ISKCON is facing severe criticism from Jagannath devotees for organizing Rath Yatra outside of its traditional schedule in foreign countries. Recently, ISKCON organized the festival in Johannesburg (South Africa) and Florida (USA) on dates not aligned with the original Puri calendar. Reports suggest ISKCON has scheduled 80 Rath Yatras and 10 Snana Yatras globally for 2026. Non-resident Odias and devotees expressed deep concern over this violation of traditions, while ISKCON is yet to provide an official response. https://otvkhabar.in/odisha/iskcon-again-faces-criticism-over-early-rath-yatra-celebrations-abroad-11844145 #creator program
