Prabhupada, Ratha-yatra Lecture, London, July 13, 1972: Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you very much for your kindly participating in this festival, Ratha-yatra festival. This festival is coming down since five thousand years when Lord Krishna, along with His elder brother Balarama and His younger sister Subhadra, all together in a chariot came from Dvaraka to Kuruksetra. Kuruksetra is still existing, and the Dvaraka, the city, is also still existing. So according to Vedic culture, when there is eclipse, lunar eclipse, people take bath in sacred rivers. So especially they go to Kuruksetra, a pilgrimage. So Krishna along with His family members, brother and sister, came to Kuruksetra, and receiving this news, the gopis and inhabitants of Vrndavana, where Lord Krishna lived in His childhood, they came to see Him. So amongst the gopis, Srimati Radharani was the chief. And when she saw Krishna in Kuruksetra in all opulence, She said, “My dear Krishna, You are also here; I am also here. But We are missing Vrindavana. So I wish that You come along with Me again in Vrindavana and We enjoy in the forest of Vrindavana.” Full Lecture
