ISKCON, the global Hindu spiritual society, said that former US President Donald Trump nearly avoided an assassination attempt during an election rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday because of Lord Jagannath’s intervention.
ISKCON spokesperson Radharamn Das related this to Donald Trump’s participation in the inaugural Rath Yatra in New York 48 years ago, when he reportedly helped devotees. He urged that Lord Jagannath returned the favor by protecting Trump.
“Yes, for sure it’s a divine intervention. Exactly 48 years ago, Donald Trump saved the Jagannath Rathayatra festival. Today, as the world celebrates the Jagannath Rathayatra festival again, Trump was attacked, and Jagannath returned the favour by saving him,” Das, wrote on X (Formally twitter).
“In July 1976, Donald Trump helped ISKCON devotees organise Rathayatra by providing his train yard for the construction of the raths for free. Today, as the world celebrates the 9-day Jagannath Rathayatra festival, this terrible attack on him and his narrow escape show Jagannath’s intervention”, he added.
Radharamn Das also added, “Nearly 48 years ago, when the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) was planning to organize the first Rath Yatra in New York City, they faced numerous challenges. Obtaining a parade permit for Fifth Avenue was a miracle, and finding a large empty site to build the chariots seemed impossible. Despite knocking on many doors without success, it was then that former US President Donald Trump emerged as a ray of hope for the Krishna devotees.”
