Jhulan Yatra
→ Ramai Swami
One of the most popular events in the holy town of Vrindavan, India – where Lord Krishna appeared 5,000 years ago – is the celebration of Jhulan Yatra, the Radha-Krishna swing festival. In Vrindavan among the local villagers and inhabitants this festival lasts for 13 days.
This is one of the biggest festivals of the year and Vrindavana is very crowded at this time. Literally hundreds of thousands of people from surrounding towns and villages visit Vrindavan over this period in the auspicious month of Shravana (July-Aug). The swings can be simple, but often they are made of gold or silver.
In Vrindavan for five days, in many of the 5000 temples there, the small Utsav-vighraha, functional Deities, are taken from the altar and placed on an elaborately decorated swing in the temple room. After receiving the traditional arati worship, the Deities are pushed on Their swing.
Members of the congregation are invited to participate. Each person offers flower petals and personal prayers, and then pushes the swing several times as the other members chant Hare Krishna, Jaya Radhe Jaya Krishna jaya Vrindavan, or Jaya Radhe, Jaya Jaya Madhava dayite in kirtan. The atmosphere of this festival is especially sweet as everyone has the chance to intimately serve Radha and Krishna.
