San Francisco Ratha-yatra, Haight-Ashbury, 1968
"In the Brahmanda Purana it is said: 'A person who sees the Lord's Ratha-yatra car festival and then stands up to receive the Lord can purge all kinds of sinful results from his body. 'A similar statement is there in the Bhavisya Purana, in which it is said: 'A person who follows the Ratha-yatra car when the Rathas (Deities) pass in front or from behind, even if born of a lowly family, will surely be elevated to the position of achieving equal opulence with Visnu."
(Nectar of Devoton, Chapter 9)
