Bhakti Yoga-Devotional Service to the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna
The real purpose of religion
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, September 2013, Cape Town, South Africa, BYS lecture)
We have an interesting story about a female saint in the Islamic tradition.
One morning, she came out of her house carrying two buckets, one with fire inside and the other, with water. And people saw her and said, "Oh! What are you going to do with all that fire and water?"
She said, "With the fire, I'm going to burn heaven, and with this water, I'm going to put out the flames of hell."
"You're going to burn heaven?"
She said, "Yes, I'm going to burn heaven because most people are only interested in spirituality because they want to attain heaven, and others are into spirituality because they're afraid to go to hell. I'm going to burn heaven and put out the flames of hell so that people will take up the real purpose of religion, which is to develop love of God."
Yours
The real purpose of religion
8 Wonders of the Jagannath Temple in Puri are as follows–
1.Flag always flaps in opposite direction of air.
2.From any place in Puri you, will always find the Sudarshan Charka (Charka at top of Temple) facing you.
3.Normally during day-time, air comes from sea to land and during evening, the vice-versa occurs. But in Puri it's totally opposite.
4.No bird or planes fly above the Temple.
5.The shadow of the main dome is invisible at any time of the day.
6.The quantity of cooked food inside the Temple remains same for the entire year. But that same quantity of prasadam can feed few thousand people and 20 lac people, Still it won't get wasted.
7.In the Temple kitchen, 7 pots are kept on each other and cooked on firewood. In this process the contents in the top pot get cooked first and then the bottom one.
8.After entering from Singhadwara's first step (from inside of the Temple), you can't hear any sound produced by the ocean. But, when you cross the same step (from outside of the Temple) you can hear it. This can be noticed clearly during evening.
JAI JAGANNATH SWAMI KI!!
