  • Madison Hindu Community Celebrates Chariot Festival
    Madison Hindu Community Celebrates Chariot Festival (Report by Akash Pattnaik, 10th grade, Middleton High School, Wisconsin) In the seaside city of Puri, Odisha, India one million people gather every year to witness a grand spectacle, the Rath Yatra. The Chariot Festival begins when the three gods—Lord Jagannath, his elder brother Lord Balabhadra, and younger sister Lord Subhadra—board three magnificent, forty-five feet chariots and pay a visit to their “garden house”, the Gundicha Temple, two miles from their home. During the procession, the gods are brought to their vehicles and pulled across the Grand Avenue by devotees from around the world of all religions. It is considered very pious to even catch a glimpse of the gods while they are in their chariots. This event is broadcasted live across India and on international networks abroad. To keep connections with some of the biggest festivals in Hinduism and raise awareness of the Chariot Festival abroad, the American Hindu Association held the second annual Rath Yatra at the Hindu Temple and Cultural Center (HTCC) in Fitchburg on the 13th of July 2013. The festivities mirrored those occurring 8000 miles away in Puri with the procession of the chariot around the HTCC’s 7 acre property. The 400 attendees took part in the festivities which closely matched those occurring in Puri, India. The priest Pt. Raghuchandra Bhatt from Milwaukee conducted the ceremony and the lords were offered more than 40 Indian delicacies. Devotees returned from pulling the chariots to a fun-filled Indian fair. The American Hindu Association and Taj Indian Restaurant sold mouth-watering Indian snacks.

  • Understanding the Return Ratha Yatra Part-01
    Photo by Bhakta Charles By Madhavananda Das Part one: THE OPULENT ANSWER Many devotees ask how we are to understand the Ulṭā, or Bahudhā — return Ratha-yātrā in Jagannath Puri? If (as Gaudiya Vaishnavas state) we consider the Guṇḍicā-yatra, or Ratha-yātrā to respresent the ecstatic emotions of the residents of Vrindavan taking Krishna home from Kuruksetra. How do we then understand the return Ratha-yātrā? Is it a festival celebrating taking Krishna away from Vrindavan? There are two sides, two answers, that can be offered to this question. To understand them, one first needs to consider something about the nature of Sri Jagannath Puri Dham. In his book, The Embankment of Separation (chapter 7), Srila Prabhupada’s Orissan disciple, Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Maharaja describes Lord Jagannath and Puri as: aiśvarya-mādhurya yugala-milana — “The combination of both opulence and sweetness.” This point is substantiated by Srila Sanatan Goswami who writes in his Bṛhad-Bhāgavatāmṛta (2.5.212): śrī-kṛṣṇa-devasya sadā priyaṁ tat kṣetraṁ yathā śrī-mathurā tathaiva tat-pāramaiśvarya-bhara-prakāśa lokānusāri-vyavahāra-ramyam “Just as Mathura-Vrindavan is eternally dear to Sri Krishna, so too is his abode of Purushottam Kshetra Jagannath Puri. There in Puri, Krishna displays supreme opulence and while at the same time presents pastimes that are full of sweetness.” Understanding Return Ratha-yatra Page — 2 This may strike the learned readers as confusing, for in terms of siddhānta, there is a vast difference between the qualities of aiśvarya, opulence; and mādhurya, sweetness. When jñāna and aiśvarya, knowledge of the Lord’s opulence and position, are present then rati-saṅkucita — love is shrunken.

  • 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.
