I stayed up late and again started watching the live coverage from 2 AM onwards. Traditionally, all the lights inside the temple are switched off during the process. Lights around the temple were switched off at 3.26 AM. The view showed a large number of devotees - men, women and children - sitting on the Bada Danda adjacent to the temple, with lighted earthen lamps, chanting bhajan. This went on till morning when I switched off my TV. I presumed that the holy and secret ritual of Bramha Paribartan was going on inside the temple.<br /><br />It became known on the 16th was that what was going on during the sacred time of the night of June 15-16 was not Bramha Paribartan but verbal duels and even fist-fights among the warring daitapatis! What a betrayal of the bhajan-chanting devotees sitting up all night on the Bada Danda and millions of believers of the Jagannath culture!The Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412404735122453896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280250587598936924.post-9024223715446643162015-07-11T09:25:43.959-07:002015-07-11T09:25:43.959-07:00Why people want to destroy everything without real...Why people want to destroy everything without realizing that they are destroying only themselves.Nishihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508916813908183994noreply@blogger.com
