on the same day as in Puri, Srila

Prabhupada was once told that some of his disciples were going to Puri for

rathayatra. Srila Prabhupada responded, "Why don't they go to my

rathayatra?"

 

I was told this, many years ago, by Adridharan dasa, ex-TP ISKCON Calcutta.

Can anyone confirm this or add any details? If verified, it might be food

for thought for the many ISKCON devotees who go to Puri for rathayatra, even

though ISKCON-organized rathayatras are held in their cities on the same

day.
