Almost 49 years ago in 1967, the first Ratha Yatra festival beyond the Indian sub-continent was organized and celebrated in San Francisco. Srila Prabhupada was personally in attendance along with many of his first disciples. This Ratha Yatra survey which has just been published, shows all the Ratha Yatra festivals held across the world and confirms the great work ISKCON is doing and how Lord Caitanya’s mercy is literally spreading out to reach every town and village!
