Rathayatra The Hague 2011 |
But the only those who love the God are better known as the devotee and they do everything to please the Lord. In this respect the individual irrespective of their background who opt the Vedic culture that promotes the practice of the higher consciousness in the loving service of the Lord come together. Such a group of people mainly the forerunner of the Krishna temple in The Hague under the guidance of Srila Prabhupada, Shyam Sundar prabhu and his pious family members are chosen to build a temple in the The Hague which will eventually become the biggest one in Europe. The Dutch government has kindly gave the permission and demarcated a piece of land where a Sikh Gurudwar and a temple for the followers of Arya Samaj will be built connecting each other.
During the Rathayatra the parade passed across the place where the temple will be built. This is was also an event in which the Lord Sri Jagannath surveyed the area. There were thousands of people gathered and walked across the city pulling the rope of the parade. This type of Vedic cultural festival promotes peace on earth because everyone is welcome to the procession. At the end there's usually grand vegetarian feast freely served as the mercy of the Lord. One simple has to take the advantage of this type of spiritual event and in order to elevate themselves to higher consciousness. But not many would turn up owing to their lack of proper pure intelligence. They remain in the materialistic entanglement.

Fortunate people taking advantage of Ratha yatra and prasad |
The temple however will be built by the devotees and friends of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness is in fact belongs to everyone. This society propagates the Sanatan Dharma- the eternal occupation of the soul to love God and be in connection with the servitorship attitude is in fact the constitutional position of every individual. This is often interpreted in many ways according to the whims of the people and that brings the separated feelings of 'I' and 'They'. But the in The Netherlands is that everyone would come forward to build this temple and take advantage of participating in the process of developing the Krisna- the higher consciousness. Naamhat Boxtel will support this construction morally and financially to whatever level it can.
