Lord Jagannath

Lord Jagannath is the focal point of the cultural synthesis of Odisha. Jagat (cosmos) is the flux. Jagannath ( Jagat + nath ) is revered to be the Lord of this flux inhabiting and presiding over it. This book entitled Lord Jagannath: An Enigmatic Emblem of Cosmic Consciousness illustrates and establishes the cosmic values and inspirations that are ingrained in the campus of Jagannath culture and with the traditional procedures of daily worship and significant celebrations like Navakalebara (New Embodiment) and Rathayatra (Car Festival). This book deals with the culture, rituals and consciousness related to Lord Jagannath. When the contemporary world is infested by scepticism and frightened by terrorism, the proper understanding and elevation of Jagannath consciousness would inaugurate a new horizon of universal brotherhood and peace.
