Sri Jaganntha Mandir celebrated its annual Ratha Yatra festival at Brickfields (Indian enclave), Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, 4 January 2013. We were blessed to have the association of HH Bhakti Vrajendra Nandana Swami Maharaja (President of ISKCON Malaysia), HG Prabhavisnu Prabhu ACBSP, HH Janananda Goswami Maharaja, HG Ajamila Prabhu ACBSP, HG Vrndavana Candra Prabhu (Vice President) and HG Simheswara Prabhu (Regional Secretary) and devotees from Ukraine, America, Europe, Australia, Nepal, Thailand, Singapore, Bangladesh and Malaysia.<\/p>\n

The procession started at 4:30pm with arati and sweeping of road. It has been raining everyday for the past few days in Kuala Lumpur and it was a concern for all the devotees. And it was not different on Ratha Yatra day. Soon after Their Lordships started to move on the chariot rain also started . Nevertheless it did not spoil the enthusiasm of devotees. Everyone continued chanting and dancing in rain with bliss. The roads were being washed to welcome Their Lordships.<\/p>\n

Lords Jagannatha, Baladeva, Subhadra Devi and Sudarshana went through the city giving darshan to one and all. Many foreigners also joined pulling the ratha, singing and dancing in joy. Kirtan party lead by different kirtaneers, including HG Ekalavya Prabhu and HG HG Sadhu Kripamoy Prabhu (Bangladesh), sang melodiously throughout the procession. The chariot festival ended at the jam packed Kandiah Hall where we had more ecstatic kirtans, spiritual discourses by senior Vaisnavas, dance drama and tasty Jagannatha pras\u00e4dam feast. Devotees were delighted to have the association of HH Bhakti Vrajendra Nandana Swami after his amazing recovery from near fatal heart attack. HG Lokabandhu Gauranga Prabhu, Deputy Minister for Federal Territories, also graced the occasion and led the arati kirtan and addressed the devotees. Around 2000 plates of prasadam and around 200 books were distributed during Ratha Yatra.<\/p>\n
