“Krsna I will do this. From now on I will chant my rounds with great concentration and great attention. I won’t let my mind be distracted. I won’t listen to my mind.”

And that is our determination and then we say:

“But actually Krsna please help. Krsna please help me do this. I am very confident; I am very bold that I can do this. But actually I can’t do this without Your help, without Your mercy.”

Tulasi Ksetra Kendrapara Odissa (Album 110 photos)
→ Dandavats.com

Just as Puri is the place of Jagannath, Kendrapara is the place of Balaram. It is said that Balaram went there 5,000 years ago and killed a demon and married the demon’s daughter Tulasi (as I understand it an expansion of the original Tulasi). The main temple in Kendrapara is the Baladevjiu Mandir, with deities of Jagannath, Baladev, Subhadr and Tulasi. It is a large temple compound that is over 2 acres in size, and is said to have been completed in the middle of the 18th century. Unfortunately, westerners are not allowed inside 🙁

Kendrapara is not far from Choti Mangalapur, the native place of Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur. Bhaktivinode was the first headmaster of the English medium High school in Kendrapara.

The deities of Jagannath, Baladev, Subhadra in Kendrapara are a little unusual, Balaram and Jagannath have small mustaches! Read more ›
