Stop Untimely Ratha Yatra

This year's Ratha Yatra is on July 16th.

But, ISKCON has been organising Ratha Yatra on any day, e.g. ISKCON London & ISKCON New Orleans celebrated Ratha Yatra on- May 24, 2026.

A number of cities like New York City, Atlanta City, Edinburgh etc. are celebrating Ratha Yatra on different dates in June!

Our points-

🗓️When most of the days like Janmashtami, Shree Ram Navami, Ekadashi, Dvadashi, Trayodashi, Chaturdashi, etc. are celebrated in accordance with the tithi and on the designated dates as per the calendar, why the exception for our Mahaprabhu's Ratha Jatra?

When there is willpower and intention, there we can expect uniform date celebration.

When organizers take great pains to celebrate western and Indian festivals on the particular dates, why such a "sab chalta hai" ("everything will do" and any date can be picked) attitude for our Ratha Jatra?

My Father's Tithi Birthday- Bamana Janma and Onam

Today is a very auspicious day- The Dwadasi of Bhadra i.e. "the 12th day of the bright fortnight of Bhādra" is celebrated as "Bamana Janma" & "Onam."

Today is the tithi birthday of my father, Shri A.K.Sabat Finance Guru - CA AK Sabat.
Papa was born on this day (& not date).
May Mahaprabhu bless him with great health and happiness and fulfill all his wishes🙏
