説明 | Chasing the Chariots: Nabakalebar Rathyatra, Puri 2015: The Final ChapterBeginnings, Significance & ImpactWe are a painfully religious country. Faith has always been our prime support system, and cornerstone to our belief in us and our existence. Even by these standards the emotional and spiritual connect people have with Lord Jagannath is exceptionally strong and unique. To truly understand the reasons behind this unique bond, we need to understand Jagannath’s philosophy and origins, something which the Rathyatra is an integral part of. So when and why did the Rathyatra begin? What is its significance and meaning to the Jagannath Philosophy?The atrocities inflicted on during the Mughal Dynasty are widely documented. It is said during this time the temple was attacked 12 times. While the temple itself remaining unscathed, according to the Garuda Puran, the idols were hidden away for 156 days by the erstwhile king Raja Ramachandra Deb. The day they were finally brought back the idols were taken through the streets to be viewed amongst much revelry by the people before taking their rightful place on the Ratna Singhasana.Typical to Indian culture however, sometimes history and myth merge into a glorious chimera of a story. According to the Skanda Puranathe the day King Indradyumna first installed the idols of Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra aeons ago is celebrated by a yearly divine bathing ritual called the Snan Yatra.On this day Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra and lady Subhadra are bathed with 108 pots of sanctified water drawn from a well within the temple. This yearly bath results in the Lords’ apparentlyfalling ill, eventually retiring to convalesce for a fortnight. You know how we really need to get out of the house after we’ve been cooped up for a long time? Well, that’s exactly how it is for the trinity. After a long convalescence, this is the Lord’s way of celebrating: a mosh pit party with his loving devotees and a visit to his aunt’s place for some good old family time. However, he makes a rookie mistake and leaves his wife Goddess Lakshmi back at the temple. You know he’s going to pay for that later. |
