Dear Devotees,
Hare Krishna! Please accept our Humble Obeisance. Jay Srila Prabhupada.
After dreaming for many years, by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and HH Subhaga Swami, 1st Sri Jagannath Ratha Yatra Festival will be conducted in batam on 22 Dec 2013. We are very small devotees in this island thus we consider this festival is very big project. Devotees from Indonesia have made very beatiful rath for Sri Sri Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra. Batam government has also gave their support to this festival and permision was given. The success of this 1st Rathayatra festival will determine future of another festival. Thus we pray that huge number of devotees from Singapore can attend this 1st Batam Jagannath Ratra Yatra.
Devoteess can be back to singapore at the same day or stay in Batam based on the acomodation request.
Hotel Rate : 25 – 50 SG$. We will announce soon the selected hotel.
Our humble request to all Singapore devotees to please encourage all devotees from all congregations to come to Batam & shower us with your mercy.
