Jagannath, The 'Lord Of The Universe'
Jagannath, the Lord of the Universe', is ready for his customary annual journey with his siblings. He takes along his brother and sister, rather than his consort, Goddess Mahalakshmi. Since he is going to his parents' place, it is appropriate for him to do so. The siblings would be able to bond together and relive happy memories of a childhood that was sweet and innocent. Despite his various incarnations, the Lord of the Universe does not forget when he really is. The Bhagwad Gita tells us that the Lord reveals himself as the Supreme Being, birth less, immutable and imperishable. Krishna, an incarnation, says that among those who worship him, the wise are dearest to him. The three gunas of prakriti or nature sattva, rajas and tames-emanate from him and are under his control. He is creator, preserver and destroyer, as well as the past, present and future. He is the flavour in water, radiance of the Sun and the coolness of the Moon, the Aum' in the Vedas, sound of the sky and manliness of man. He is the holy fragrance of the earth, heat of the fire, life of all living beings and penance of yogis. He is the seed of all beings, intelligence of the intelligent and the lustre of radiant ones. He is the strength of the strong, bereft of desire, and energy of procreation that is not contrary to dharma. Certainly nobody knows the Lord of the Universe. Four types of persons invoke him; the distressed, seeker of knowledge, desirer of wealth and the wise. Of these, the wise is dearest to him. The Supreme Power pervades the entire universe in an imperceptible way. All beings are under his control, but he is not in their control. As the all-powerful wind is confined within a space, all beings are confined within him. Не creates and destroys all beings in a cyclic fashion, but he himself is beyond this process. He, in association with Nature, creates the universe cyclically. Those who disregard the Lord of the Universe do so out of ignorance. However, the wise who offer sacrifices in knowledge, keep the unending faith in him and ultimately attain him. The Supreme Power is believed to be karanam karananam or cause of all causes; bhasakam bhasakanam or illuminator of all that illuminate; and he is creator, preserver and destroyer. He is all energy and matter. He is all knowledge. Whatever is there, manifest and unman fest, is all him for he is the master, witness and the controller of events. Whatever it is that a true per faith offers-be it alive, flower, frater-the Lord of the Universe at hat. Whatever one does, if it is doctor him, he accepts that. He has befriend nor foe. He is equally dispotowards everybody. Anybody, white him anything with devotion, is him and ultimately attains him. Dualities of life, such as kindandcruelty, happiness and miser intelligence and foolishness, knoand ignorance, truthfulness andhood, fear and fearlessness, birth death, violence and equanimity, and infamy-all of these are creaby the Supreme to maintain balloon wonder the faithful chant,
