Produktbeschreibung
In this book the author tries to find out answers to his queries from the authentic archives, historical publications & a large range of reference materials including folklores. He holds the view that, Jagannath is not only an ancient deity for worship across communities, sects and religions but also a veritable fulcrum around which regional, subnational, national and even global mainstreams of knowledge, philosophy, religion, arts and culture and contemporary socio-political discourses have evolved over the millennia. So the Jagannath Cult can be truly conceived as the culmination of human cultural evolution. This is evident from the name itself of the deity as the Lord of the Universe. Located in the hallowed land where great ancient sages composed richa of Rig Veda which led to the setting of the Gobardhan Peeth by Adi shankaracharya as a centre for preservation and promotion of Rig Ved., Lord Jagannath is thus the 'Purusottama' and Puri is the "Purusottama Kshetra' as described in the hallowed magnificent ancient treatise the "Skanda Purana". Therefore, Jagannatha is the nucleus (Navi kendra) of the Great Indian Knowledge Tradition, mentions the author. Lord Jagannath is truly India's National Deity.
Autorenporträt
Harihar Panda, a new generation story-teller who arranges words like shots in a visual series and culls lines from history to enrich his narratives. A working journalist for nearly two decades he loves to voyage along rivers and valleys in the wild in search of exotic stories of forgotten palaces & forts of Odisha. He Produces and presents travel stories on Television and a regular Op-ed Columnist on Print. Travelogue "Antaranga Odisha" is his first publication, which comprises nineteen stories on virgin beaches, lesser known waterfalls, bespoken culture and natives of Odisha. He is fortunate to be born in the holy city of Puri, famous for Lord Jagannath. Having grown up in this socio culture milieu of deep-seated attachment to the Lord and his living traditions, the author has also nurtured a sense of inquiry into the legend and history of the Jagannath Cult.
