Taipei Ratha Yatra 2017 (Album with photos)
Giridhari Swami: Last weekend, we had the great fortune of participating in ISKCON Taipei’s annual Ratha Yatra festival. Over one hundred devotees from Taipei and Taichung enthusiastically chanted and danced during the two-hour procession, routed through Ximending, a famous shopping district frequented by droves of locals and tourists on the weekends. Suffice to say, thousands took darshan of Lord Jagannatha, Lord Balarama and Lady Subhadra, saw the devotees chanting and dancing and heard the holy name.
Following the procession, a two-hour stage program featured melodious kirtan, dance and short talks, while guests took delicious prasadam cooked by Ojasvi Prabhu from the Philippines.
The event was graced by Srila Prabhupada’s dear disciples, Krishna Baladeva and Sevananda Prabhus.
Devotees of ISKCON Taipei worked hard to organize this festival and we thank them for making this event a grand success.
By Srila Prabhupada’s mercy, Ratha Yatra is now held in many cities around the world. We offer him our most humble obeisances in gratitude for the great gift of Krishna consciousness he has given us and the world.
Srila Prabhupada ki-jaya!
Taipei Ratha Yatra ki-jaya!
