Devotees in El Paso, Texas held their first Rathayatra parade on October 2nd, to an enthusiastic response. The city, which stands on the Rio Grande across the Mexico–United States border from Ciudad Juárez, has an 81% Hispanic population. It is home to a small Hare Krishna congregation, with weekly programs held at the El Paso Preaching Center by president Krishna Charan Das.
Rathayatra co-organizers Kesava Priya Das – who owns hotels in El Paso and all over Texas – and Chaitanya Chandra Das – who has been holding programs in El Paso for eleven years – brought in devotees from all over the US for the festival, paying for and arranging their travel, accommodation and prasadam.
