India's Most Mysterious Temple: Discover the Untold Secrets

The mysterious world of Jagannath Puri temple:

There is a story of miracle in Puri of Odisha state of India which is beyond the power of science to understand. All the bases of science, geography, physics, chemistry and beliefs of the world fail here.

There are four Dhams in Hindu belief, Badrinath Dham, Dwarkadhish Dham, Rameshwaram and Jagannath Puri and this is the story of Jagannath Puri where the real heart of Shri Krishna still beats. There are some such secrets of this temple that anyone will be shocked to hear about it.

By following Western culture, we have come to a point where people have started questioning the existence or non-existence of God. But I will ask you the same question. Let us see, where the idols in every temple are made of metal or stone, the idols of God in the Jagannath temple are made of wood.

Let us tell you why this happened Jara performed the last rites of Shri Krishna with full rituals but when his pyre was lit, Jara saw that a shining metal object had not yet burned.

Jara could not understand what it was so he picked it up and went to sell it but no one even touched it, let alone buy it. Then finally Jara gave up and put that metal object on a piece of wood and floated it in water.

Heart of Lord Krishna:

During the Gupta Empire, King Indra Dam of Avanti, who was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu, one day in his dream, Lord Vishnu asked him to take a dip in a river and said that he would meet him in the river in a wooden box. After seeing this dream, the next day the king went to take a dip.

While taking a dip, the king saw a wooden box at a distance in the river. Without any delay, the king reached the box and brought it to the palace. The king asked the farmer to fulfill his condition.

Since the king was ready to accept any condition, the farmer said that I need 21 days to make this idol and I want that before 21 days neither anyone should talk to me nor meet me nor anyone should delay my work. The king happily accepted this condition. The work of making the idol started. Every day the sounds of the idol being made were also heard but gradually those sounds stopped.

The queen of Avanti thought that perhaps the farmer had died of hunger and thirst. So he requested to open the door of the room where the idol work was going on and the king had to agree to his request. As soon as the door opened he saw that there was no farmer there and there were only three idols, Lord Jagannath, his brother Balabharati.

In the same idol of Jagannath ji was also kept that metal object which was nothing but the beating heart of Shri Krishna. Stone and metal are good conductors of electricity and wood is a poor conductor of electricity. That is why the idols in the Jagannath temple are made of wood.

Transfer of the heart of Lord Krishna: A ritual every 12 years

Not only this, once every 12 years a new idol of the Lord is installed and the heart of the Lord is transferred to that idol. This is done because the energy transmission device present in that idol, if we talk scientifically, transmits so much energy that the wood gets exhausted over time and that is why it needs to be replaced.

But the process of replacing it is also very interesting like every 12 years there is a day when no one is allowed to enter the temple. The electricity of the entire city is cut off.
