Puri jagannath

[Guest guest]

hello members

members,

 

worship in puri jagannath temple is performed as per the shakta

tantras. there is a devi called vimala in the temple complex of

jagannath temple. One elderly gentleman told me that prior to the

cult of krishna worship in puri, there used to be a powerful shakti

cult at puri. To support this statement, he mentioned ashta sambhus

(8 siva temples surrounding the jagannath in the city) that are in

the city. As per tantra, the devi that is surrounded by ahta sambhus

is a powerful place for shakti worship. There is also a Viraja temple

at jajpur which is another devi. I am also told that the present

subhadra is durga and the krishna and balarama were the attendants of

durga who flank on either side.

 

Can the learned members throw some light on Puri Jagannath Temple and

its mode of tantric worship which i am told is present till today.

What is the secret of sakti worship behind the jagannath temple.

 

Srinivas rao
