Radharamn Das, the Vice President and Spokesperson of Kolkata ISKCON, has found a link between Lord Jagannath and ex-US President Donald Trump escaping the assassination attempt during his rally in Pennsylvania.
Das said Trump has the blessings of the Hindu deity.
Describing Trumps narrow escape as divine intervention, Das wrote in his long X post: Yes, for sure its a divine intervention.
Das recollected the way Trump once saved the Rath Yatra festival in the USA.
Exactly 48 years ago, Donald Trump saved the Jagannath Rathayatra festival. Today, as the world celebrates the Jagannath Rathayatra festival again, Trump was attacked, and Jagannath returned the favor by saving him, Das said.

He said Donald Trump helped ISKCON devotees organize Rathayatra by providing his train yard for the construction of the raths for free in 1976.
Today, as the world celebrates the 9-day Jagannath Rathayatra festival, this terrible attack on him and his narrow escape show Jagannaths intervention, Das said.
Remembering Trumps role in hosting the Rath Yatra festival in New York, Das said: The first chariot procession of the Lord of the Universe Mahaprabhu Jagannath kicked off on the streets of NYC in 1976, with assistance from the then 30-year-old emerging real-estate mogul in United States of America Donald Trump.

Das said: Nearly 48 years ago, when the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) was planning to organize the first Rath Yatra in New York City, challenges were galore.
While the grant of parade permit at the Fifth Avenue was nothing short of a miracle, finding a huge empty site where chariots could be built was also never going to be easy. They knocked at the doors of every person possible, but in vain. It was then that the former US president Donald Trump emerged as a ray of hope for the Krishna devotees, he said.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has officially identified the man who attacked former US President Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks whose former classmates described him as a quiet boy who faced bullying in school.
The FBI said in a statement: The FBI has identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the subject involved in the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump on July 13, in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The FBI said the shooting incident is still under investigation.
Crooks was shot dead by the law enforcement.
The FBI did not reveal the motive behind the attack.
Several images of the attacker are now making the rounds on social media.
Thomas Matthew Crooks was a resident of Bethel Park in Pennsylvania and he was eligible to case his vote in the upcoming Presidential polls later this year.
The shooter graduated in 2022 from Bethel Park High School with a $500 prize for maths and science, BBC reported.
Crooks, who reportedly was a registered Republican, worked in a local nursing home.
He donated $15 to liberal campaign group ActBlue in 2021, reported BBC.
So far, investigators havent found any evidence on social media or other writings by Crooks that might help identify his motive for the attempted assassination, law enforcement officials told CNN.
