From Kolkata, Adhikari visited the centuries-old Mahaprabhu Temple at Tamluk in East Midnapore district and was seen playing ‘khol’ (instrument used in singing devotional songs) while inaugurating the Rath Yatra.
“My visit to Rath Yatra has no political connection and I have been coming to this Mahaprabhu Temple for the last 10 years. I am Sanatani, a son of Bharat Mata, a disciple of Radha-Madhav, and I consider myself a servant of Lord Jagannath. I will visit Mayapur for a day within these nine days and will participate in ‘kirtan’,” said Adhikari, also mentioning that the mid-day meal for the school students will be prepared by ISKCON.
