Narendra Sarovar Editor’s Note For ages, the Grand Temple of Lord Jagannath at Puri has been treated as one of the holy places of our country. It has commanded the reverence of pilgrims and scholars from around the world. Puri, also known as Purushottam Kshetra, has been acclaimed as one of the four Dhams of the country. Situated on the east coast of the country and overlooking the sea the huge temple of Lord Jagannath has been, through ages, transmitting the message of love, universal brotherhood and self perfection which comprises the highest goal of life. Jagannath cult is vivacious and greatest philosophy ever known to mankind. Lord Jagannath is a symbol and forever remains the message of love, truth and tolerance. The Rath Yatra is a grand culmination of a series of celebrations spread over summer and monsoon months. On the 2nd of bright fortnight of the month of Ashadha the deities come out of the temple in a spectacular procession called Pahandi. The deities adorned with Tahias are pulled in rhythmic moment to the beat of cymbals and chanting of the names of the holy Trinity in chorus by the devotees in frenzied ecstasy. After the deities are seated on Their respective chariots starts the Chhera Panhara by the Gajapati Maharaja. The most exciting part is the pulling of the chariots by lakhs of people along Bada Danda, the Grand Road. The chariots move slowly until they reach the Gundicha temple where the deities rest for a night adorned with Dasavatar costumes. They enter the Gundicha temple in the next day morning in the usual Pahandi style and stay there for 7 days. On the 10th day of bright fortnight of Ashadha, the return of chariots or the Bahuda Yatra takes place. The three chariots pulled by lakhs of devotees reach the Simhadwar. The next day the deities are attired in the costumes of glittering gold which is known as Sunabesha. After completion of certain rites on the Rath like “Adharapana”, the deities go back to Ratna Simhasana on the Dwadashi day which is popularly known as “Niladri Bije’’. Their arrival to the sanctum sanctorum marks the end of Rath Yatra, the grand festival of chariots. The whole world eagerly awaits the periodical renewal of the wooden body- divine of the deities named as Navakalevar to be held in 2015. According to Hindu Religion, the body is perishable and takes another form after death but the soul is immortal. Thus, the ceremony is unique in many respects in term of Hindu religious worship. It involves the total replacement of the images with new ones and the discarded images are given a divine burial in Koili Baikuntha in the precinct of Sri Jagannath temple. The Navakalevar ritual which is an important part of Jagannath

  • The Style of Gita Govinda Recital and Odissi Music
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org ||Volume 4 Issue 10 || October. 2015 || PP.40-43 The Style of Gita Govinda Recital and Odissi Music Dheeraj Kumar Mohapatra Guest Faculty, Odissi Vocal Department, Utkal University Of Culture, India ABSTRACT : In Gita Govinda, Sri Jayadeva has embellished the philosophy, metaphysics, ontology and mysticism in erotic words, melodious versifications, ardent love pictures and pornography delineating the clandestine love of Radha and Krishna. It points to union of natural beings with super nature. Jayadeva Radha is not only radiant, fascinating or angelic, she represents celestial beauty and her union with Krishna, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, unfolds supreme love and eternal delight. One does not require surveying the history, delving deep into texts and characteristic features of Odissi system to understand its classy style if he at least reads and listens to Gitagovinda of Sri Jayadeva. As this sacred piece of lyrical poem contains all the salient and distinguishing features of classical music, the reader or listener must appreciate the uniqueness and wholesomeness of Odissi as the third system of classical music in the domain of Indian music. Sri Jayadeva has not only originated a specific music tradition, systematic form and definite melodic pattern, raga-tala repertoires but also built a socio-cultural community. The purity, sanctity and characteristic features of Odissi music have been enriched refined and pervaded its horizon through Gitagovinda of Sri Jayadeva. KEYWORDS: JAYADEVA, GITA GOVINDA, ODISSI, MUSIC, CLASSICAL Introduction Music is an integral part of human life, which is created when the vibratory waves are brought into melodious audible notes in material form.

