Ratha-yatra is a chance for everyone to taste the joy and variety of spiritual life.
It gives us a taste of the happy life of Krishna consciousness we are all looking for.
It is a chance to absorb our senses in service of Krishna.
The Jagannatha Rathayatra is one of the major festivals and attended by millions
of pilgrims at Sri Ksetra, Puri Dham. For fifteen days, Lord Jagananth has remained
in seclusion with Maha Lakshmi to enjoy pastimes with her.
Now, having taken her permission, He comes out to ride upon His Ratha, and, thus,
performs pastimes for the pleasure of His devotees.
Transcendental Hootenanny is a sincere effort by the Texas Krishnas
to deliver a process for reviving our dormant love of God. We truly believe
that the masses of people are innocent and that only due to forgetfulness of
their eternal relationship with God is there so much discord and strife in society.
Our scriptures tell us that not only is God a good God but that He has
specific names, attributes, and activities,all unlimitedly beautiful,
colorful and attractive.
Simply a brief exposure to these names and attributes is enough to begin to
awaken the memory of a long forgotten relationship with Him. And just as awakening
from a a dream the nightmare of material bondage will evaporate and our true
joyful nature will again become prominent.
Our goal is to bring the festive atmosphere of the Spiritual World to all
the people of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma, city by city,
town by town, giving everyone a chance to reclaim their spiritual birthright.
Lookout ya'll we're coming thru!! stay tuned in for inspirations,
events, and updates. Hare Krishna!
