Gajapati Ramachandra Dev – II & Change Of Religion

Now a days, havoc have been expected from the change of Religion in our Country. In this connection two legendary persons are coming to the memory. They were Rama Chandra Dev, the king of Khurdha Under Bhoi Dynasty and Madhusudan Das. Rama Chandra Dev adopted Muslim Religion on Pressure & M. S Das adopted Christinity spontaneously but after change of religions they were much dedicated to Lord Sri Jagannath & they tried their best to preserve the honor of Lord Sri Jagannath till their death.

Rama Chandra Dev was previously known as Kesab Ray. His coronation was done soon after death of his brother Gopinath Dev during the year 1727. He ruled for a period of Ten years. During his reign the Muslims were attacked Khurdha frequently as a result the Khurdha became poor. During the year 1731 the Sisupala Gada was ruined by Taki Khan then lieutenant Nabab of Bengal. He was very much against Hunduism. Ramachandra Dev was captivated by Taki Kahn & forced to adopt Islamism. After became muslim he adopted a name as per Muslimism - Hafiz Kadar Beg. After Converted to islam he tried to his best to protect Lord Jagannath from Muslim attack. Obtaining information on invasion of Sri Jagannath Temple by Taki Khan the local devotees replaced Lord Jagannth and kept secretly out of the reach of muslims.

Though he served his best to protect Sri Jagannth from Muslim attack, but the Hindu devotees never shown any respect towards him. Rather he sustained much adverse situation during his life time as Muslim. To protect Sri Jagannth form Muslim attack he took marriage with the daughter of Nawab Nazim Murshid as result the muslim attack on Sri Mandir had been stoped some extent.

Deprived from throne & harassed by own people Rama Chandra Dev took asylum of King Narasingpur During the year 1737 Rama Chandra Dev & his muslim wife Razia alias Suryamani Devi commited suside on harassment. Their crimission was held at the bank of Mahandi by the king of Narsighpur Sri Mandardhar Mansingh and the land known as Maha Swamsan. For offering light on each evening to the souls, the arranged handled propriety for the purpose. If a memorial can be constructed at the Place of their end of life, then the memory of Rama Chandra Dev & Razia will revived.

Padma Besha - Costume Of Lord Jagannath

Padma Besha is one of the important costumes [Besha] that are performed all through the year. Lord Jagannath who is dressed in this besha or any besha is the symbolization of Love, eternity devoted to the spiritual aspect. As Lord Jaggnnath is the all in one figure, everyone views his beloved worshiper within him. In his eyes no one is big or small, rich or poor, saint or devil, everyone is equal. Any person or devotee who presents him anything with love, He excepts them with great pleasure. This besha has some love or affection towards his dearest devotee.

Padma Besha is performed in Magha and Basanta Panchami, on any Saturday or wednessday between the reappears of the new moon day. In winter season lotus disappear from the tanks and Pond , But during this time it reappears. In Indian culture Lotus is the symbol of health and wealth and it is also the National symbol. Lotus is the favorite flower of Goddess Laxmi, who is the supreme Lord of health and wealth The costumes is offered by the Badachata Matha, which is made of ‘ Solo ‘ lace and designed paper. Khir ( Pudding) is offred to the three deities, when Padma Besha is performed.

There is a very great historical legend behind this Besha. The younger brother of last Ganga King was Mitrabhanu, who was very famous as the devotee of Lord Jagannath. After a long period of meditation in Mahindra Hill, he was returning to visit Lord Jagannath.

On his way he came across to a pond where lotus flower are grown. It attract him to plucked them and decide to offer Lord Jagannath. He carried those flowers to Sri Khetra and handed over to the servitor [Sebaka ] with love and adoration for the deities. As he came by walked it took long period to reach out Srikhetra – Puri. In the mean time the flowers turned to black, So the servitor [ Sebaka ] of lord Jagannath refused to offer those flowers as they have turned black.

When Mitrabhanu Das heard those words he felt that all his dreams have been faded out, He felt sorrow and sad for not accepting his flowers for decoration of lord jagannath. Be seeing Lord Jagannath put his mercy eyes on those flowers. The dried flowers turned to fresh flowers with a sweet fragrance. The servitor [ Sebaka ] who have seen those dried flowers before, has astonished by visualising this miracle.

When lord Jagannath, Balavadra and Subhadra were dressed in this besha they appear as a heavenly beauty in the eyes of the devotee.

Rathajatra 2008

“Hoilu Dasa Avatara
Nasilu Abanira Bhara”

Many scholars have attempted to describe the quality and quantity of Lord Jagannath, but they fail to achieve the full goal. The scope of Lord Jagnnath is always beyond the imagination. But Jagnnath always tie with love and bhakty of Devotees, at Rathyatra he can not stop his temple. He come to Badadanda [ Road ] to satisfy the devotees love and emotion.

The cult of Jagannath is meant for universal brotherhood, love, tolerance, equality, and fraternity. It is not a sectarian religion, but a cosmopolitan and eclectic philosophy. It has embraced all types of spiritual thoughts through years.

“Aasa Sangata, Gundicha Jata
Dekhijiba Para Sahi Go
Barsa Dekhi Bharsa Pauny
Sahaje Ashda Masa Go” [ Odiya Language Kabita ]

Jay Jagannath.

Jagannath Swami Nayana Pathgami Bhava Tume

Every year Rathayara is celebrated at Puri, more than 70,000 thousand people gather to get the bless of Lord JAGANNATH.. Even after knowing this is repetitive celebration all come back Puri to see the Lords carnival.

This year on 4 – July – 2008 the Rathyatra has held. Hindu mythology say not only human beings, but also this festival is celebrated by angels of heaven. It is the fact Sree Krusn is one part of Lord Jaganath. Here is a line “Jagannatha Ate Sola Kala, Tahhun Kalaye Nanda Bala”. It means from the 16 parts of energy, Sree krusna is one part of energy.

The full avtar having all 16 Kalas (energy), or divine arts or attributes within Jagannath.

They are as follows:

1. Daya - Compassion
2. Dharjya - Patience
3. Kshrma - Forgiveness
4. Nyaya - Justice
5. Nirpeksha - Impartiality
6. Niraskata - Detachment
7. Tapsya - Meditation and spritual Powers
8. Aparchitta - Invincibility
9. Danasheel - Beneficience. Bestower of all wealth in the world and nature.
10. Saudarjyamaya - Beauty Incarnate
11. Nrityajna - Best Dancers
12. Sangitajna - Best Of Singers
13. Neetibadi - Embodiment of Honesty
14. Satyabadi - Truth Itself
15. Sarvagnata - Perfect master of all arts, such as poetr drama, painting etc.
16. Sarvanyanta - Controller of All
    

Rathyatra is the movement of PARAMATMA to meet Atma. We are all Atma, reflectons of PARAMATMA. Like Moon reflect in all pool and water pot resembles like more moon in this world. But in reality moon is one. Like moon reflections we are all reflection Of Lord.

Jagannath, the Lord of the Universe, perhaps is the most ancient of the deities of Hindu Pantheon. Now A Days Jagannath Is not only for Hindu, Jagannath is for all, there is no cast and creed to celebrate Rathayatra.
