Goddess Durga the embodiment of energy and dynamics that governs this material universe is revered by one and all. Then, there was a warning about the arrival of severe cyclonic storm ‘Phailin’. Incessant rainfall and severe cyclonic storm during 12th and 13th of October 2013 and the consequent flood devastated our State. The difference that I could notice in between the cyclonic storm of 1999 and “Phailin” of 2013 is that now we have a prepared Odisha, prepared for all eventualities. The rescue of 9 lakh people in three days is a kind of world record which would not have been possible had our Chief Minister not led from the front, having putting into place an effective infrastructure to meet the challenges of disaster over the years. It has been rightly pointed out by eminent political commentator Neerja Choudhury that non- controversial Naveen Patnaik could become a consensus leader for the post of Prime Minister if a third front emerges. The Odisha Chief Minister has stated time and again that he is not interested to move to Delhi. Neerja Choudhury concludes that “a situation will emerge when he does not seek a national role but a national role seeks him.” Our Chief Minister enjoys a clean, pro-poor and yet an industry friendly image. Time and again he has demonstrated that he has the political as well as administrative skills. His secular credentials are not in question having parted company with the NDA after the gruesome Kondhmal killings of Christians. Now the effective management of the severe cyclonic storm and consequent flood has resulted in his soaring popularity and a belief by the people of Odisha that we are on the right track. It is time that, we shall all resolve to play our part in our own ways to rebuild Odisha. Editor, Odisha Review October - 2013 Odisha Review The Cult of Lord Jagannath Sasmita Pattanaik Lord Jagannath is considered as the most By taking into consideration of the prevailing powerful and popular Deity of the Hindu religion. traditions and literary references, like the It is an indubitable fact that the cult of Jagannath Ramayana , Vishnu Purana (7th Cent A.D.), was inducted and indoctrinated into the religious Jnanasidhi (8th Cent. A.D.) and Trikandeswara life of the Hindus, which has traces of many (9th Cent. A.D.), we can get a look at the term of religious creeds and sects. There is debate ongoing Jagannath. about the impact of tribal culture upon the epitome of Indian culture i.e. the cult of Jagannath. The sediment of non-Vedic traditions gradually emerged into Aryanised form and various major faiths like Saivism, Saktism, Vaishnavism, Jainism and Buddhism have been assimilated into this Jagannath Cult. Till this time ideologists are having elaborate explanation regarding the Savar The special Non-Brahmin Priests in the inclination with Jagannath Cult.

The Primary 1 Odisha Review October - 2013 aspect of the Savara belief was the worship of the Brahmana Priest Vidyapati. They are therefore tree, log and the stone which is in use even today designated as Daita (descendants). Similarly to the Cult of Jagannath. Analyzing these factors another section of tribal priests known as Soara one can conclude the lineage of Lord Jagannath believed to be derivation of the term Savara. with the Savara deity.

  • Marma in Yoga and Other Ancient Indian Traditions 1
    Exploring the Science of Marma - An Ancient Healing Technique - Part 3: Marma in Yoga and Other Ancient Indian Traditions Alka Mishra*, Vandana Shrivastava Department of Ayurveda and Holistic Health, Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, Gayatrikunj-Shantikunj, Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India *Corresponding Author: Alka Mishra - Email: [email protected] License information for readers: This paper is published online under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) License, whose full terms may be seen at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Uploaded online: 27 June 2020 Abstract Marma Science is an extremely important branch of Ayurveda. Marma points are important vital places in the body, that are the ‘seats of life’ (Prana - the vital life force). As any injury to these parts may lead to severe pain, disability, loss of function, loss of sensation, or death, therefore, they hold an important place in the science of surgery, wherein they are considered ‘Shalya Vishayardha’ (half of the entire science of surgery). The ancient scriptures have strictly directed against causing any injury to these vital spots. However, recent researches have attempted the stimulation of Marma points for theraputic benefits, with encouraging outcomes. In view of these mutually conflicting, importance applications of Marma Science, the present study was undertaken for its in-depth study. Part-1 of this study presented the information about different aspects of Marma Science in various ancient / classical Indian scriptures. Part-2 gave a detailed description of the number of marmas, their location, structures involved, classification, effect of trauma, etc., as per classical texts, as well as correlation with modern science.
