Snana-yatra New Vrindavan June 27th
Snana-yatra of Lord Jagannath
Sunday, June 27th
Lord Jagannatha’s Rathayatra pastimes are near! His Holiness Bhakti Purusottama Swami will speak 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 Vrindavan road to give darshan to all the residents (animals and birds included!).
Please come and bath the Lord Sunday, June 27th.
