The controversy surrounding untimely Rath Yatra celebrations by ISKCON has resurfaced after devotees reported such events in Germany and Atlanta, USA.
Videos shared by devotees abroad highlighted their protest against the unauthorised rituals. They alleged that ISKCON organised Rath Yatra outside the traditional calendar, sparking outrage among followers who consider the timing sacred.
According to complaints, the untimely Rath Yatra undermines the sanctity of the festival and disregards traditional practices observed in Puri. Devotees expressed concern that such actions distort the spiritual essence of the rituals.
The issue gained traction after devotees recorded video messages from overseas, demanding accountability from ISKCON authorities. They claimed the organisation ignored repeated objections and continued with the untimely celebrations.
