The significance of rathayatra reached the far corners of the globe now and especially where ISKCON temples are located ever since Srila Prabhupada organised the first rathayatra in San Francisco in 1967 as briefed below. The rathayatra was scheduled on a Sunday the 9th July. On Saturday, 8th July, Jagannatha Deities were brought from Stinson Beach and draped in cloth. Although some rathayatra posters were the only official announcements, everyone in the Haight-Ashbury was talking about the festival. A Krishna parade to the beach! A love feast! Bring flowers, wear bells, paint up, chant, and get high! Celebrate Sri Jagannatha, Lord of the universe! On Sunday, 9th July, Shyamsunder Prabhu brought the flat bed truck on which the chariots were mounted and the deities were installed, undraped and garlanded Them with hibiscus. Lord Jagannatha was placed on the right side of the cart beneath the foldable canopy engineered by Jayananda Prabhu. While placing the Deity, the devotees sang jagannatha-swami nayana pathagami bhavatu me, “O Lord of the universe, please be visible unto me.” Subhadra looked out from the rear, and Lord Balarama was seated on the left. On the cart’s four corners were placed Christian, Muslim, Jewish, and ISKCON flags. The ISKCON flag consisted of a Sanskrit AUM and a drawing of a dancing pair of Radha and Krishna. Srila Prabhupad said, “Actually, each Deity should ride in a separate cart and the carts should be pulled with ropes by the crowds through the streets. But that is all right. May be in the future you can arrange that.” Music and kirtans were sung all way through the parade. The girls were dressed in saris, and the gents wore dotis and kurta. Drums, cymbals, and tambourines were played in rhythm, and the crowd started chanting Hare Krishna. The girls handed out oranges, apples, bananas, chapatis, and puris to all those came near. As Shyamasundar Prabhu drove down the car to Haight, people lined up the sidewalk and flowed out into the street to follow the cart, while Lord Jagannatha kept smiling. Frequently the cart slowed to a halt as people clustered around the dancing devotees in front of the car. Flowers, apples and kisses were distributed to those hippies flocked up and the crowd roared “Radha Krishna Temple ki jai! New Jagannatha Puri ki jai!” The crowd and hippies all chanted the Hare Krsna mahamantra. Finally, the cart reached the Pacific beach of San Francisco with some hitches on the way. Soon Srila Prabhupad also arrived at the beach and together they ate the prasadam and everyone was elated. All listened to Srila Prabhupad about Jagannatha Puri and Vaikuntham while partaking the prasadam. Prabhupadji said, “As long as we are in the ocean of material nature, we will feel anxiety, but not in Vaikuntha. That is what Vaikuntha means, freedom from anxiety. Everyone in the material universe- from Lord Brahma down to the tiny ant- is anxious about something. If you see a bird and make a sudden move, that bird will fly away from fear. He is anxiously thinking, ‘Oh, what will catch me and eat me?’ The Padma-purana says that the smaller living entities serve as food for the larger. So all are in anxiety- even Brahma himself, for although his years are incalculable by our system, there is finally annihilation.” The Deities are to remain some days at Paradisio before returning to the temple. Then the devotees packed back in the empty truck and their vehicles. Srila Prabhupad said, “That was but the beginning,” Prabhupadji said the following morning. “We will inaugurate many such celebrations all over the world. One by one, I will show you.” That was the beginning of the first rathayatra outside Bharatam. Where rathayatra procession is not held, a special puja followed by great feast will be organised to all ISKCON devotees in memory of the great festival and many visitors too join for the sumptuous Krsna-prasadam distributed and receive the blessing of Jagannatha, Lord of the universe. It remind us Srila Prabhupad’s childhood pastime in building rathas (carts) and organising yatras (processions). When he was barely six, Abhay (original name of Srila Prabhupad) wanted to organise a brief rathayatra imitating the grand procession held at Calcutta. He was also enthused at Mahaprabhu’s ecstatic dancing before the rathayatra at Puri four hundred years ago. Abhay insisted his father Gour Mohan to buy a decent Ratha for him. The father and son visited many carpenters to see some models they could chose from, but the price was unaffordable. Soon an old woman arrived at home. Seeing the worried Abhay, she enquired, “Why young Abhay is worried?” From Abhay’s mother Rajani, the woman understood about his ardent love for a ratha. The woman said, “I have a cart at home. Come and take it.” Gour and Abhay went and bought it. The wooden cart was small, but of decent size for