From Srila Prabhupada:

So today [Ratha Yatra] is a very nice, auspicious day. On this day Lord Krsna, when He was present on this earth, He attended a solar eclipse ceremony at Kuruksetra, and Krsna, along with His brother Balarama, and Subhadra, sister, came to visit the Kuruksetra field. That Kuruksetra land is still present in India. If someday you'll go to India you'll find that Kuruksetra land is there. So this Ratha-yatra ceremony is performed in commemoration of Krsna's visiting Kuruksetra with His brother and sister. So Lord Jagannatha, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He was in ecstasy. He was in the mood of loving spirit like Radharani, so He was thinking, "Krsna, please come back again to Vrndavana.'' So He was dancing before the Ratha-yatra, and you will understand, if you read some of the books published by you..., published by our society. -- "Spiritualize Your Chariot," June 21st, 1971, San Francisco
