Pennsylvania: ISKCON, the global Hindu spiritual movement, claimed that former US President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during at an election rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, because of the intervention by Lord Jagannath.<\/p>\n
An ISKCON spokesperson, Radharamn Das, linked this to Donald Trump\u2019s involvement with the first Rath Yatra in New York 48 years ago, during which he reportedly assisted devotees. He suggested that Lord Jagannath reciprocated this favour by protecting Donald Trump. <\/p>\n
\u201cYes, for sure it\u2019s 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,\u201d Radharamn Das, a spokesperson ISKCON Kolkata, posted on X (formally Twitter).<\/p>\n
ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) is a spiritual movement, more commonly known as the Hare Krishna movement.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 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\u2019s intervention\u201d, Radharamn Das added.<\/p>\n
Radharamn Das also said, \u201cNearly 48 years ago, when the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) was planning to organize the first Rath Yatra in New York City, challenges were galore. While the grant of parade permit at the Fifth Avenue was nothing short of a miracle, finding a huge empty site where chariots could be built was also never going to be easy. They knocked at the doors of every person possible, but in vain. It was then that the former US president Donald Trump emerged as a ray of hope for the Krishna devotees.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump, 78, was holding a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania \u2013 a key state in the November 5 election \u2013 when shots rang out, hitting his right ear and leaving his face streaked with blood. His campaign said he was doing well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
