Description:Lord Jagannatha is another form of lord Vishnu. The origin and the myths about him are vast and shrouded with mystery. There are not many books and treatise on him. Whatever is available is sketchy and describes only a few commonly known facts and episodes. Thus, except for the local people of Puri many are unaware of the various legends, stories and folktales about him.The recently published book “Saga of Jagannatha and Badadeula at Puri” is a unique effort by the author who has put together many interesting legends and folktales about lord Jagannatha and his temple Badadeula that are hitherto unknown to many.The book written in plain and simple English describes the story of lord Jagannatha and the various theories surrounding him- Tribal, Vedic, Jain and Buddhist. It also deals with the description of his temple Badadeula at Puri and the minor and major shrines within its precincts. The book also goes on to give a detailed account of the important festivals of lord Jagannatha and daily and periodic rituals of worship of the Lord. Last but not the least it gives an insight into the Mahaprasada - the food offerings to lord Jagannatha. In addition, there are several annexes describing the fables and legends associated with lord Jagannatha,and the alien invasions on Badadeula and Puri. Apart from dealing with the main topics in detail, the author has included a brief account of Puri and its surrounding areas which would be useful for the devotees and visitors. In short, the book is a complete book on Jagannatha and his abode at Puri. Dr. Kabi Prasada Mishra, an eminent cardiologist and an authority on Jagannatha cult, in his Foreword writes “The book is concise and heavily illustrated yet comprehensively lucid and profound in its approach on the subject.