  • Palm Leaf Manuscripts Inheritance of Odisha: a Historical Survey
    International Journal of Sanskrit Research 2019; 5(4): 77-82 ISSN: 2394-7519 IJSR 2019; 5(4): 77-82 Palm leaf manuscripts inheritance of Odisha: A © 2019 IJSR www.anantaajournal.com historical survey Received: 16-05-2019 Accepted: 18-06-2019 Dr. Jharana Rani Tripathy Dr. Jharana Rani Tripathy PDF Scholar Dept.of Sanskrit Pondicherry University, Introduction Pondicherry, India Odisha was well-known as Kalinga, Kosala, Odra and Utkala during ancient days. Altogether these independent regions came under one administrative control which was known as Utkala and subsequently Orissa. The name of Utkala has been mentioned in Mahabharata, Ramayana and Puranas. The existence of Utkala as a kingdom is found in Kalidas's Raghuvamsa. It is stated that king Raghu after having crossed the river Kapisa reached the Utkala country and finally went to Kalinga. The earliest epigraphic evidence to Utakaladesa is found from the Midnapur plate of Somdatta which includes Dandabhukti within its jurisdiction1. The plates record that while Sasanka was ruling the earth, his feudatory Maharaja Somadatta was governing the province of Dandabhukti adjoining the Utkala-desa. The Kelga plate 8 indicate s that Udyotakesari's son and successors of Yayati ruled about the 3rd quarter of eleventh century, made over Kosala to prince named Abhimanyu and was himself ruling over Utkala After the down-fall of the Matharas in Kalinga, the Gangas held the reines of administration in or about 626-7 A, D. They ruled for a long period of about five hundred years, when, at last,they extended their power as far as the Gafiga by sujugating Utkala in or about 1112 A.

  • Sri Ramakrishna & His Disciples in Orissa
    Preface Pilgrimage places like Varanasi, Prayag, Haridwar and Vrindavan have always got prominent place in any pilgrimage of the devotees and its importance is well known. Many mythological stories are associated to these places. Though Orissa had many temples, historical places and natural scenic beauty spot, but it did not get so much prominence. This may be due to the lack of connectivity. Buddhism and Jainism flourished there followed by Shaivaism and Vainavism. After reading the lives of Sri Chaitanya, Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother and direct disciples we come to know the importance and spiritual significance of these places. Holy Mother and many disciples of Sri Ramakrishna had great time in Orissa. Many are blessed here by the vision of Lord Jagannath or the Master. The lives of these great souls had shown us a way to visit these places with spiritual consciousness and devotion. Unless we read the life of Sri Chaitanya we will not understand the life of Sri Ramakrishna properly. Similarly unless we study the chapter in the lives of these great souls in Orissa we will not be able to understand and appreciate the significance of these places. If we go on pilgrimage to Orissa with same spirit and devotion as shown by these great souls, we are sure to be benefited spiritually. This collection will put the light on the Orissa chapter in the lives of these great souls and will inspire the devotees to read more about their lives in details. This will also help the devotees to go to pilgrimage in Orissa and strengthen their devotion.

  • Budget Speeches Presented Before This August House Starting from the First Budget Laid by Maulavi Saiyd Sir Muhammad Saadulla on 3Rd August 1937
    1. Speaker Sir, I stand before this August House today to present my fifth and final budget as Finance Minister of this Government led by Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Sarbananda Sonowal. With the presentation of this Budget, I am joining the illustrious list of all such full-time Finance Ministers who had the good fortune of presenting five budgets continuously. From the Financial Year 1952-53 up to 1956-57, Shri Motiram Bora, from 1959-60 to 1965-66, former president of India Shri Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed in his capacity as Finance Minister of Assam, and then Shri Kamakhya Prasad Tripathi from 1967-68 to 1971-72 presented budgets for five or more consecutive years before this August House. Of course, as and when the Chief Ministers have held additional responsibility as Finance Minister, they have presented the budget continuously for five or more years. This achievement has been made possible only because of the faith reposed in me by the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal and by the people of Assam.
