On the eve of Ratha-yatra, Swami discusses the significance and mystical meaning of this festival, interspersed with many anecdotes of his early service in Iskcon as well as the transition that culminated in the founding of Audarya. Swami reveals his desire to serve Lord Jagannatha by helping to expand participation in Ratha-yatra and explains that it is when we cultivate the serving spirit and negate the enjoying spirit that we get the Lord's attention, symbolized in his form as Jagannatha by his wide-open eyes!
