Thousands of Krishna devotees thronged the path of Yatra, which began from Shastri Nagar in the Andheri suburb of Mumbai and concluded at Hare Krishna Temple in Juhu.
“Participating in the Rath Yatra is an act of pure devotion. It convinces us that Lord Jagannath’s love for his devotees can bring him out of his sanctum, where everyone on an equal footing could witness his grace. It is said that taking part in the yatra is also a step towards self-realization,”; said Dinesh Shahra, whose book – Sanatan Leela is making waves across the country.
