Gajapati Maharaja Dibyasingha Deb has written a strong letter to the ISKCON headquarters in Mayapur, urging them to stop organizing Rath Yatra and Snana Yatra on non-prescribed dates. He emphasized that according to the Skanda Purana and Jagannath tradition, Snana Yatra should only be held on Jyeshtha Purnima and Rath Yatra on Ashadha Shukla Dwitiya. The letter points out that ISKCON's planning of these festivals outside the traditional 9-day window violates scriptural mandates and hurts the sentiments of millions of devotees worldwide. https://otvkhabar.in/odisha/gajapati-maharaja-sends-strong-letter-to-iskcon-over-untimely-rath-yatra-celebrations-12136754 #creator program
