Pulling Krishna Home (Excerpts from the 1991 feature-length documentary)

A review by Madhava Smullen
reprinted from Iskcon News, 11 Sept 2010
For people who have attended Rathayatras in their own countries for years, as well as for members of the general public fascinated with Indian tradition, Puri Rathayatra seems rather unapproachable-a legendary and near mystical event, the grandfather of them all.
But BhakTV’s Pulling Krishna Home makes it a reality.
Starting on the peaceful morning of the Rathayatra, it soon throws you right bang into the surreal majesty of it all. The three gigantic colorful carts tower over an ocean of hundreds of thousands of fervent worshippers, and as Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra are carried out, it seems like something completely out of this world. The size and scale of everything-the crowd, the chariots, the Deities-is far beyond anything seen in international Rathayatras, and creates a dizzying experience.
