Our monumental three day Ratha Yatra festival was celebrated in June of 2019, with a kirtan pilgrimage Tompkins Square Park, underneath the famous Hare Krishna Tree; a kirtan experience at the major commercial intersection known as Times Square, the crossroads of the world where anywhere between 30,000 — 50,000 pass through per day; a Ratha Yatra Parade down New Yorks most well known street, fifth Avenue; and, finally a flower festival at ISKCON New York Citys Sri Sri Radha Govinda Temple
After visiting Yavat, where Radharani lived for some time, we walked to Ter Kadamba, a sacred place where Rupa Goswami did bhajan 500 years ago. Mother Sitala spoke on the pastimes of Rupa Goswami and Bada Haridas prabhu led us in singing the glories of the Six Goswamis. It was our final parikrama of Kartika, and one of the best as well.
