(Saturday, May 31)<\/p>\n<p>It &#8216;s the first Ratha Yatra Iskcon Italy is allowed to perform in Rome! This is a momentous event for the whole yatra. Srila Prabhupada was in Rome during the same date in which we will celebrate this big festival. <\/p>\n<p>Surely is not something you will want to miss!<\/p>\n<p>It could be your perfect summer vacation combination with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhaktifestival.it\/\">Bhakti festival<\/a> at Villa Vrindavana (June 6-8).<\/p>\n<p>The route approved for the festival, Via del Corso, right in the prestigious center of the city, has never been assigned to any event , even famous mundane events! Lord Krishna surely used His powerful yoga-maya energy to all those who were to grant the various permissions, and finally it&#8217;s done!<\/p>\n<p>This victory is mainly due to Mukundananda prabhu&#8217;s long and persistent endeavor for such unique, difficult and sensational devotional service. He did not sleep in the last 3\/4 days, only his determination and ability have allowed this historic milestone. The inspector of the police is said to have increased his weight by 5 kg, by dint of eating all these cakes and laddu sweets expertly administrated by Mukundananda prabhu.<\/p>\n<p>Dear devotees and friends, please take note that the famous Via del Corso of Rome is a very narrow street, the acoustics are tremendous, so the holy names will resound in a such sublime and powerful way that all the demigods surely will be attracted and will want to be present as well.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, the Ratha-yatra will be done in the same place, where about 30 years ago an other &#8220;significant&#8221; event took place.<br \/>\nThe Hare Krishna devotees, while performing Harinama, were attacked by a group of anarchists and one of them, myself, was shot down on the floor with a karate kick and suffered temporary amnesia. For me this is an amazing &#8220;rematch&#8221; and I am really pleased , happy and satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>Your servant<br \/>\nMrtyuhara dasa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads4\/20140521bveEP1ae.jpg\" alt=\"\"  width=\"600\" \/><img src= \"http:\/\/dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads4\/2014-05-21_17-41-32.jpg\"\/><strong>By Mrtyuhara Das<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> The route approved for the festival, Via del Corso, right in the prestigious center of the city, has never been assigned to any event , even famous mundane events!
