Bal Mukund kids can celebrate Rath Yatra at home:
Ratha Yatra is a great day for the devotees of Shree Krishna as the Lord himself comes out of the temple to give darshan to His devotees.
It may be difficult for many to reach the place and have the Divine Darshan. Don’t get disheartened! You can celebrate the Rath Yatra at your home.
Invite all your friends to join in the service of Lord Jagannathaji.
Make a small chariot of cardboard or wood with the help of your parents or elders. Decorate the chariot with fresh and colorful flowers. Put a small Dhwaja on it. You can also decorate the chariot with colorful lights. Spread a velvet cloth (red carpet) on it and make an asan for the Lord to sit. Sprinkle some perfume with a divine fragrance of chandan and rose. Spread rose petals near the asan of Lord to welcome Him. Tie long ropes or sticks to the chariot to pull it.
Now decorate the deities with new clothes, crown, beautiful necklaces, and garland of roses and other flowers. Put the deities of Lord Jagannathaji, Balaramaji, and Subhadraji in it with great reverence. Offer Them prasadam as bhog. You can offer fresh fruits, laddus (small sweet balls), or even chocolates. Try your best to offer home-made varieties to the Lord.
You can also sing Naam Sankirtan of Shree Krishna and Radhaji. Blow the counch. Ring the bells. Beat the drums. Use as many musical instruments to please the Lord. Pull the Chariot. Be gentle, avoid jerks. Distribute the prasadam of the Lord. Try to distribute it as much as possible.
Don’t forget to remember the Lord during the whole Rath Yatra. “Oh Lord! Grant me Your service... may my heart be engaged in Your service forever! Kindly bless me!”
Grab the chance to stroll with the Almighty Lord and His Siblings!
SERVE GOD ALWAYS!
