Hare Kṛṣṇa,

Devotees from International Sri Krishna Mandir Australia are celebrating the annual festival ‘Jhūlana Yātrā’.

This festival honours a pastime of Lord Kṛṣṇa and Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇi’s eternal love. This sweet pastime is of Them swinging on a beautifully decorated swing during the rainy season in Vṛndāvana. The festival, which takes place over several days, is celebrated by devotees having the opportunity to personally swing Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa Deities along with Their glorification through a beautiful song.

Bhagavad-gītā 12.6-7

Text

ye tu sarvāṇi karmāṇi
mayi sannyasya mat-parāḥ
ananyenaiva yogena
māṁ dhyāyanta upāsate

teṣām ahaṁ samuddhartā
mṛtyu-saṁsāra-sāgarāt
bhavāmi na cirāt pārtha
mayy āveśita-cetasām

For one who worships Me, giving up all his activities unto Me and being devoted to Me without deviation, engaged in devotional service and always meditating upon Me, who has fixed his mind upon Me, O son of Pṛthā, for him I am the swift deliverer from the ocean of birth and death.

Jai Śrīla Prabhupāda!
