Parasuram dasa: 5,000 years ago Lord Krishna along with his associates performed wonderful transcendental pastimes in the Land of Vraj.
Back in the UK Stonehenge was being built and Glastonbury was being developed by the Druids.
King Arther ruled from here and his body was laid to rest at the Cathedral of Glastonbury.
After the crucifixion, Joseph of Arimathea, (an uncle of Jesus), travelled to Britain with the Holy Grail, the cup used by Christ at the Last Supper and later by Joseph to catch His blood at the crucifixion. Upon arriving on the isle of Avalon, Joseph thrust his staff into the ground. In the morning his staff had taken root and grown into a strange thorn bush, the sacred Glastonbury Thorn.
This sacred town of Glastonbury attracts people from all over the world, seekers, mystics, druids, sages, devotees and all varieties of hippies. We have been running a regular Prasad distribution program (Food for All) here since 30 years.
So there is no better place in the Western World to have a Rathayatra Festival than here on the historic streets Glastonbury.
Enjoy the movie, Jai Jagannath!
