Satsang and Bhajan on "Pahili Bhoga and Lord Jagannath at Srimandir" held
Puri (By Abhishek Mohanty):
A satsang along with bhajan and devotional discussions on Pahili Bhoga of the Puri Srimandir and Lord Jagannath was successfully held at Radha Krishna Temple, Lokanath Road, Puri.
The programme was organized jointly by Shree Jagannath Sanskruti Prachar Sansthan and Shree Jagannath Bhakta Samaj, Puri.
Arrangements were made for devotees to partake of Pahili Bhoga Prasad.
Senior Jagannath devotees from Puri attended the satsang and delivered their blessings and spiritual messages.
The satsang was conducted with the collective cooperation of Shree Jagannath Bhakta Samaj, Puri.
After all participants partook of the Pahili Bhoga Prasad, the main programme commenced.
All rituals and activities were completed by evening, after which the participants returned.
It was emphasised that the soul is a part of the Supreme Soul, and that human beings, created by the Creator, are trying to deny the Creator, misleading others and attempting to portray themselves as supreme.
According to the ages of creation:
In Satya Yuga, the Lord is Hari Narayan.
In Treta Yuga, the Lord incarnated as Rama.
In Dwapara Yuga, the Lord appeared as Krishna.
In Kali Yuga, the Lord is worshipped as Daru
Brahma Shree Jagannath.
It was also expressed that certain institutions, by disrespecting Mahaprabhu and Jagannath culture, are pushing our culture and the world into a grave crisis.
The programme was coordinated by Purnachandra Mahapatra, Dr. Narayan Mohapatra, Shashikanta Rath, Suresh Mishra, Trilochan Nayak, and Bhagaban Das.
As chief guests, Swamiji Dhruba Maharaja (Subodh Mission), Badyanath Mahasuara, and Babaji Charan Das attended the event, inaugurated the programme, and delivered their blessings.
