theist Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 BTG gets San Francisco Ratha Yatra Date Wrong! BY: GABRIEL FOLEY Jul 14, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA (SUN) — Dear Prabhus, The Back to Godhead Magazine has made a major mistake. They have printed that the San Francisco Ratha Yatra is on Sunday the 26th. This is NOT correct! The date of the San Francisco Ratha Yatra is on SATURDAY JULY 25th 2009 Here is the invitation . PS. We hope that the editors of the BTG issue a statement on their website correcting their mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffster Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 They should send out an invitation to the congregational members with the correct date, so that people don't show up on Sunday. Or they should call them directly. This year they were pre-empted by a race or something, and had to take Saturday instead of Sunday. I thought Rathayatra WAS a race. Lord Jagannath always wins !! jeffster/AMd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theist Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Bump to top. I want to keep this visible until the event day. The thought of someone wanting to attend but going on the wrong day is very trouble some. I used to hitchhike from Portland Oregon to attend this festival in the very early 70's when Srila Prabhupada would also come and ride on Lady Subadra's cart and also speak to the crowd which then was as large as 10,000 people. Many of the best moments in my little life are from those festivals in Golden Gate park. Jaya Lord Jagannatha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gHari Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) If you are fortunate you will be able to hear Dravida Das answer questions. He is very together, and when he sings Rupa's poems it is out of this world. I sat and listened to him last Saturday at Toronto's Ratha Yatra and it was a very pleasant time.
