| history of puri jagannath temple: Origin & Antiquity of the Cult of Lord Jagannath Avinash Patra, 2011-06-23 In the Rig-Veda, 10.155.3, there is mention of a Daru (log of wood) floating in the ocean. Vedic prayers have indicated for taking shelter in the Daru. In spite of the fact that Acharya Sayana, the noted commentator on the Vedas, has categorically interpreted the hymn with Jagannath as the Daru floating at the sea shores, some scholars have refuted this interpretation under the argument that the hymn deals with âAlaxmi Stavaâ of Arayi. |

| history of puri jagannath temple: Republic of Religion Abhinav Chandrachud, 2020 How did India aspire to become a secular country? Given our colonial past, we derive many of our laws and institutions from England. We have a parliamentary democracy with a Westminster model of government. Our courts routinely use catchphrases like 'rule of law' or 'natural justice', which have their roots in London. However, during the period of colonial rule in India, and even thereafter, England was not a 'secular' country. The king or queen of England must mandatorily be a Protestant. The archbishop of Canterbury is still appointed by the government. Senior bishops still sit, by virtue of their office, in the House of Lords. Thought-provoking and impeccably argued, Republic of Religion reasons that the secular structure of the colonial state in India was imposed by a colonial power on a conquered people. It was an unnatural foreign imposition, perhaps one that was bound, in some measure, to come apart once colonialism ended, given colonial secularism's dubious origins. |

| history of puri jagannath temple: Ratha Yatra Subas Pani, 2017-11-13 Ratha Yatra, the ancient annual festival of the chariot and Jagannatha, the presiding deity of the great temple Srimandira at Puri, is one of the grandest spectacles on earth. Jagannatha (along with siblings Balabhadra and Subhadra) ride three colorful chariots in their annual sojourn to their garden house and birthplace Gundicha Temple, where they stay for seven days before returning back. Full of drama, vitality, and a panoply of rituals and ceremonies, Ratha Yatra is rooted in ancient traditions, myths and legends. It embodies the most colorful elements of the classical folk cultures of the Indian subcontinent and the Odisha region, and is the most succinct manifestation of India's heritage today. Celebrating the Hindu faith, this festival keeps Jagannatha alive and vibrant in the great pilgrim town of Puri, one of India's four most sacred cities. |

| history of puri jagannath temple: The Concept of Rudra-Śiva Through the Ages Mahadev Chakravarti, 1986 The present book throws new light on the gradual development of the concept of Rudra-Siva in his animal, phallic and human forms, since the days of the Harappa Civilization. It examines how Siva, the composite Aryan-non-Aryan Divinity, was not only admitted but was ultimately crowned with an exalted position in the Brahmanical pantheon; how the bull once identified with the deity, was regulated to the position of a vahana; how phallism was related to Saivism and also how Siva, in his different forms, was represented in early Indian Art and the Art of Further India. The wide range and depth of the author's research fills a vital gap in the subject and his treatment of the entire subject is unique. This methodical study on Siva also contains an exhaustive bibliography. |

| history of puri jagannath temple: Communalism, Caste and Hindu Nationalism Ornit Shani, 2007-07-12 Belligerent Hindu nationalism, accompanied by recurring communal violence between Hindus and Muslims, has become a compelling force in Indian politics over the last two decades. Ornit Shani's book examines the rise of Hindu nationalism, asking why distinct groups of Hindus, deeply divided by caste, mobilised on the basis of unitary Hindu nationalism, and why the Hindu nationalist rhetoric about the threat of the impoverished Muslim minority was so persuasive to the Hindu majority. Using evidence from communal violence in Gujarat, Shani argues that the growth of communalism was not simply a result of Hindu-Muslim antagonisms, but was driven by intensifying tensions among Hindus, nurtured by changes in the relations between castes and associated state policies. These, in turn, were frequently displaced onto Muslims, thus enabling caste conflicts to develop and deepen communal rivalries. The book offers a challenge to previous scholarship on the rise of communalism, which will be welcomed by students and professionals. |

| history of puri jagannath temple: Account of the Temple of Jagannath Rajendralala Mitra, W W Hunter, Andrew Sterling, 2025-01-30 Account of the Temple of Jagannath at Puri comprises the first hand information that has been compiled from three reliable sources authored by Orientalists: Dr Rajendralala Mitra's Antiquities of Orissa (2 vols.), Sir W.W. Hunter's Imperial Gazetteer of India and Andrew Sterling's Orissa: Its Geography, Statistics, History, Religion and Antiquities.

The book also mentions the difficulties and dangers that devotees may face when undertaking a pilgrimage to Puri, at the hands of unscrupulous people, who take advantage of the simple-minded, etc., and also appeals to the educated Hindus for religious reform.

| history of puri jagannath temple: Mayamata Bruno Dagens, 1985-01-01 The Mayamata is a Vastusastra, that is to says a treatise on dwelling and as such, it deals with all the facets of gods temple dwellings, from the choice of a site to the iconography of temple walls. It contains many precise descriptions of villages and towns as of temples, houses, mansions and palaces.

| history of puri jagannath temple: CHRIST vs KRISHNA : RE-READING SAKES IN HISTORIC CONTEXT Prof.M.M. Ninan, 2018-09-14 Way back in the year 2005 when we met in New York at the First International Conference on Early Christianity in India the scholarship that were present felt that we have discovered the secret of the history after a long period of research into the history of the Language of Sanskrit and the history of the religion today known as Hinduism. My study in this area appeared in the Souvenir of the Conference which I thought was a ground breaking work and was wondering how with all the historic realities and documentary and archeological evidences why no one else thought about this earlier. So when I stumbled on the Christ vs., Krishna by Sakes written over 120 years ago I was clean flabbergasted. How could such a clear understanding of realities remained hidden to the scholarship for such a long time? |
