Jahnava Nitai Das Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 We just finished the ISKCON Ratha Yatra here in Mysore. I will try to post some pictures when I get time. Both in Bangalore and Mysore ISKCON conducts "Krishna Balarama" ratha yatra instead of Jagannatha Ratha Yatra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karthik_v Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 J N Das Prabhu: That is very heartening. Why is that you conduct Krsna-Balaram yatra and not Jagannath? Any particular reson? Is it because, Krsna is better understood in that part of the world? I have read that one reason why Lord Jagannath is taken on a yatra is to give everyone, including those who are foreigners, a chance to pull his chariot, as they can't visit his temple otherwise. Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
