In His left hand Lord Jagannatha holds a flute, on His head He wears peacock feathers, and on His hips He wears fine yellow silken cloth. From the corners of His eyes He bestows sidelong glances upon His loving devotees, and He always reveals Himself through His pastimes in His divine abode of Vrndavana. May that Jagannatha Svami be the object of my vision.
ISKCON of CNJ celebrated Sri Sri Jagannath-Rukmini Vivaha on Sunday, June 15, 2008. Program began with an exciting lecture by HH Jayapataka Swami Maharaj glorifying Sri Bhagavad-Gita. This was followed by the actual marriage ceremony in a beautifully decorated marriage platform. Devotees took part in witnessing the marriage of Their Lordships as sweet kirtans accompanied the ceremony. The program reached its peak with a maha arati, and concluded with sumptuous prasadam.
