Tantra in Shree Mandir (Part 1)



Is Jagannath Dakshina Kali? Is Balabhadra Tara?
The Direct Application of Pancha 'M' Kara in Shree Mandir

Ugratara Shulapani Subhadra Bhubaneswari
Neeladrantou Jagannatha Sakshat Dakshinakalika.

Whenever we attempt to associate Shreekhetra with Tantra, the first verse that comes to mind is this one. However, its authenticity has been a matter of eternal debate between two opposing sides. One side claims that this verse is Tantric in origin, although there is little direct evidence of it in present times. The other side dismisses it as entirely fake or fabricated.

Positioning myself in the middle ground, I will discuss how Jagannath is considered Dakshina Kali. Jagannath is essentially Vishnu to the Vaishnavas, Surya to the Sauras, Ganesha to the Ganapatyas, Shiva to the Shaivas, and Shakti to the Shaktas. Naturally, as a result of this tradition, this verse has gained popularity, and it is commonly quoted by many servitors and researchers of Shree Mandir. It is a natural tendency to carry forward one's own tradition. However, today, we will explore whether Jagannath is actually addressed as Dakshina Kalika in Shree Mandir and, if so, when and in what context.

In another local authoritative text, Mahapurusha Vidya, we find:

"Tara yantre Mahashesha: Subhadra Bhubaneswari
Shyama yantre Jagannatha Dakshina Kalika Swayam."

We know that in Shree Mandir, on the Ratna Singhasana, Goddess Peeta Bimala, in the form of Bhagavati Subhadrika, resides at the center, flanked by Shiva-like Balabhadra on one side and Vishnu-like Jagannath on the other. In the Shree Yantra-like structure of Shree Mandir, Jagadamba Bimala is present as Mahabhairavi. The primary Peetha (seat) of Goddess Bimala is located in the southwest direction of Balabhadra's vast form. Bimala Devi is the supreme empress of Uddiyana Tantra. There is no doubt that the Peetha where she resides is a Tantric Peetha. However, a detailed discussion of Bimala and her Tantric aspects will be covered in a later part.

Now, let us return to today's topic. In the daily Chaturdhaara Puja, there is no direct application of Pancha 'M' Kara (the five secretive Tantric practices). However, indirect symbolic applications are present, which most people are aware of. During Snana Yatra and Anabasara, certain esoteric Tantric rites involving Karala Chandan and others are performed, but otherwise, throughout the year, Jagannath is worshiped using Vasudeva, Bhubaneswari, and Narayana mantras.

I have not found any authentic evidence in any local texts regarding the presence of Yantras on the Ratnavedi. However, the presence of Jagannath's Shakti aspect is primarily due to his association with Goddess Bimala in the Bhairavi Chakra. As Madhava, he resides with the Goddess and accepts worship during the Sharadiya Mahapuja, which includes a distinct application of Pancha 'M' Kara. During this time, sacrificial rituals involving sheep and goats are still conducted at the Peetha late at night.

Mahapuja in Shree Mandir

The Mahapuja of Mahaprabhu in Shree Mandir mainly takes place during the Nabakalebara festival, which occurs approximately every 12 or 19 years. This Darubrahma festival is the most significant and grandest festival of Shree Mandir. After the Daitas complete their search for the Daru (sacred wood), the new idols are sculpted inside Kaibalya Vaikuntha within an esoteric Ashtachandi Chakra led by Goddess Bimala and Mangala.

During this time, Lakshmi Narasimha, enshrined in the southern chamber (Dakshina Ghara), is worshiped following strict Tantric methods. However, this worship is not performed by regular Pujapandas but by Samanta Brahmins appointed by the Gajapati king. Currently, three specific lineages (Vatsa Samanta, Ratha Samanta, and Nanda Samanta) perform these rituals. These Kshatriya Brahmins primarily worship in the Shakta Peethas surrounding Shreekhetra.

During Nabakalebara, the Jeevanyasa (life infusion) of the new deities involves a direct application of Pancha 'M' Kara. These rites are mainly dedicated to Tara, Kali, and Bhubaneswari. During this period, Magur Maachh (catfish) is sacrificed in Kaibalya Vaikuntha, a practice that continues to this day. Direct application of Pancha 'M' Kara is also found in Brahma Sthana Shodhana and in the use of Tamra Kuta, Hema Kuta, and Rajata Kuta during the Jeevanyasa process. These rituals are performed under the supervision of the Rajaguru.

It is during these Chakra or Mandala pujas that Balabhadra is addressed as Tara, Bhagavati Subhadra as Bhubaneswari, and Jagannath as Dakshina Kali. Unlike the daily rituals, the usual Chaturdhaara Puja mantras are not used in Nabakalebara. Instead, these Chakra Puja traditions are the primary reason behind the association of Jagannath with Kali, Balabhadra with Tara, and Subhadra with Bhubaneswari.

During these ceremonies, offerings (Naivedya) are not placed in vessels but directly inside pots, which is why it is called Abhara Naivedya. At this time, Lakshmi Narasimha, enshrined in the Dakshina Ghara, is also invoked as Simhamukha Krodha Bhattaraka, while Lakshmi is addressed as Para Bhattarika.

Additionally, during Nabakalebara, all Yajnas are conducted not with Narayana or Vasudeva mantras but with Patala Narasimha mantras. Perhaps this is why, in the traditions of Shree Mandir, Jagannath continues to be associated with Kali, while Balabhadra is linked to Tara.

People in this sub are gonna love this one.

It's better to say sorry and walk away.

The Associated Press, banned from the WH, is the only US source of uncensored news now. Or, you know, every other outlet in the world (The Guardian, Reuters, BBC, CBC, Al Jazeera).

True...

Learning a language can be for a few different things. One for profession or career growth, one to converse with people around you ( for mother tongue this is a natural requirement otherwise soru kedaikadhu) and another for leisure or out of own interest.

None of this should be mocked or ridiculed or looked down up. As long as the person can afford to learn the language it’s perfectly fine for them to do so.
