Puri: A controversy has started over Rath Yatra is being organized in Houston, USA on the 9th. Gajapati Maharaja Dibyasingha Deba gave a press conference on Tuesday regarding the Adinia Rath Yatra (occasional Rath Yatra). Gajapati said that ISKCON’s ocassional Rath Yatra is a violation of the traditions of the temple.
Puri Gajapati said, despite writing a letter, ISKCON is organizing the Rath Yatra without accepting it. The Snana Yatra on the 3rd was canceled, but the Rath Yatra is being organized. It is not right to break the traditions of the temple. ISKCON has been organizing the Rath Yatra since 1969. After repeatedly saying that this Rath Yatra will not be held in India from 2021. But ISKCON is organizing this Rath Yatra abroad, breaking the rules. In such a situation, we will take the legal route. We will have to wait until March. There is a meeting of the ISKCON Governing Council in March. If they agree there, it will be good. Otherwise, this time we will not let it be, it is too late. We explained a lot, waited a lot, but it has not been resolved. This is not a playground. If you do not comply now, we will be take the legal path. Go on a campaign tour but do not go on a chariot tour, said the Gajapati Maharaj.
