On 17th February, A glorious Rathyatra festival was held in the city of Navsari in Gujarat, Lord Jagannath rode in such a way that He almost covered the whole of Navsari town in a 8 km. Route. As Their lordships rode in this small town in Their huge chariot, thousands of people became enchanted by Their beauty. Adding to Their beauty was the ecstatic dance performed by HH Bhakti Vikas Swami and other senior devotees. Moreover adding beauty to all these events was the flow of distribution of the nectar of Prabhupada books done by the cheerful devotees of Surat under the leadership of HG Radhesh Prabhu, it was as if the whole atmosphere became nectarean. The Sankirtan Devotees covered this whole town and flooded it with Srila Prabhupada books. The Navsari localities were completely amazed to witness the beauty of Lord Jagannath, the dance of HH Bhakti Vikas Swami and the magic of distribution of books done by devotees.
