Lord Jagannath in Suriname

Please see below a video of the first Ratha Yatra Festival Carriage Conveyance where Krishna devotees pull the chariot of Lords Jagannath and Baladeva with Their sister Subhadra.

This was shared by Paramatma Das, who personally supervised this first-time special event in Suriname.

The irony of it is that right at the moment I received the link about this from him, I am reading a rendering by a person who was there at the sonderkommando of Auschwitz concentration camp. Some of this book has many German words. Thus to hear a person of India (India) descent speak fluent Dutch, which is a sister language of German brings to mind the twists and turns of history.

If the Nazis had their way, we would perhaps all be speaking German. But how is it that anyone whose ancestry moved across oceans as indentured servants to get to the northern coast of South American, now speaks fluent Dutch about Lord Krishna.

The material world is so strange!
