10.01.2022 Dear esteemed friends, Members and friends of Iskcon Bhakti Centre Gold Coast would like to invite you to attend our annual Chariot Festival otherwise known as Rathyatra on 31st July 2021 at Parklands Southport. Since Iskcon founder Acharya Srila Prabhupada organised the first Ratha-Yatra in the Western world in 1967 in San Francisco, the festival has been celebrated yearly in all corners of the world. The observance of the Rathyatra of Jagannath dates back to the time of the... Puranas. Descriptions of this festival are found in Brahma Purana, Padma Purana, and Skanda Purana to name a few. We would love you to assist us as we take Lord Jaganath along with Lady Subhadra and Lord Baladev out on our unique chariot so the public can freely get His darshan.This festival is very auspicious. Scriptures state that: ** By seeing the most merciful form of Lord Jagannatha, mainly recognizable by His two large round eyes, one will make rapid spiritual progress and gain instant purification. ** if anyone just sees the Rathayäträ cart passing and stands up to receive the Lord, he can purge all sinful results from his body. ** if anyone follows the Rathayäträ cart when the Deities pass in front or from behind, even if he is born of a lowly family, he can achieve opulence equal to that of Vishnu. ** By engaging in dancing and chanting during the Ratha Yatra parade, one can uplift one’s soul beyond all meditations. ** By performing any activities to help making this festival a success, one is granted the full blessings of the Lord. This will be a wonderful outting with many festivities for the whole family such as jumping castle, face painting, free vegetarian meals, cultural stage show, supervised children's cartpulling with mini cart and much more. Please come along, bring your family and friends to pull the Lords cart and enjoy the festivities. See more
