In adoration of Sri Jagannath, the classic, world-famous chariot festival, the Navakalevara tradition, the significance of the Mahaprasad, the hectic daily rituals and Mahalaxmivratt are unique and wonderful. Why and how, you ask? The learned Brahmins and Vedic philosophers established Him as the source of all happiness and cause of liberation. Many argue this ancient culture and tradition has immense potential to bind the whole world. It is the ultimate devotional stream for the unstable and straying humankind of the present world. But who consecrated this most pious, most sacred parambrahma in this king of pilgrim centers? Why is Purushotamkshetra most endeared to Mahavishnu? Why is the Lord as well as the place called purushotam here? Where was He before this? Who was brought alive by this great tradition? How did it happen and from when has it being going on? Niladrisha answers these questions, and ends all the skepticism associated with it. It will push the reader into a world of devotional thoughts.
“Namastuvyam,Namastuvyam Namastyuvyam Namoh Namah.
Saranam twam propannowsmi Jagannath Namoshstute”
Rohit Panigrahi
A devotee of difference!
Since childhood, Sri Rohit Kumar Panigrahi’s ensued love and deep devotion for his lovely Lord. It encouraged him to pen down the hidden aspects of this enigmatic cult. Though the author was born in a remote village in Dhenkanal district of Odisha – 200 km away from the permanent abode of Sri Jagannath, Srikshetra Puri – his transcendental feeling of experience and inclusiveness prompted him to narrate this gigantic culture. Niladrisha, the Supreme receiver of devotional thoughts, is the first ever book by Sri Panigrahi, an ardent devotee and profound lover of Sri Jagannath.
Sri Panigrahi has established Lord Shrikrishna as a guiding force for his simple living that sails to a spiritual world, where Bankabihari Balakrishna, the Lord of the universe exists. I am sure this unique presentation, Niladrisha, succinctly reflects the vivid depiction of the Jagannath cult will be widely appreciated by devotees and scholars.
