Pulling Krishna Home| 49mins
Director: Vasudeva Das | Producer: BhakTV
Focus Years: 1993 | Country: India
Synopsis:
This in-depth documentary describes the 1990 Rathayatra parade in Puri, Orissa, East India. It was first released in French, the author's mother tongue, in 1993 seventeen years before it premiered to an English-speaking audience, on July 17th 2010, at ISKCON's headquarters in Mayapur, India and simultaneously on the web at Mayapur TV. Rathayatra is a festival of monumental proportions, staged every year by a whole town before a million-strong pilgrims coming from all over India, and from abroad. The festival can be summed up in the three words of the title: Pulling Krishna Home. The first word, which denotes having some influence on the Supreme Being, is paradoxical - if there is one thing you don't do with God, it's pull Him, but on Rathayatra, you can. Krishna, of course, means God. And the last word of the title refers to God's home, not the kingdom where he reigns supreme, but rather the village where he plays like a child. And its the fact that God is pulled back to this childhood playground by his devotees for one week every year, that makes Rathayatra so sweet.