the kids to smart on. They fixed wooden horses to the carts and painted and decorated them to resemble like the original rathas of Puri. Abhay’s sister Bhavantarini also helped him to ornament the Jagannatha Deities. Abhay collected his friends and organised a rathayatra on streets of Calcutta. It resembled like a fair mini replica of the original Puri rathayatra. It showed the young Abhay’s interest towards rathayatras and it infused confidence in the growing mind to later build upon his talent to organise large scale ratha-yatras all over Bharatam and across the globe. Abhay’s immense love for Radha-Krshna and Jagannatha Deities from childhood was inherent and God gifted, and those holy hands later blessed millions of people to become dear devotees of Gauranga and follow His path to worship Ratha-Govinda and participate in the colourful of rathayatra festivities world-wide.

Hare Krishna Questions and Answers websiteCandidasa dasa: I have created a proposal to create a new Question & Answer website for Hare Krishna devotees and need your help. The proposed website will be built on the same software as stackoverflow.com, a hugely popular site where over seven million computer programmers help each other with difficult programming problems. On Stack Overflow the audience votes for the best answer. Answers with the highest number of votes automatically rise to the top, to be read first. People answering questions gain reputation from each “up” vote for their answer, encouraging them to answer questions well. I can see this proposed site turning into an equally amazing resource. We need a certain number of people “following” the proposal before the people who run StackExchange see it as important enough to make it into a real website. So, please help out and click the “Follow It” button on this website and enter your email address: http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposal… Please forward this to all your devotee friends and get them involved, so we can get our Q&A site launched very soon.
Detailed information about what I’m trying to do here: The primary aim of the site is to give devotees a way to get good answers to all kinds of questions, as well as for more learned devotees to share their knowledge. If an answer is online, then google can find it and it becomes a permanent record for the future. That is much better than a devotee answering the same question over and over again on various forums. It is also better for the person looking for the answer, because the voting highlights what the best answer is, placing it at the top. I got the idea for this kind of website after a conversation with another devotee. We were talking about facebook and blog controversies and the inability of devotees to do much about them. I thought about this a lot and had the idea for a devotee Q&A site that could address both local and global controversies in an authoritative way that doesn’t look like it is just one person’s biased opinion. A good answer on such a site will visibly have the stamp of approval from a whole group of devotees. Then, a few weeks ago, this StackExchange thing came along and did all the hard work of designing such a site for us. So, I’m very keen to take advantage of this opportunity. To my knowledge every other devotee attempt at an online community either gets neglected over time, limited to a few hundred people, or has a confusing interface which is too bewildering. This is not any individual’s fault. The fact is that building a website that people will use for valuable high-quality social interactions is very difficult. The best essay on the topic is this one “A Group is its own Worst Enemy” http://shirky.com/writings/group_enemy.h… The author explains in great detail why so many social websites fail. The StackExchange model is exactly in line with the principles recommended to make a site successful. It is expertly designed with identity (once the site is launched, anyone that contributes needs to have an identity and is therefore accountable for what they write - no anonymous answering), voting (the community polices itself), reputation (a way to identify those members of the community that are in good standing) and a barrier to entry (you need a certain good reputation to be able to vote to determine what is a good answer). All this means that a website based on the StackExchange technology can still be useful and manageable with millions of users. Please help make this amazing resource a reality by clicking “follow” on the proposal and writing some good and bad example questions to go on the site. Bad questions are those off-topic questions that we don’t want appearing on the site to keep the site focused on topics related to Krishna consciousness. We need examples of such bad questions in the proposal stage to define what the site will be about.
