Divine intervention: ISKCON spokesperson credits Lord Jagannath for Donald Trump's safety

New Delhi: ISKCON, the global Hindu spirtual movement, claimed that former US President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during an election rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, because of the intervention by Lord Jagannath. 

What ISKCON spokesperson said? 

Radharaman Das, an ISKCON spokesperson said that Donald Trump was involved with the first Rath Yatra in New York 48 years ago. He said that, during which he reportedly assisted devotees in organising Rathyatra by providing his train yard for the construction of the raths for free and Lord Jagannath reciprocate this favour by protecting former President of United States. 

Former US President helped Krishna devotees

ISCKON was planning to organise the first Rath Yatra in New York City, but the challenges were galore. Fifth Avenue permitted them for parade, it was nothing short of a miracle. Former US president Donald Trump emerged as a ray of hope for the Krishna devotees. 

Trump assassination attempt 

The 78-year-old Trump was hit in the ear by a gunman at a campaign rally on Saturday. He was left with a bloodied face while a bystander was killed and two other people were wounded. Trump told the Post he would have been dead had he not tilted his head slightly to the right to read a chart on illegal immigrants while addressing the rally. President Joe Biden, a Democrat, ordered a review of how a 20-year-old man with an AR-15-style rifle got close enough to shoot at Trump from a rooftop on Saturday.
