Bibhuti Baba's discourse
Jaga - Balia are passionate foodlover. Love for Laxhmi is not that passionate, drives her away on differentoccasions, as when laxhmi went forManabasa Gurubara Osha from Bada Deula. As Rama, driven Sita to forest, asKrushns, left Radha, Throughout the day, they take as much as breakfat & 5meals.. Let us see Timing.
Jagannath does not take Tea. Rather he prefersbreakfast at 8AM- Ballav bhog or Bala bhog
10AM-Rajbhog/ Mandap Bhog
12 Noon- Chhatra Bhog
2 PM- Madhyanna bhog- Jagannath sleep for a few hours after this heavylunch. So no 2 hourly meal till
Evenining- Sandhyadupa Bhog
Night- Bada shrungar Bhog
Aforesaid Chhatra bhog is met from publicdonation , prepared by Supakar Samity. Chhatrabhoga may be prepared twice ormore as per demand for distribution among Bhaktas.
Rest are Kotha Bhoga, 4 times a day, met fromJaga’s own property & contribution of Thakura Raja of Puri. It is madeexlusively with pure Ghee, and distributed among the priests of the day andRoyal palace.
Theland lady of Bada Deula is Bimala.She gave permission to Jagannath to stay in the temple on the condition that, Prasad(Bhoga) offered to Jagannath mustagain be offered to Bimala. After this offering, Prasad becomes MAHAPRASAD,& can be shared by low caste & Brahmins from the same plate.
Bhoga offered to deity at Ratnabedionly becomes Mahaprasad, so Bhoga offered during Ratha Jatra is not Mahapradsad for this reason.
(Ratnabedi is mysteriously secretand most sacred. It is hollow and has a secret door. It is told that itcontains one lac Shalagram Shilas. It is abode of all Gods. In reality, Bhoga is offered to the Ratnabediitself. Who knows, if any day this secretdoor is opened, another Padmanavaswamy Temple of Tirubatapuram case may repeat !!)
Pachana - During sicknessfollowing Snanjatra during Anabasar, Jagannath takes Pachana. It is made of Cream, candy,water of green coconut, Sago, Cadamon, TejaPatra, leaves ofNeem, Amla,Kasaphala,Nutmeg, Kalmegh,Cannabis, Dalchini,Zinger, Honey,Pepper,mixed withmilk and water of Ganges.
Chhapan Bhoga- Dry Bhoga of 56 types, made in mandir itself.
(Jagannath is pure vegetarian,But Bimala is non-vege, During special Puja in Sarodatsab for 16 days, sheepis sacrificed, even Jagannatha shares theoffering as Bhairaba Durga Madhaba. )
I know that I am missing many things. Can any body spare few moments toannex ? Prafulla Bhaina !! are U listening?
