Today was glorious Ratha-yatra day, in London. Many of my friends were there, and I felt like a Cinderella left behind at home. So I looked on the London Rathayatra website and found this charming video taken at last year's festival. It put me in the mood! - I clapped my hands and danced and sang along. It doesn't matter what age, shape or size you are, kirtan is for everyone - you don't even have to be able to sing in tune.
Fervent prayers flew from me to Lord Jagannatha, that I might be strong enough to go next year. But next year seems so far away. Anyway, it is incentive to do all the right things to get better.
It's such a wonderful festival - so many Vaishnavas together, singing their hearts out.
