Lord Jagannatha's Rathayatra pastimes are near! His Holiness Bhakti Purusottama Swami spoke to us Tuesday, June 22nd, morning and evening about Lord Jagannath. Maharaja was born in Orrisa and is a scholar on Lord Jagannath. The following Sunday, June 27th, we will observe Lord Jagannath's Snana-yatra.

Lord Jagannath takes his annual public bath and becomes sick. After the expert care of our pujari's, the Lord is cured of His illness (two weeks!).

Afterwards, He emerges from his sick room and is taken on a procession down our New Vrindaban road to give darshan to all the residents (animals and birds included!).

Please come and bath the Lord Sunday, June 27th.
