‘Mercy on Wheels’ to roll out to 25,000 homes

June 20, Saturday. Kolkata 
This time, because of the COVID pandemic, Iskcon has been forced to cancel its 49-year-old Rath Yatra in the city. 

Iskcon this year, is taking a unique initiative to virtually bring the chariot, home to the devotees. A digital platform has been created and links have been provided for devotees, to register themselves as yajmans. Once the registration is completed, a unique code/number will be provided, against which the devotee will be informed when to expect the Ratha to roll into his house on June 23-24. 

The entire program is digitally coded, so every yajman logs in and waits for instructions. One has to log on at the appointed time and follow on-screen instructions step-by-step. According to sources, a massive digital meeting room will be created for this, so that devotees can participate.
