Jagaddhatri Pooja at Chandernagore, West Bengal

MAA JAGADDHATRI pooja. This is similar to Durga Pooja and big pandals are put up for this and images installed. This is from Ashtami to Dasami. It was from 21st to 23rd November this year. The images are the same in all pandals and this pooja is held only in Chandernagore, a town that was earlier a French territory. I do not have a photograph as I was almost beaten up for taking photographs when I saw the pooja some years back.

I am giving below the excerpts from a book.

The Jagaddhatri Pooja

The formal difference between Durga and Jagaddhatri occurs in 'Maya Tantra' (2nd & 4th Section) and Jagaddhatri is mentioned with reference to Durga in Krishnananda's ' Tantrasara.' The ruling to perform the special puja of the goddess on the ninth lunar day of the light fortnight in the month of Kartick has been referred to in 'Smritiratnahar' by Brihaspati Roymukut and in 'Kritya Tattarnab' by Srinath Acharya Churamoni of the 15th-16th century.

The ancient history of Jagaddhatri Puja in Chandernagore is unknown even today. It is heard that Indranarayan Chowdhuri introduced the Jagaddhatri Puja in Chandernagore in the manner of King Krishnachandra of Krishnanagore. The time of the beginning of the Jagaddhatri Puja in Krishnanagore was 1762. It was the last year of the reign of Nawab Mirkashem. Indranarayan Chowdhuri died in 1756. So Indranarayan Chowdhuri could by no means introduce the Jagaddhatri Puja in Chandernagore in 1763. The beginning of the Jagaddhatri Puja in Chandernagore probably dates back earlier than 1750. Indranarayan performed the Jagaddhatri Puja at his own house in Chandernagore, at that time Krishna Chandra used to come to borrow money from Indranarayan. Perhaps Krishna Chandra was attracted to the greatness of Jagaddhatri at this time.

In 1780 Bengal Gazette of James August Hickey was the first newspaper of this country. The newspaper was silent about the Jagaddhatri Puja. Anyway, 'Friends of India' published a report on the community Jagaddhatri Puja in 1820. The date of the community Jagaddhatri Puja in Chandernagore was 1790. In those days Robert Clive called Loxmigonj of Chandernagore the 'Granary of Bengal'. The Jagaddhatri Puja at Chaulpotty (Rice Market) in Loxmigonj is probably the historic example of the ancient community Jagaddhatri Puja. The Jagaddhatri Puja of Chandernagore bridges the past and the present. A spontaneous universal merry making contributes to the success of the Jagaddhatri Puja of Chandernagore.

The fourhanded goddess is carried by the lion every where, an elephant lies at the feet of the lion. The idol has an old fashioned shaping, i.e., the face cutting is of a longish pattern; it has large eyes spread upto the ears and the four hands display conch, discus, shaft and bow respectively. The exterior colour of the goddess is that of the rising sun. The snake is her sacred thread. She is seated on a lotus. The potter's technique of building the idol is commendable indeed. The maximum height of the idol is twenty two feet. One of the main attractions of the Jagaddhatri idol of Chandernagore is the ornamental decoration of the goddess with sola and the beautiful canvas of mats with paintings at the back of the image. The idol of the goddess assumes a unique beauty with the beautiful cloth, veil, ornaments and crown made with pith by the florist artistes of this place and Katoa. The wonder of illumination is after all a primeval glory of Chandernagore .

From the book DISCOVER CHANDERNAGORE by Dr. Ajit Kumar Mukhopadhay & Kalyan Chakrabortty

May MAA JAGADDHATRI bless us all.

Jai MAA

|| JAI SHRI MATAJI ||

Dear Shri Girish Bhai, JAI SHRI MATAJI !

Though all these Ice-Pack, Lemon-n-Chilly & Shoe-Beating are Sahaja Yogic methods to eliminate specific problems, you should pay full attention of yours to Meditation. At regular basis every Sahaja Yogi has to Meditate twice-a-day & has to do Foot-Soaking atleast once a day before going to bed. Also, we've to give Self Realization to as many seekers as possible & go out of the way to work for Sahaja Yoga. Therefore it's a Protocol that you MUST attend atleast one Public Programme a week.

If you follow the above regulations, no doubt you'll have all your problems solved effortlessly. As far as awareness of these treatments is concerned, please contact Senior Sahaja Yogis in your Collective for the same.

Yours Sahaja Yogi Brother,

Dr. Nitin Khandelwal, Ujjain Sahaja Yoga Yuva Shakti, UJJAIN, INDIA.

Hello Preeti,

 

Try and take them to the center and introduce them to

dhyana. Only when they feel the rising will it make

sense to them.

 

Best,

 

Rajan
