Hare Krsna
Invitation for Ratha Yatra from Srila Prabhupada
Prabhupāda: Therefore if you participate in these car festivals, as it is stated in the scriptures, rathe ca vāmanaṁ dṛṣṭvā punar janma na vidyate . . .If you kindly see these Jagannātha deities riding on these carts and in procession, and as Caitanya Mahāprabhu chanted the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra in front of this cart, then according to our Vedic scripture, if you participate in this festival, in your next life you‘ll go to back, back to home, back to Godhead.
Devotees: Jaya! All glories to Prabhupāda!
Prabhupāda: So at least I’ll request you to come and see this car festival. There is no expenditure, but it is simply joyful. You haven’t got to pay anything. You simply come, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, dance with us, and when you are tired we shall give you nice prasādam. So on behalf of Kṛṣṇa conscious society I invite you, all boys, girls, ladies and gentlemen, to take part in this car festival, and I thank you very much.
