  • Madison Hindu Community Celebrates Chariot Festival
    Madison Hindu Community Celebrates Chariot Festival (Report by Akash Pattnaik, 10th grade, Middleton High School, Wisconsin) In the seaside city of Puri, Odisha, India one million people gather every year to witness a grand spectacle, the Rath Yatra. The Chariot Festival begins when the three gods—Lord Jagannath, his elder brother Lord Balabhadra, and younger sister Lord Subhadra—board three magnificent, forty-five feet chariots and pay a visit to their “garden house”, the Gundicha Temple, two miles from their home. During the procession, the gods are brought to their vehicles and pulled across the Grand Avenue by devotees from around the world of all religions. It is considered very pious to even catch a glimpse of the gods while they are in their chariots. This event is broadcasted live across India and on international networks abroad. To keep connections with some of the biggest festivals in Hinduism and raise awareness of the Chariot Festival abroad, the American Hindu Association held the second annual Rath Yatra at the Hindu Temple and Cultural Center (HTCC) in Fitchburg on the 13th of July 2013. The festivities mirrored those occurring 8000 miles away in Puri with the procession of the chariot around the HTCC’s 7 acre property. The 400 attendees took part in the festivities which closely matched those occurring in Puri, India. The priest Pt. Raghuchandra Bhatt from Milwaukee conducted the ceremony and the lords were offered more than 40 Indian delicacies. Devotees returned from pulling the chariots to a fun-filled Indian fair. The American Hindu Association and Taj Indian Restaurant sold mouth-watering Indian snacks.

After returning from Badrinath, Adiyen also visited Tirumala-Tirupati and participated in Vimsathi darshanam a scheme which allows a family of 6 members to have Suprabatham, Nijapada and SahasraDeepalankara seva for any 2 consecutive days in a year . It was only due to the abundant grace of Thiruvengadamudaiyan adiyen was able to vist all the Divya desams without any difficulty. Before proceeding further, Adiyen would like to thank all the internet bhagavathas especially Sri Rangasri group members and M.S.Ramesh for providing abundant information about these divya desams. I have uploaded a Map of the hills again downloaded from UP Tourism site for ready reference . As Adiyen had not planned the trip in advance, it was not possible to join “package tour” organised by number of travel agencies and could not do as it was Off season. Adiyen wishes to share my experience with all of you and request the bhagavathas to correct the shortcomings. Adiyen was blessed to take my father aged about 70 years a heart patient , to this divya desam and it would not be an exaggeration to say that only because of my acharyar’s and elders’ blessings , the trip was very comfortable.
