The advent of three lords it’s story all odiyas know,lord Jagannath’s previous incarnation is lord Krishna, after the death of lord Krishna his body was cremated burnt by pandavas, but the blue lotus of his naval part was not burnt washed in ocean water turned into an idle called nilla madhava was worshipped by hunter king Biswabasu in the next generation,the beginning of  kaliyug  but the image of nillamadava was stolen by Bidyapati with a conspiracy with king Indradyumna, that is also a thousand years of past  odiya story during the dynasty or empire of king Indradyumna, but what about the  two hundred years back story, lord Jagannath and his temple was attacked several times by the muslim ruler Aurangzeb, the devotees  suffered a tremendous mental torture, lived the life of hell for hundred years under a continuous fear, threat that mughal emperor ,dynasty will destroy the temple and will steal the beloved, desired lords of odisha ,yes they devotee suffered a lot. They hide the original idols for hundred years secretly in Khurda, hi great devotee Jagannath Harichndan was successful in hiding the deities of lords.The royal dynasty of khurda deserve gratitude for such a adventurous work, any time their lifes were at risk in the service of dear lords. The great emperor Aurangzev attacked  lord jagannath temple which he considered the greatest glory, highest faith, dignity of hindu lord,the greatest desired dham,jagannath dham among four dhams of lord Vishnu where he stays with full spiritual sanctity,holiest place of Hinduism, yes Yakub khan destroyed  raiding the temple with his military force three times but was not success full to carry the deities  of lords to agra and delhi his capital place at that time. Lords plays miracles with his devotees, it is his wish when ,where he goes with the passage of time ,we are the instruments in his hands how he feels ,moulds, guides ,direct our lifes, the vital energy, the existing supreme soul either in the form of sun ,moon or lord jagannath with his blue lotus in his naval, attracting like a magnetic force to all his devotees living all over the world giving the urge to love him, complete surrender to the highest energy, supreme power dominates over all hearts and minds, pervading over the universe his spiritualism, beyond our imagination but within our feel, sensation, spiritual  consciousness,  he never discriminates among his devotees, he is never attached with any one’s desires, or actions good or bad is not bound by earthly passion only he gives hungry urge for a spiritual passion in dvotees hearts and minds to feel him. In the revival of history we can believe such facts the cruel reality we know, he loves all muslims his great muslim devotee is salbegh, to show dignity to his devotee ,every year during car festival his chariots stays near salbegh  house to get his offerings ,thousands of muslims carry his sacred rope of Nandighosa chariot, taladwaja and debadalana…I will mention his relation stories about his devotees later on………………….jai jagannath………………..      …………………………….

Lords and his devotees

Lords want his devotees to be bound with his love, a spiritual love an ocean of love never dries or ends. He himself  becomes the devotee of his beloved ,serves him ,caring his emotions and thoughts as a mother, guide and philosopher. He fulfills the desires, ambitions of his devotees accepting his earthly passions and deepest love ,the tribute, the devotees offer  him , in what ever form a flower ,water food  or his feelings, emotion, love, he accepts it. He fills the minds of his devotees with pure spiritual love beyond all earthly passions though he accepts the love in a humanly way.It is said, lord jagannath is just thirsty for his devotees love as lord Krishna loved all gopas and gopies, examining, observing the intensity of his devotee’s patience,  consistency in love and ultimate devotion as he likes to see the ecstasy of his beloved love the intensity of urge to have his blessings  with utmost sincerity. He makes his beloved crazy, who forgets everything abandoning all earthly dsires . Lords love those devotees who work for him in a service motive like  service to man is service to god, the person who serves the society thinks for the development ,upholds all social values ,principles, moral values of the society  doing it in various ways .The devotees can preach all religious idealisms ,ehics, which go in favour of society and the changing society relating to various aspects not only is constricted to religious ground, other fields like, education, politics, women right and dignity too. As lord Krishna saved the dignity of Draupadi when kauravas humilliated her in kuru sabha but, lord has always excused Dhyurodhana extending friendly hands, sending invitations of negotiation with pandavas for hundred times , at last he fought mahabharat battle to protect religion. Lord jagannath has always tries to give dignity equal right to his devotees indiscriminating caste, creed and religious ground. He gives desires, passion, love to his devotees and again he quenches that sensual or spiritual thirst.He is the most humanly god, he is impressed ,attracted by the love devotion of his beloved, debadasis used to dance in dance hall near the deities,even the same system is still followed in various temples. I extracted some sranzas depicting lord’s favourite enchanting love songs which the great poet Jaidev has written in giti govind a great creation, which describes the romantic scenes, sublime beauty of Radha krishna romance the inner significance lies in it. He wrote how Ratha surrendered her love to Krishna, picturising the love, romance scenes magnificently. Annuradha padwal sang on this ground, lords face became black with the kajal of my eyes, his lips is red with the colour of my red sindoor.
  Lords have loved his devotees Dasia Bauri accepting his offerings when orthodox brahmines rejected his offering considering him as a scheduled caste, lord jagannath has sat on Balaram Das’s chariot when brahmines denied him touch the chariot, lords were bound by his devotee’s  deepest love ,abundant faith. The great devotee Bandhu Mohanty went through several examinations being arrested as a thief in rayal court was imprisoned but never gave up his faith from lord ,with unfathomable faith he prayed god, accepted what ever punishment lord gave him, atlast he got his blessings, his desire was fulfilled he was honoured as the great devotee of lord, with rest of his life he stayed with lords with dignity at the service of lord jagannath in puri. Lord jagannath was tied with the love of his devotee Salbegh, a muslim by birth, when he said, ‘lord do not move your chariot stay there on your chariot  until I reach there’, because he was on the way on his journey, could not be able to reach there on badadanda, grand road, puri, to visit lords. Salbegh was coming from delhi to puri on walking, the chariot nandighosa could not move an inch from it’s place  until his devotee reached there, the song has been written by salbegh, ‘mohajibajaen thiba nandighose rahi,jagabandhu he gosain, the great singer Bhikari balla has written ‘bhikari karibajebe tuma iccha nahin mo manare dukha singha dwara bina ana duaraku pataibi nahin hata mahabahu’ Lord is known as mahabahu, mahabhuja,mahabrahmam ,mahadaru,sarbabyapi ,sanatana,sakara nirakara, brahmarupam .Oh lord, ‘accept my deepest devotion towards you make me your dust  or a flower of your garlands make no difference to me I remain as  your devotee for ever’ . These are the stories ,legends relating to the past life of lord jagannath which gives sufficient proofs of lords sincere love, devotion for his devotees the never ending bond attachment, spiritual or sensual between the lord and his devotees, who achieve the highest values of  life, the supreme entity of lords, lord jagannath’s existence is pervading all over the world embracing, enthralling with the enchanting ,divine spirit and love for his devotees ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Jai ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Jagannath
